China's monocrystalline PERC M10 and G12 cell costs extended losses today, falling 4.54% and 16.69% to $0.0484/ W and $0.0584/ W respectively, while TOPCon M10 cells held stable at $0.0610/ W.
The rate spread for PERC M10 cells has actually broadened today. As M10 cells are up to a typical cost of around CNY0.389 ($0.055)/ W, a significant cell producer continues to provide them at about CNY0.41/ W, stating that “production will stop if the rate drops any even more.”
On the other hand, an incorporated gamer stated cell purchasers hesitate to spend for PERC M10 cells at CNY0.4/ W. The marketplace has actually even reported deal costs of CNY0.35/ W, a task designer stated.
PERC M10 cells have an “exceedingly high production capability” and “there are rather a great deal of illogical costs on the marketplace at the minute,” according to a cell manufacturer.

A boost in n-type cell costs is not likely, according to a big incorporated maker. The next 2 months are an “off-season” since of the Christmas and Chinese New Year vacations, he stated. “Depending on how low need and lacks communicate, n-type cell rates might stay stable in the future,” he continued.

According to the producer, half of PERC cell capability is anticipated to shut, leaving just 200-300 GW of PERC capability offered in 2024.
