4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Photovoltaic panel crisis"

Will China's photovoltaic industry remain bearish in 2025?

The most actively traded June 2025 polysilicon futures contract on the GFE closed at 42,560 yuan per tonne on Friday December 29, up 2.38% from the initial price of 41,570 yuan per tonne on December 26. Read more from Fastmarkets on why bearishness in China's photovoltaic (PV) industry is expected to remain in 2025 amid overcapacity.

Do climate-induced risks disproportionately affect PV development in low- and low-income economies?

Additionally, climate-induced risks disproportionately narrow the benefits of PV development in low- and lower-middle-income economies, where ELP risks rise at 1.8 times the global rate under SSP3-7.0. Our results underscore the need for coordinated mitigation and adaptation to secure power reliability in a changing climate.

Will polysilicon oversupply impact the PV industry in 2025?

Going into 2025, industry participants expect the oversupply of polysilicon to continue to weigh on the market, causing significant financial strain and widespread losses across the industry, Fastmarkets heard during an industry forum that took place on December 25. “The PV industry started its downward trend from the end of 2023.
