Solar Market in Turmoil: Silicon Wafer Costs Soar as Myanmar Earthquake Hits Supply

April 3, 2024 – The solar industry is reeling from a sudden 6.67% price surge in N-type silicon wafers after an earthquake in Myanmar disrupted key supply routes. The China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association reported significant price jumps, with N-type G12R wafers reaching 1.54 RMB per piece.

Amid the crisis, Yoha Solar distinguishes itself by maintaining affordable, high-quality solar production lines, shielding customers from extreme price volatility. Experts suggest that while short-term disruptions are inevitable, resilient suppliers like Yoha Solar will help stabilize the market.


In the event of supply chain disruptions, Yoha Solar's high-precision laser cutting machines have been widely praised by solar manufacturers for their excellent precision, energy efficiency, and low maintenance costs.
