1. Intensifying Cost Pressure: Silver Emerges as a Core Component Cost
Silver is the primary raw material for the front and rear electrodes (silver paste) of PV cells. Market data indicates that the spot price of silver has experienced a substantial increase since the beginning of 2025. This has directly led to a sharp rise in the proportion of silver paste costs within the total cost of PV modules. The cost proportion is even more significant for mainstream high-efficiency N-type TopCon cells. This shift in the cost structure has transformed silver substitution ("de-silvering") from a long-term technical optimization goal into an urgent task critical to current product competitiveness and profitability.
Haoxiang's Commitment and Actions
As a vertically integrated high-tech PV manufacturer, Shenzhen Shi Haoxiang Solar fully understands the uncertainty raw material volatility brings to customer projects. We consistently place "reliability" and "innovation" at our core:
-
Supply Chain Management: Leveraging our vertically integrated advantages, we strive to mitigate the impact of raw material fluctuations on production plans through refined management and strategic procurement, committed to providing customers with stable delivery expectations.
-
Technology Portfolio: We continuously track and evaluate cutting-edge cell technologies, including low-silver/silver-free solutions. We possess mature products and manufacturing experience in various high-efficiency solar cell fields such as PERC, TOPCon, HJT, and IBC, enabling us to flexibly optimize product plans based on different market demands and technological maturity.
-
Customer Value: We firmly believe that long-term partnerships are built on tackling challenges together. Facing industry changes, we will continue to leverage our expertise in customized solar solutions—through efficient product design, stringent quality control (CE, ROHS, SGS, ISO9001 certified), and professional OEM/ODM services—to help customers optimize system costs and ensure long-term project returns.
The journey of the PV industry towards grid parity and beyond will not be without obstacles. However, every challenge in materials and technology inevitably fosters greater innovation and more robust industry collaboration. Shi Haoxiang Solar is ready to join hands with customers and partners worldwide to navigate this cycle and usher in an even brighter future for solar power generation together.
