Prices of solar modules imported from China are trending downward, worrying domestic manufacturers because they can’t compete if prices keep declining. Imported module prices went up after the imposition of basic customs duty in April 2022 but have decreased in recent months, with increased polysilicon production coming online and inventories building up in China. Chinese module average selling prices have dropped by almost 17% since the start of the financial year, nearly matching the prices offered by domestic manufacturers.
