01 / POLICY & TRADE

Policy & trade watch

United States - the India/Indonesia/Laos orders are signed, and the next Congress changes hands in January

AD/CVD duty orders signed November 4, effective November 9. The International Trade Commission formally notified Commerce of its final injury determination on November 2, and Commerce signed both orders on November 4; they publish in the Federal Register on November 9, 2026, with CBP cash deposits required from the date of publication. Countervailing deposit rates: India 126.09% for Mundra Solar entities and all others (adverse inferences); Indonesia 173.70% for PT Blue Sky Solar, 73.20% for PT REC Solar and all others; Laos 153.67% for Vietnam Sunergy, 82.03% for Solarspace Technology (Laos) and all others. Anti-dumping orders were issued in a companion notice, so combined cash deposits will be materially higher. Because the ITC and Commerce found critical circumstances for Indonesia, duties on Indonesian entries apply retroactively to entries on or after November 28, 2025. Assessment of provisional-measure entries runs back to the preliminary determination dates (February 26, 2026 for CVD; April 28, 2026 for AD).

US manufacturing keeps expanding underneath the tariff wall. First Solar opened the first phase of its Gaffney, South Carolina module plant on November 1: 1.7 GW of Series 6 Plus thin-film capacity on a USD 330m investment, doubling to 3.4 GW when phase two completes in mid-2027. The company pairs the plant with a USD 12.3bn nine-month order backlog. This is the demand the Section 232 measures were built to redirect - and it is arriving.

The midterms deliver Democratic majorities for the next Congress. AP reports that the incoming House and Senate majorities plan to promote clean energy as a way to lower bills. The new Congress takes office in January 2027. President Trump retains veto power, so legislation and any change to incentives will still require the relevant political agreement. The published import measures remain the basis for delivery planning.

Editorial read, not a fact: the two developments point in opposite directions - a friendlier legislature for renewable demand, an executive still committed to tariffs. Neither cancels the other. Planning US deliveries on the assumption that December 4 holds remains the prudent default.

Europe - Ireland prices long-duration; Italy and the UK adjust household support

Europe's supply-chain lobby now counts mounting and cables as strategic, not just modules. SolarPower Europe reported on November 3 that EU inverter manufacturing capacity now exceeds 95 GW, and used the figure to argue for a BOS industrial policy covering inverters, mounting structures and cables rather than cells and modules alone. No measure is in force - this is advocacy, not law - but it is a leading indicator of where local-content scoring and future support conditions are heading. Structural and electrical BOS sourced outside the EU should expect the same documentation burden modules already carry.

Ireland's regulator approves up to 500 MW of long-duration storage procurement. The CRU decision (welcomed by Energy Storage Ireland on November 5) creates a technology-neutral, service-based tender open to projects with at least four-hour import/export duration. Structure: a competitive tender with a revenue floor capped at the levelised cost of storage; revenues above the floor are shared 70:30 with consumers. Eligibility: minimum 20 MW for hybrid or 75 MW for standalone, maximum 100 MW, round-trip efficiency of at least 75%, tender weighted 50% cost / 30% impact / 20% connection method. Contract length is 10 years - ESI argues that is short against the UK's 25-year cap-and-floor and has asked for at least 15. The 500 MW is described in the decision as a ceiling, not a target, and ESI's own modelling puts the system need at 2 GW of 6-8 hour storage. For battery suppliers, this is a new revenue-model market: revenue-floor contracts reward low LCOS, i.e. high efficiency and high cycle life.

Italy's draft budget: EUR 1.2bn to buy down sub-1 MW solar. Per Il Sole 24 Ore (November 1), the 2026 budget bill allocates about EUR 1.2bn of capital support for sub-1 MW PV, bypassing auctions with direct incentives capped at 40% of eligible cost and a quota of roughly 3 GW. Disbursement is pencilled at EUR 800m in 2028 and EUR 200m in each of 2029-30. Bill stage - final size and thresholds may move.

UK budget: money for social housing solar, but the zero-VAT window is closing. The budget adds GBP 100m to the social housing fund supporting up to 57,000 PV-plus-storage installations this fiscal year, and creates a GBP 2bn Energy Wealth Fund under the National Wealth Fund. But the temporary zero VAT rate on energy-saving materials - currently covering residential PV and battery installs - ends March 31, 2027, reverting to the 5% reduced rate from April 1, 2027, and the Warm Homes plan was cut by GBP 1bn. Solar Energy UK called the package broadly positive while opposing the VAT reversion. Expect UK distributors to pull residential demand into Q1 2027.

HMRC VAT guidance

India - the storage money arrives with local-content strings

Cabinet approves INR 145bn of viability-gap funding for 92 GWh of grid storage. Approved November 4: 60 GWh of pumped hydro, 30 GWh of battery storage and 2 GWh of other technologies, targeting completion by FY2030-31, with an estimated total investment of INR 976bn. Funding is disbursed across FY2026-27 to FY2030-31 through competitive selection - and battery projects are subject to domestic-content requirements. India separately signalled on November 5 that distribution companies will be required to co-procure storage alongside renewable power, with rules targeted by March 2027; the power secretary noted roughly 11% of solar generation in the hottest months is being curtailed for lack of absorption. Demand signal: unambiguous. Market access: increasingly gated.

The components picture: CEEW maps India's import dependence.A CEEW study released November 5 sizes India's module component market (glass, frames, ribbons, encapsulants, backsheets, junction boxes) at USD 3.6bn in September 2026, projected to reach USD 7.8bn by March 2028. In FY26 China supplied 66% of India's solar glass imports and 70% of frames; India's anti-dumping duties on glass, frames and EVA run to 2029. The think tank recommends ALMM listing for components from January 2028 and extending DCR to components from January 2028-29 - recommendations, not policy, but they map exactly where Indian protectionism goes next. India's US-bound AD/CVD exposure is detailed in the US section above; non-DCR Indian module prices are already being cut to find other markets.

Indian cabinet announcement

South and Southeast Asia, Middle East

Bangladesh resets the landed-cost equation to almost zero. Under the Special Solar Power Ordinance 2026 and a companion renewable strategy, import duty on solar and battery equipment drops to 1.0% with full VAT exemption, net-metering buyback is set at Tk 10.50/kWh, and the official target is 3,000-4,000 MW of new rooftop solar before February 2027, backed by an OpEx model where third parties build on leased roofs. One of the few markets actively removing cost barriers - but remittance and letter-of-credit capacity remain the practical constraint on closing orders.

Egypt lifts its renewables target to 45% by 2028 and plans industrial solar at scale. President Sisi reviewed a plan on October 27 to raise renewables to 45% of the mix by 2028 (from 42% by 2030), and on November 1 the cabinet reviewed the Shams El-Senaa programme: about 1,000 MW of PV to supply roughly 7,000 factories, with local module assembly part of the package.

China - policy that reaches export desks

Five ministries put PV and storage into the national product carbon-footprint framework. The action plan for building key-product carbon footprint standards (2026-2028), issued November 2, lists solar, CSP and energy storage among the product categories getting national footprint standards - the first time the sector is covered by a unified Chinese framework rather than the current patchwork of French ECS, Italian EPD and third-party schemes. Not a compliance obligation yet, but it matters for exports: European procurement scoring (CBAM expansion discussions, French tenders) increasingly references verifiable footprint data, and once the Chinese standard is settled, buyers will start asking for it earlier and in more detail. Cell-to-module electricity intensity and green-power ratios are the data that take longest to assemble.

Europe's supply-chain lobby widens the lens to BOS. SolarPower Europe reported November 3 that European inverter manufacturing capacity now exceeds 95 GW and called for targeted support across inverters, mounting and cables - the BOS layer - not just cells and modules. The same week, China customs data show January-September inverter exports to the US of 2.42m units, down about 10% year-on-year, with export value down 3.5% - the US demand pull-back is already visible in trade data, independent of any new measure.

02 / PRICING

Pricing & supply chain

Polysilicon: quotes frozen, futures whipsawed, costs creeping up

Spot went nowhere; futures fell to a year-to-date low then bounced. For the week to November 6, N-type dense material was quoted at CNY 43/kg with granular at 41/kg and the market average around 40.5/kg - transaction activity thin, downstream still burning inventories, no large direct procurement. Mysteel's cost line moved against producers: average production cost rose to CNY 42.8/kg on higher electricity tariffs, leaving a per-kg loss of about CNY 2.3. On the exchange, the PS2612 contract fell to 34,050 CNY/t on November 2 (touching 33,685 intraday) before rebounding 3.59% to 35,360 CNY/t on November 5 - a technical bounce, with spot still commanding a premium over futures. Supply discipline continues: October output fell 8.68% month-on-month, November is guided at roughly 84 kt against monthly demand of about 90 kt, and the Silicon Industry Branch puts end-October industry inventory near 587 kt. Price discovery remains a stand-off between producer price floors and demand that does not need to chase.

Downstream: the sizes split - 183 slips, 210 holds, glass jumps

Cells: the first 183N cut of the season landed November 3.183.75mm TOPCon averaged CNY 0.295/W on November 3 (-1.56%), the first reduction in this format as distributed-segment demand softened, with TrendForce reading 0.28-0.29/W by November 5; 210R eased to about 0.315/W; 210N held 0.315-0.32/W on utility-scale year-end deliveries. Wafers softened where 210R demand cooled (183N around 0.94-0.98/pc), while modules did what they have done for a month: headline quotes steady at CNY 0.69-0.72/W with real transactions drifting to 0.63-0.68/W as manufacturers concede to hit annual shipment targets. Overseas: Indian DCR modules fell for a second straight week to USD 0.213-0.241/W while non-DCR sat at 0.134-0.142/W; Rotterdam duty-paid warehouse TOPCon held EUR 0.0983-0.1147/W.

Glass is the exception - again.2.0mm PV glass rose 9.52% on November 4 to CNY 11.5/m2 (3.2mm at 18.5/m2, +2.78%), extending the late-October climb, while DBM's module index ticked down (TOPCon 210 at 0.7013/W, -0.14%). Glass producers and module makers are still haggling over November contract prices. Lithium carbonate bounced off its lows to CNY 91,580/t on the futures close November 5 after media reports put spot near CNY 92,000.

Equipment pricing: the cost-push wave reaches inverters and storage

Huawei and Kehua led; the rest of the tier-one list followed. Huawei Digital Power's pricing letter (dated October 20, disclosed October 29) lifts residential and C&I PV-plus-storage and utility inverters by 5-15%, and grid-forming utility storage solutions including PCS by 5-10%; Kehua raised its full range 5-15% effective November 1. Kstar, Growatt, Inovance and Sungrow are reported on the same adjustment list. Stated drivers are copper, aluminium, silver, PCBs and memory costs; a structural adder is the 2% consumption tax on lithium batteries effective September 1, 2026 (4% from September 2027), worth roughly CNY 7-8m per GWh at cell prices. In a market where every other link is falling on weak demand, this is the one segment where waiting for a lower quote is probably the wrong strategy.

Sungrow's quarter shows the squeeze the hikes are responding to. Company investor-record disclosures (November 1): January-September storage shipments 41 GWh (+43% YoY, 17 GWh in Q3 alone), but Q3 storage gross margin fell to 21% from 34% in Q2 on lithium-price timing and price competition; revenue for the nine months still fell year-on-year on Middle East delivery timing. Guidance: 20+ GWh in Q4, 60+ GWh for the year, and shipments 'nearly doubling' next year. Volume up, margin down, price hikes out - the equipment makers are trying to convert scale back into price.

Chinese system and EPC prices keep grinding lower - a useful benchmark for 2027 quotes. January-September utility storage EPC awards averaged CNY 0.8447/Wh, down 9% on the prior period (Beijixing tally), and new lows keep appearing: a 200 MW / 800 MWh 4-hour EPC in Inner Mongolia's Wulanchabu drew candidate pricing around CNY 0.7444/Wh (November 4), and the 1 GW / 4 GWh Lingwu shared-storage package in Ningxia was contracted as equipment-plus-installation at CNY 3.64bn (~0.91/Wh including a 330 kV substation). A caveat that matters when benchmarking: EPC prices include civil works, grid connection and land, and cannot be compared with equipment-only system prices (roughly CNY 0.5-0.65/Wh).

China's installation engine is still the demand backstop. National Energy Administration data: 110.83 GW of new solar in January-September, down 54% year-on-year - but Q3 alone turned positive at +38% year-on-year, the first positive quarter of 2026. September module exports jumped 45% month-on-month to 22.13 GW and cell exports 79% to 14.01 GW, with Saudi Arabia taking 2.45 GW in the month. The export rush partly reflects restocking and year-end deliveries; treat the month-on-month spikes as timing, not a new trend line.

Global projects & deals

Chinese suppliers - overseas wins this week

CATL ships the first commercial 8-hour storage unit to Australia - against a 3 GW / 24 GWh pipeline. The 5.64 MWh EnerQB left for Quinbrook's Stanwell site in Queensland (announced November 3), the first commercial delivery of the 8-hour-and-longer product line built on LFP. The two companies have signed a framework covering a 3 GW / 24 GWh Australian long-duration project pipeline - a pipeline, not a firm order book, but the direction is what matters: Australian state policies increasingly mandate long-duration co-location, and cell demand scales linearly with hours.

Sungrow equipment at Hams Hall enters commercial operation. BW ESS announced on November 2 that phase one at Hams Hall in England's West Midlands had started commercial operation the previous week. The 350 MW / 1.243 GWh facility reached that milestone 20 days after energisation. BW ESS describes it as Europe's largest operating BESS by storage capacity. Phase two is planned to extend it to 400 MW / 1.424 GWh.

Sungrow into Pakistani industry: 15 MW / 30 MWh for a cement plant. Pioneer Cement told the Pakistan Stock Exchange on November 6 it signed with Pragmatic Engineering Solutions and Sungrow to supply and install a 15 MW / 30 MWh battery and 10 MW of additional solar at its Chenki plant in Khushab, completion due March 31, 2027 - the C&I storage-for-industry template now reaching South Asian manufacturers.

Jinko lands Kyrgyzstan's largest solar plant - all Flying Tiger 3.A 325 MW plant signed for full delivery of Jinko's Tiger Neo 3.0 (Flying Tiger 3) modules: company-stated production power up to 670 W and 24.8% efficiency, with a claimed LCOE advantage of more than 6% over BC - a vendor calculation, not third-party verified. In a hydropower-dominated grid (over 90%), the project is a diversification play.

JA Solar's C&I storage repeat-customer story in Bulgaria. The Sevlievo site runs a 0.75 MW / 1.566 MWh JAPlanet C&I unit against a 250 kWp PV array, trading the country's wide day-ahead spreads (EUR 157/MWh average daily spread in 2025, per the EC country report) - and the customer has now taken dozens of units across multiple projects, the kind of repeat ordering that signals the commercial storage arbitrage model is working in Southeast Europe.

Smaller wins worth knowing. Shuangdeng's 100 MW / 400 MWh plant with ACME in Rajasthan completed commissioning (reported November 2), non-recourse financed by an Indian bank club. CATL and its home-storage joint venture Ammox (XinNeng'an) signed a three-way MOU with Octopus Energy on November 3 for smart home storage across the UK, France and Spain - Ammox handles product development and system integration, CATL supplies cells and system technology, and Octopus brings the digital energy platform. EVE Energy signed a 1 GWh storage cooperation MOU with Australia's CleanPeak (October 29). FarEast Storage delivered a 5 MW / 10 MWh liquid-cooled system in Latvia (November 3). State Grid International signed a framework with Oman's Nama Holding on November 2 covering two 500 MW BESS at Duqm and Ibri III. JinkoStorage signed a 20 MWh trading-oriented project cluster in Germany (reported November 2). And Energy China International published a procurement tender for Morocco's Midelt phase 1 - 632.853 MWp PV plus 1,323.96 MWh of BESS, construction window November 30, 2026 to May 30, 2028 - a direct channel for cell, PCS and mounting suppliers into one of North Africa's largest hybrid packages.

Global project activity

ARRAY and Shoals agreed to merge - trackers and wiring become one company. The November 4 all-stock deal puts structural BOS (trackers, fixed-tilt, foundations) and electrical BOS (wiring harnesses, cable management, power delivery) under one roof: Shoals shareholders receive about 65% of the combined company, Shoals CEO Brandon Moss leads it, closing is expected in Q1 2027 subject to shareholder votes and antitrust clearance, and the pair targets more than USD 100m of annual adjusted EBITDA synergies within three years. Context matters: only about 20% of the projects both companies served in 2025-26 bought from both - the integration pitch is one design package, one warranty. Shoals Q3 revenue was USD 195.3m (+43.8%); ARRAY's order book hit a record USD 2.6bn. Buyers of trackers, cable management or eBOS should watch how open the combined company stays to mixed-vendor projects.

Trina Solar is selling control of the world's number-two tracker business. Shenzhen Nanshan Power (000037), a CNY 4.8bn-market-cap gas peaker operator, signed an intent agreement on October 30 to acquire 51-70% of TrinaTracker (Tianhe Kaituozhe PV Mounting, Changzhou) for cash and consolidate it. Wood Mackenzie's 2026 ranking places TrinaTracker second globally; the unit had delivered more than 43 GW across 70-plus countries and over 900 plants by end-2025, and Trina pioneered dual-continent mounting R&D and delivery centres in Europe and Asia. Trina's line is that it is bringing in a strategic partner; the market read is disposal of a non-core asset against a CNY 1.942bn nine-month net loss. Price, final stake and timetable are all open, and the transaction has not moved past letter of intent.

Tenders and awards across three continents.Türkiye awarded 785 MW across 11 projects in its YEKA GES-2026 round (November 4) - 44 bids from 19 companies, with a 20-year fixed tariff of EUR 0.0325/kWh after a 60-month free-market window. Belgium's Elia capacity-market auction granted roughly 1 GW to new battery projects (November 4), within about 2.4 GW awarded across all technologies. Australia's Victoria approved four utility batteries totalling about 1,335 MW on November 4 ahead of caretaker period, including European Energy's 600 MW Gippsland project and Potentia's 200 MW / 800 MWh Tragowell. India's NLC signed an LoI for 275 MW / 550 MWh in Gujarat at INR 231,989/MW monthly rent (November 4 reporting). And US tracker maker FTC Solar disclosed 239 MW of contracts with Tata Power Solar (118 MW, Karnataka) and Brookfield-backed Evren (121 MW, Andhra Pradesh) on November 4 - Western tracker suppliers still winning Indian utility scale.

FTC Solar's post-quarter order book: 925 MW in North America plus a 500 MW UK master supply agreement. In its November 4 Q3 release the US tracker maker disclosed a 750 MW North American contract running 2027-28, a 175 MW US award from a new customer, 118 MW with Tata Power Solar and 121 MW with Brookfield-backed Evren in India, and a collaboration plus master supply agreement with AGR Renewables in the UK targeting 500 MW of projects through 2028, of which 30 MW is already contracted. It also signed MoUs with six Australian materials suppliers to build local content. Contracted backlog stands at about USD 640m, and DNV validated an installation rate of 81 labour hours per MW - a number that now sells trackers about as hard as the tariff does.

Megawatt truck charging moves onto a German motorway: two 1,000 kW MCS terminals by mid-2027. Vianeo, ENGIE's EV charging brand, announced its agreement with the Rudolf Kempe group on November 4 to build at the Ansbach service area on the A6 - two MCS terminals at up to 1,000 kW each plus six CCS terminals, serving heavy trucks on the Rhine-Neckar to Nuremberg corridor. Vianeo invests, builds and operates, with commissioning targeted for mid-2027, and says about 50 commercial-vehicle sites are in development in Germany against a target of 1,000 heavy-duty terminals in Europe by 2030. Germany's federal trunk-road programme already awarded 124 rest areas in June 2026 for 836 terminals, 447 of them MCS - the tender pipeline for megawatt charging is now a schedule, not a pilot.

Commissioned and under construction. Croatia's first megawatt-scale independent battery opened at Sibenik: 60 MW / 120 MWh from NGEN and NextGrid Energy (ceremony November 4-5), about EUR 60m invested with up to EUR 19.8m from the Modernisation Fund and EUR 16.8m from the EBRD, already selling frequency services to HOPS. Ontario's Alectra brought three batteries totalling 80 MW / 320 MWh into service (November 6) under 20-year IESO contracts. Spain's Endesa and Masdar started three grid-forming LFP retrofits on existing PV plants - 60.16 MW / 120.34 MWh for EUR 25.2m (November 5) - while Italy's BNZ broke ground on 54 MW / 216 MWh of 4-hour storage in Lazio (November 5). Chile's Antofagasta region approved Grenergy's Elena 2 (566.58 MWp plus about 430 MW / 3,010 MWh) and SQM's 76.5 MWp plus 320 MWh on October 30, USD 688m combined - mining-adjacent long duration again. In Bulgaria, construction began at Tvarditsa, the first of three Tesla-partnered sites totalling more than 2,300 MWh and over EUR 350m (November 2).

Financing and factories. German developer Return closed EUR 835m of portfolio financing from Deutsche Bank and Rabobank for a pipeline targeting at least 1 GW per year from 2027; US developer rPlus secured a USD 450m revolving credit facility (November 4-5). Samsung SDI disclosed a storage order book above 60 GWh including framework agreements (November 3). And in a legal milestone for European cell supply, a Hungarian court finally rejected the challenge to CATL's Debrecen plant environmental permit on October 29 - clearing the 100 GWh, EUR 7.34bn factory that began cell trial production in September.

Technology & products

The world's largest liquid-air energy storage plant grid-connected in Qinghai. China Green Development's 60 MW / 600 MWh demonstration at Golmud (60 MW / 600 MWh per project imagery) went online October 30: minus-194-degree cryogenic air liquefaction, no geological constraints - unlike pumped hydro or salt-cavern CAES - and 100% domestically sourced core equipment, including the world's largest horizontally split centrifugal compressor and liquid expander. No published LCOS or round-trip figures yet; treat it as a demonstration, not a bid-worthy option. The signal is that the long-duration equipment chain (compressors, expanders, purification) now has utility-scale references.

First mandatory national-standard certifications for modules are landing. Aiko's ABC line became the first to pass certification under two of the three mandatory PV national standards (GB 47834/47835), with Trina in the first certificate batch (reported November 4). The standards take effect January 1, 2027 and set efficiency floors that block non-conforming modules from production and sale. For buyers: from next year, Chinese-sourced modules will carry a certification basis that is verifiable against a published national standard - worth adding to supplier qualification checklists now.

Weathering steel for PV mounting passed its technology review. Pangang's high-strength hot-rolled weathering steel for solar structures cleared a China Corrosion and Protection Society evaluation (reported November 2), with experts rating parts of the work internationally leading. The pitch is 25-year service in coastal and high-corrosion sites without re-galvanising cycles. It is a technology evaluation, not a cost dataset - but for mounting buyers in harsh environments, uncoated or lightly-coated weathering steel is a line item to price-test against hot-dip galvanized as supply tightens.

Charging hardware: a megawatt-class liquid-cooled hub with solar carport and storage attached. Southern Grid's new heavy-truck demonstration station in Kunming's Xundian county (November 3) pairs a 1,600 kW liquid-cooled charging stack (600 kW per gun, megawatt-class when paired) with a 46.8 kWp PV carport, 800 kWh of storage and 20 kW V2G - the full PV-carport-plus-storage-plus-charging package that European tender documents (e.g. Italy's Marche call) increasingly specify. Separately, Milence's fifth Belgian MCS hub opened at Temse - already covered in our Week 44 edition.

What this means for buyers

The week in one line

The week's structural moves landed squarely on the equipment a buyer actually specifies: two ownership changes in solar trackers (TrinaTracker's control stake, ARRAY-Shoals) and the first motorway-scale megawatt charging template in Germany - while the US tariff calendar (November 9 and December 4) and Chinese cost-driven price rises squeeze the same budgets from the other side.
