China Solar Module Price Floor Proposal and TOPCon Export Pricing
What happened
On October 11, eight major polysilicon manufacturers met in Hangzhou and proposed minimum selling prices of CNY 0.79/W for TOPCon modules, CNY 0.86/W for back-contact modules and CNY 43/kg for polysilicon, inclusive of tax. The proposal is not reported as adopted or in force, and no effective date is given. The OPIS Global Solar Markets Report released October 20 put the Chinese Module Marker for TOPCon modules below 645 W at $0.107/W FOB China, unchanged for a second week. Trade sources questioned whether the proposed floors can be sustained, according to pv magazine. The current position is that the OPIS marker of $0.107/W FOB China stands; the proposed minimum selling prices remain a proposal by the eight manufacturers.

China's TOPCon module export prices held steady for a second week, with the OPIS Chinese Module Marker for TOPCon modules below 645 W from China unchanged at $0.107/W FOB China in the Oct. 20 OPIS Global Solar Markets Report, despite a proposal by eight major polysilicon manufacturers at an Oct. 11 meeting in Hangzhou for minimum selling prices of CNY 0.79/W for TOPCon modules, CNY 0.86/W for back-contact modules and CNY 43/kg for polysilicon, inclusive of tax.
