Breaking: Solar Wafer Prices Soar 45% in Sudden Spike

A significant development has shaken the solar industry this week, with solar wafer prices witnessing a steep upward trend.

As of the afternoon of July 16, 2025, the prices for key wafer specifications surged by approximately 45%, marking one of the sharpest price hikes in recent quarters:

•      183mm wafers: 1.45 yuan/piece
•      210R wafers: 1.65 yuan/piece
•      210N wafers: 1.93 yuan/piece

This sudden spike has been confirmed by multiple industry media platforms, including PV Infolink and EnergyTrend, with at least two major wafer manufacturers already implementing the new pricing structures.

Impact on the Supply Chain

Industry experts have confirmed sharp rise in wafer prices which have started showing strain in the solar value chain, likely leading to further price increases in solar cells and PV modules.
