China's solar panel giants, Jinko and Trina, believe that prices for solar panels have hit rock bottom and are unlikely to fall further. The current slump in prices is seen as "irrational" by Jinko Solar Co. Chairman Li Xiande, who stated that there is only a small probability that it will continue. The oversupply of solar panels in the market has led to record low prices and squeezed profit margins for manufacturers.Despite the challenges, Jinko is optimistic about a rebound in global demand for solar panels, expecting a 20% increase this year. The company has already ramped up production in the second quarter and is operating its most advanced production lines at high rates. Trina Chairman Gao Jifan also noted that there is limited room for further decline in solar module prices. China, the world's largest solar market, is facing grid constraints that may impact new installations, with March installations down 32% from the previous year.

China’s SAMR warned six polysilicon producers—including Tongwei and GCL—against coordinating capacity, sales and prices amid consolidation. Tongwei fell >3% in Shanghai; GCL >4% in Hong Kong. A consolidation fund launched in December to buy outdated capacity is under scrutiny; BofA called the plan too aggressive as the sector endures losses.Polysilicon prices rose 9.8%-10.5% last week; full-year output 1.32 million tons, -28% y/y; January seen 106,000 tons, -5% m/m. Wafer prices +8.4%-9.2%; December wafer output 47.7 GW, -14.2% m/m. Analysts see profit redistribution, tighter standards and subsidy phaseouts. Longi to swap base metals for silver; Jinko won 20.56-MW Australian order. How will SAMR’s antitrust warning reshape China’s polysilicon consolidation and pricing? Slows headline mergers and “capacity buyouts,” pushing firms toward organic exits (bankruptcies, mothballing) rather than coordinated retirements. Forces consolidation to be market-driven: lowest-cost, highest-quality producers gain share as inefficient plants bleed cash without collective lifelines. Narrows the upside of price rallies: tighter scrutiny curbs tacit supply discipline, keeping near-term polysilicon prices more volatile but capped on spikes. Extends the trough for marginal producers: without coordinated curtailments, oversupply lingers longer, delaying a clean price recovery. Shifts pricing toward transparent benchmarks and formula-based contracts; fewer off-market “gentlemen’s agreements” on floor prices. Raises legal/compliance costs: companies build antitrust firewalls, avoid data-sharing, and keep M&A talks tightly lawyered, slowing deal timelines. Pressures “consolidation funds” to adopt arm’s-length, auction-like processes with independent valuation, or pivot to rehabilitation rather than capacity removal. Encourages differentiated competition on purity, energy intensity, and reliability to win long-term offtakes, not on collective output discipline. Accelerates exit of older, high-cost Siemens lines while permitting efficient FBR/modified Siemens to run; quality-adjusted spreads widen. Increases inventory swings: firms won’t coordinate drawdowns, so destocking/restocking becomes lumpier, amplifying short-term price moves. Pushes banks and local governments to demand viability without cartel-like assurances, tightening credit for speculative expansions. Spurs downstream contract redesign: wafer/cell makers seek indexation, shorter tenors, and flex volumes to hedge against price air-pockets. Dampens regional protectionism: local subsidies tied to “orderly consolidation” get reworked to avoid signaling coordinated supply management. Raises enforcement risk on public signaling: earnings calls, industry forums, and messaging about “discipline” get sanitized, reducing tacit cues. Nudges exports toward more market-reflective pricing; lowers risk of foreign anti-dumping probes triggered by perceived concerted action. May trigger selective, case-by-case asset transfers via insolvency courts rather than industry-led capacity pooling, slowing the pace but improving price discovery. Supports a lower-for-longer cost curve reset: survivors invest in power cost optimization and metallurgical-grade inputs; losers exit without price support. Benefits tier-1 buyers with balance sheets: they lock in favorable, flexible supply while smaller buyers face intermittent tightness during volatility spikes. Medium term, consolidation still proceeds—but as a messy shakeout with episodic price rebounds, not a smooth, policy-orchestrated glide.

China Three Gorges Corp., the world's largest hydropower firm, is adding wind and also solar capacity under plans to expand its business as the age of mega-dam projects discolors. The state-owned firm currently has capability to create concerning 26 gigawatts of electrical power utilizing solar panels or wind generators, according to a statement, from 16 gigawatts in 2020. It aims to strike a target of 70 to 80 gigawatts by 2025. China is likely to see zero development in power generation from hydroelectric plants this year, while solar and also wind jump as high as 30%, Bloomberg Knowledge experts consisting of Chia Chen wrote in a Monday note. There are additionally restricted alternatives for major hydro growths, with the majority of the simplest places already utilized and costs of competing power sources decreasing much faster. Three Gorges operates numerous of the biggest global hydro projects, consisting of the Baihetan and Wudongde mega-dams in China's southwest, as well as said the modern technology made up around 70% of its complete 2021 generation capability of 104 gigawatts. Under the plans to expand its portfolio, the firm in December accepted three new overseas wind power advancements in Guangdong province, agreed a deal for assets in Spain and also has studied the possible procurement of renewables projects in Mexico.
