The prices of wafers and solar cells registered a new high this week, accumulating two consecutive weeks of appreciation in the international market. The data comes from the weekly bulletin of InfoLink Consulting, released this Wednesday (23).
According to the report, wafers with N-Type technology were priced at US$0,141 per unit — an increase of 10,2% compared to the previous week, when they were at US$0,138.
The average price of N-type photovoltaic cells rose from US$0,033 to US$0,035/W (a 9,4% increase). For P-type cells, the increase was 8,8%, from US$0,034 to US$0,037/W.
Even with the upward movement in recent weeks, prices are still below those recorded at the beginning of the year. In January, N-Type wafers cost an average of US$0,18, while N-Type and P-Type cells were around US$0,039/W.
Stability in other inputs
Other components of the photovoltaic supply chain maintained stable prices, according to InfoLink Consulting. Polysilicon—a key raw material for cell and module manufacturing—continues to trade at US$19,00/kg, down from the US$21,00/kg seen at the beginning of 2025.
Solar modules also remained unchanged. TOPCon and HJT technologies continue with average prices of US$0,088/W and US$0,10/W, respectively. Despite this, both remain below the prices seen at the beginning of the year: US$0,09/W (TOPCon) and US$0,105/W (HJT).
