China has proposed banning exports of selected high-efficiency perovskite and tandem solar manufacturing technologies, alongside new restrictions on advanced polysilicon, wafer and crystalline-silicon cell production processes. The proposed measures would cover 12 photovoltaic technologies, with public consultation open until Nov. 15.
Energy storage accounted for about one-quarter of CATL's third-quarter battery sales, while management said product mix and tax changes pressured profitability.
TrendForce said China's polysilicon inventories remained above 560,000 metric tons despite expected production cuts in October. Persistent oversupply and weak downstream demand continued to weigh on prices.
