Prices Have Rebounded, Continuously Providing High Cost Performance for the End Market
With the market warming up and the exit of low efficiency capacity, supply-demand dynamics have stabilized. After hitting a deep bottom, wafer prices have rebounded at the beginning of 2019 and maintained a trend of continuous recovery
The end market is more focused on cost performance profile. Following the recovery, upstream product prices is expected to maintain within a reasonable range

Polysilicon: Maintain Industry Leadership Position, Developing the Benchmark Project in the Global Polysilicon Manufacture Industry
Polysilicon Wafer
Xinjiang polysilicon plant successfully commenced production, developing a high quality, low cost competitive advantage
Xinjiang polysilicon plant phase I - 50k ton capacity started production in Q1, becoming the benchmark project in the global polysilicon manufacture industry;
Competitive Advantages
Resource advantage: utilize local electricity and steam, with lower production cost
Industry leading material consumption
Long-standing operating expertise
21
Multi Wafer: Focusing on High Efficiency Products, with Quasi-Mono Achieving Comprehensive Market-oriented Mass Production
Polysilicon Wafer
1、Product Advantage Lower oxygen content, lower degradation, adaptable to all high efficiency technologies for cell and
modules; Larger size increases unit efficiency, which is the trend for future module development; Better cost performance: The latest Quasi Mono 60-piece module has power output gap of only 3W
compared to conventional Mono + PERC products; to achieve the same solar farm investment return, the back calculated price gap between Quasi Mono and conventional Mono is expected to be approximately RMB0.2/piece, 2x the actual price difference
In between mono and multi wafer, find a middle path with low cost, low energy consumption, high efficiency
