Solar Panel Prices on the Rise: Is This Really the Solution or Just Another Short-Term Fix? The big news: Over 30 PV companies have signed a self-discipline convention, planning to control production capacity starting next month. This means we’re likely to see module prices increase by 2-3% in the short term. But here’s the real question: Will this actually stabilize the market or just delay the inevitable price wars? Short-term impact: Yes, prices may rise slightly. But will it last? Long-term consequences: Despite these efforts, it’s hard to see this as a permanent solution when competition in the PV industry is so fierce. At Moregosolar, we've verified this development with multiple suppliers, and we’re keen to hear your thoughts. Do you think this move will bring long-term stability, or is it just a temporary fix?

What are the guidelines for the next 45 days? 5. What are the opportunities and considerations for solar installers and traders?
When purchasing solar panels, many users are confused by the difference between solar cell efficiency and module efficiency. This confusion often arises because solar cells generally have higher efficiency ratings than solar modules. However, understanding these two metrics and how they relate is crucial when evaluating supplier claims about efficiency. Understanding the difference between solar cell efficiency and module efficiency is vital for making informed decisions. While cell efficiency highlights the potential of individual cells, module efficiency reflects the actual performance of a solar panel in real-world applications. With technologies like JA Solar TOPCon and LONGi Hi-MO X10 HPBC 2.0 (645W is Available in stock), the solar industry is continually improving efficiencies. By carefully analyzing specifications and choosing the right products, installers and end-users can maximize energy output and return on investment.

READ MOREIs Your Solar Panel's Degradation Rate Costing You Thousands in Energy? Here's Why It Matters A small difference in degradation rate, from 0.4% to 0.35%, can indeed have a noticeable impact on long-term energy production. However, the extent of this impact depends on several factors, including the size of the power station, its operating lifespan, and the annual sunlight hours. We can use specific calculations to better understand how this difference affects energy generation.
READ MOREAdvantages of 0BB Over SMBB Higher Power Output: The absence of busbars reduces shading on the cell surface, allowing more sunlight to reach the active area and generate more electricity. Shorter current paths reduce resistive losses, boosting overall power conversion efficiency. For instance, Aiko Solar reported that integrating 0BB with its ABC (All Back Contact) cells increased power output by up to 5W per module. Lower Manufacturing Costs: Traditional busbars are made using silver paste, a costly material whose price has surged by over 30% since October 2023. Silver accounts for about 35% of the non-silicon costs in solar cells. By eliminating busbars, 0BB technology can significantly reduce silver consumption — by as much as 20-40%, depending on the cell type. This cost reduction is particularly impactful for HJT (Heterojunction Technology), where silver usage is highest. According to industry estimates, using 0BB can lower the cost by 0.01-0.06 CNY/W, depending on the
