Covid-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the solar industry in China: by far the largest supplier of modules and raw materials for module assembly.

It is anticipated that the existing inventory supplies will play a major role in restricting any increase in post-Covid-19 solar module prices during Q1 2020, which is estimated to increase to $0.25/W from $0.24/W in Q4 2019. Despite the gradual recovery in other industries, the lingering effect of production drops will see post-Covid-19 module prices at approximately $0.27/W in Q2 2020.
