Polysilicon and wafer price declines to slow significantly in 2013

04.07.2012: Top-tier photovoltaic polysilicon and wafer producers should be profitable in 2013 despite continued overcapacity and price declines, according to NPD Solarbuzz. In its quarterly report on the polysilicon and wafer supply chain, the market research company forecasts that in 2013, polysilicon and wafer price declines will slow to less than 7% per year as prices approach current cash costs. NPD Solarbuzz estimates that in 2013, the average price of polysilicon and wafers will be $23 per kg and 25¢ per W, respectively. According to the report, polysilicon prices will drop 48% and wafer prices 56% year-over-year in 2012. … Source: NPD Solarbuzz; Summary: PHOTON http://www.solarbuzz.com http://www.solarbuzz.com/news/recent-findings/top-tier-photovoltaic-po lysilicon-and-wafer-producers-be-profitable-2013
