Although the spot price of 6-inch solar wafers increased from around US$9.5-9.8 to US$10-10.5 along with a rise to US$500 in polysilicon spot pricing, recent wafer pricing over the past few weeks has not dropped along with polysilicon prices, according to sources at solar wafer makers.
Current 6-inch solar wafer spot pricing has reached NT$10-10.5, but demand still surpasses supply due to strong demand from the end market, noted the sources.
However, current solar wafer spot prices have reached the top limit of downstream solar cell makers meaning, absent of any unexpected surge in demand, pricing is likely to remain stable for a while, the sources noted.
