Polysilicon price relief in 2023 as industry scales to 500 GW

Clean Energy Associates says solar wafer pricing will fall by 23% by the end of 2023, while BloombergNEF sees 500 GW of manufacturing capacity online by the end of next year.From pv magazine USA The China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association said last week that polysilicon prices touched $45.47/kg, before settling a bit lower. This is an increase of more than 600% from the low pricing of under $7/kg seen in the second quarter of 2020.
