Digitimes Research: Solar prices in Greater China stay flat due to on-going negotiations
Jackie Chang, DIGITIMES, Taipei [Friday 24 February 2012]

Solar prices in Greater China were mostly flat this week (Feb 20-24), except for 156 mono solar cells which saw an increase of US$0.01/W, said Chihheng Liang, Digitimes Research analyst.

The solar supply chain has been negotiating prices for March, hence there were no significant movements in price this week, added Liang.

In addition, Germany just announced new incentive cuts and players are still considering their next moves in response to the adjustments, Liang stated.
