Solar-grade wafer makers adjust pricing in wake of US anti-subsidy measures
Nuying Huang, Taipei; Adam Hwang, DIGITIMES [Tuesday 17 June 2014]
Since the US Department of Commerce in early June imposed preliminary anti-subsidy tariffs on solar-grade crystalline silicon wafers, solar cells and PV modules imported from China, China-based wafer makers have lowered quotes from US$0.99/wafer to US$0.97-0.98 due to high inventory levels, while Taiwan-based makers have increased prices from US$0.98-0.99 to US$1, according to industry sources.
China-based PV module makers have asked partnering Taiwan-based solar cell makers to use Taiwan-made wafers, and to ship solar cells by the end of June to avoid the tariffs, the sources claimed. This has resulted in increased orders for Taiwan-wafer makers and price hikes, accordingly.
