Global solar polysilicon prices rise, IHS says

The ongoing trade dispute between China and the US continues to affect the manufacture of polysilicon used for solar-photovoltaic (PV) modules in both countries, but not equally. A rush to install projects in China before the deadline for feed in tariff (FIT) levels of those projects on June 30, 2016 is the primary reason polysilicon prices are increasing, according to IHS. In fact, before Chinese New Year in February 2016, polysilicon sold for just US$12 per kilogram, on average; however, prices are now expected to rise to US$19 per kilogram by April 2016.
