💡 Market Insights from Matthew Xenakis, Senior Sales Manager at JA Solar:
The global module market is entering a new phase, with important shifts ahead.
1️⃣ Chinese policy changes & removal of export incentives
Module prices are expected to increase by around 9% in Q4 2025, following China’s decision to remove the 9% VAT export rebate.
This policy has long supported low export prices — its removal will likely lift global benchmark costs.
2️⃣ Gradual supply adjustment
Producers are taking a more measured approach to output, which could lead to tighter availability of high-efficiency modules such as TOPCon, especially as demand continues to rise.
3️⃣ Upstream material trends
Increase in solar glass and component costs are adding mild upward pressure on pricing — a natural correction after a long period of record lows.
⚡ Innovation at the forefront
JA Solar’s next-generation TOPCon modules deliver improved efficiency, lower degradation, and are complemented by a new BESS solution designed for reliable storage, grid stability, and long-term energy independence.
📈 As the market evolves, securing module supply early and advancing Ready-to-Build (RTB) projects becomes increasingly strategic.
