1. Market analysis: Strong demand, rising
market As of September 22, the national average price of 3.2mm photovoltaic glass was 27.69 yuan/㎡, an increase of 7.20% over the previous month; The average price of 2.0mm PV glass in China was RMB19.83/㎡, representing a month-on-month increase of 9. On the one hand, the price of soda ash in the upstream increased, which led to an increase in the cost pressure of PV glass; on the other hand, the demand for installed capacity in the downstream was strong, while the PV glass was basically destocked, resulting in limited production capacity in the month.

Flat Chairman Ruan Hongliang: There is no overcapacity in the PV glass market 0 HTML0 UNK3 On the afternoon of September 15, Flat, the leader of PV glass, held a semi-annual performance presentation for 2023.At the meeting, Ruan Hongliang, chairman of Flat, said in response to questions from investors that the current photovoltaic glass market as a whole is a match between supply and demand, there is no problem of overcapacity, the company's existing capacity is 2.
In addition, for the promising perovskite photovoltaic technology and supporting TCO (transparent conductive film) glass research and development, Ruan Hongliang said. The development of perovskite technology is in the early stage, and the laminated technology does not adversely affect the photovoltaic glass. The company has the relevant technical reserves for the TCO glass used in the single junction technology.
Four, this month's market forecast: the market continued to rise
, the fourth quarter ushered in the peak season of installation, photovoltaic glass market continued to rise. On the supply side, there is no high inventory pressure on the supply side of photovoltaic glass in September, and it is expected that the number of ignition and production projects will increase in October. On the demand side, the increase in the market share of double-glass modules and the high demand for installed capacity will drive the consumption of photovoltaic glass. Overall, the photovoltaic glass market will continue to rise in October.
