1. Market analysis: The output of modules increased, and the market stopped falling and rose
. As of August 25, the national average price of 3.2mm photovoltaic glass was 25.83 yuan/㎡, and the average price of 2.0mm photovoltaic glass was 18.15 yuan/㎡. Recently, the operating rate of PV module manufacturers is on the high side, and with the high production schedule at the module end, the demand for PV glass is driven.

From January to July, the newly installed capacity of PV in China was approximately 97.16 GW, representing a year-on-year increase of 157. The newly installed capacity of PV in July was 18. Due to the decrease in the price of PV modules and the implementation of domestic bidding projects in the first half of the year, the demand for downstream PV installed capacity was stimulated.

By the end of August, module prices fell to around 1.24 yuan, with 182 and 210 falling by 7.14% and 6% respectively. But the decline narrowed.

At present, there are many photovoltaic glass projects to be built, but the industry is affected by the policy, and the ignition enthusiasm of enterprises is general.
Table 1: Statistics
of PV Glass Production Line Commissioning Projects in August Table 2: Statistics
of Proposed PV Glass Production Line Projects in August This project is an important measure taken by the Company to seize the "double carbon" strategic opportunity, accelerate the layout of the photovoltaic glass industry, and optimize and strengthen the core business. It is planned to construct ten photovoltaic glass kilns and supporting deep processing production lines in three phases, with an estimated total investment of about RMB 10.6 billion. In the first phase of the project, three 1000t/d photovoltaic glass kilns and supporting deep processing production lines have been built, and the No.1 kiln and supporting deep processing production lines have been put into operation to achieve stable supply to mainstream component manufacturers.
On August 28, the No.2 kiln was successfully ignited and the ignition ceremony was held in Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province. A
few days ago, the Hebei Provincial Office of Industry and Information Technology issued the Announcement on the Solar Photovoltaic Cell Packaging Material Project of Qinhuangdao North Glass Co., Ltd.
The announcement shows that the solar photovoltaic cell packaging material project (1200 tons/day ultra-white calendered photovoltaic aluminosilicate glass production line) built by Qinhuangdao North Glass Co., Ltd. has entered the stage of project publicity. The construction site of the project is located at North Zhejiang Road/West Changchun Road (intersection), Shanhaiguan District, Qinhuangdao City. The production specification is Line 1 and Line 5. The production line is divided into Line 1 and Line 2. The design capacity of each production line is 1200 tons per day. The planned ignition and commissioning time is September 2025.
4. Market forecast for this month: The market continues to improve
. With the end of the overseas summer break, the overseas PV market demand is growing, and the PV glass market is expected to improve. Affected by policies, the supply of photovoltaic glass has been tightened, and there is no high inventory pressure in the short term. It is expected that the number of ignition and production projects will increase in September. In terms of price, driven by the downstream market, it is expected that the price of photovoltaic glass will still have some room for growth.
