Big Challenge of Solar Industry: Increasing Material Prices and Tense Shipping
PV Info Link reported on September 14th, 2021, that China's Yunnan Provincial Development and Reform Commission issued a dualcontrols policy about the production control in the industrial silicon industry to ensure the monthly production of industrial silicon from September to December is no higher than 10% of August's output (i.e.90%production cut). The silicon production cut will inevitably result in the production cut-down of solar module capacity in whole China.

Additionally, the coming traditional peak season of shipping before Christmas, coupled with booking difficulties, serious port congestion, unstable shipping schedule, the global sea shipping situation is becoming more tense together with continuously increased shipping prices.
Underthis special situation, more and more solar module buyers, investors and distributors are signing contracts from August to lock the module prices and hope to catch the earliest shipping time. Since early of August, UniteSol has taken very aggressive measures to control the manufacturing cost, for the purpose to provide more financial support to its global partners.
