In short, Chinese manufacturers: LONGi, JinkoSolar,Trina,JA Solar, Risen, APsystems, Zhonghuan, in China
In brief, Chinese manufacturers:
LONGi to build a new 20 GW panel factory in Anhui province in two stages in late 2022 and 2024
JinkoSolar said polysilicon prices reached RMB261/kg on 11 May, up 2.2% from 27 April.
"This price increase must percolate through the supply chain. Panel manufacturers will be forced to sell at higher prices to cover the increased cost of the material bill. This increase will then be passed on to the end customer."
