Pricing for polysilicon and PV components continued to exhibit softness in Q2 2012 due to the persistence of the global oversupply environment that the industry has faced since early 2011. Blended contract and spot polysilicon prices declined by 27 percent quarter-over-quarter to $23/ kg. Blended module average sales prices (ASPs) for Q2 2012 were down to $0.87/W, a staggering 44 percent lower than Q2 2011 levels of $1.56/W. Thus far, module pricing does not appear to be materially affected by antidumping tariffs on modules containing Chinese cells, even though tolling cells through Taiwan does impose a slight cost increase on manufacturers. Assuming a $0.22/W wafer-to-cell conversion cost in Taiwan (compared to $0.16/W in China) and an additional $0.03/W cost increase for third-party sourcing (based on a 5% tolling margin), this equates to an overall tolling cost differen...
