Zhou’s view of the power equipment industry: Recently, due to the maintenance of two silicon material manufacturers in China, the demand for crystal drawing materials remained high, resulting in the silicon material still in short supply in April. The epidemic situation in China and the obstruction of logistics transportation still have a certain impact on the production and delivery of silicon material enterprises. The operating rate of existing and new silicon wafer production capacity has remained relatively high. Since April, the prices of silicon wafer leaders and battery chip leaders have increased one after another, driving the price of polycrystalline silicon in China to continue to rise slightly in the past week. At present, there is a strong demand for auxiliary materials such as photovoltaic module adhesive film, and the price of auxiliary materials is expected to rise in the near future. In terms of export, according to gaixi consulting, in the first quarter of 2022, the cumulative export of modules was about 41.3gw, with a year-on-year increase of about 108.5%. Among them, the export of modules in March was about 14.5gw, with a year-on-year increase of about 85%. Under the background of maintaining the rising price trend of the photovoltaic industry chain, the overseas demand for modules remained booming and the acceptance of high-priced modules was high, especially China’s exports to the top ten European countries, Brazil and India were the most significant, The export of 2022q1 components increased by about 137.1%, 99.6% and 373.3% respectively year-on-year. In the context of rising prices in the industrial chain and strong overseas demand, it is suggested to pay attention to enterprises whose performance is expected to exceed expectations: Tongwei Co.Ltd(600438) ( Tongwei Co.Ltd(600438) ) and Tbea Co.Ltd(600089) ( Tbea Co.Ltd(600089) ) benefiting from the high silicon price; The demand for components outside China remains strong, benefiting from the leading adhesive film leader Hangzhou First Applied Material Co.Ltd(603806) ( Hangzhou First Applied Material Co.Ltd(603806) ) with both the volume and price of adhesive film.
Risk warning: the intensification of the epidemic in China will affect the logistics and transportation; The new supply of silicon material is less than expected, resulting in the risk of price rise; The weakening of component export demand leads to the risk that the demand for auxiliary materials is lower than expected.
