That time seems to be now! Another prediction, quite a few solar power producers will disappear from the market, same as many Chinese car producers. Make sure to buy and invest in the right sustainable brand! I just got a heads up from my Solar Power company today, if I wanted more batteries in near future, this was the time right now, but he also expected price to go down after the marked had adjusted to new terms.

Solar power system prices are rising in 2026

, breaking a long-term downward trend, with module prices expected to increase by roughly 10% to 30% due to tightened supply, increased manufacturing costs in China, and removal of export incentives. This surge is driven by Chinese firms restructuring to exit loss-making production

China is phasing out subsidies and tax rebates for solar power manufacturers and projects to curb overcapacity, combat a severe price war, and reduce fiscal pressure

. Key measures include removing value-added tax rebates for solar products and ending subsidies for new projects, with many changes finalized or expected to take full effect by January 1, 2027

Have you bought a solar system yet?

Prices are expected to rise over the next few months, before possibly falling again later. But of course, that depends on whether trade tensions de-escalate or escalate further, especially with the situation involving the USA, Israel, and Iran, or any other threats linked to the same crisis.

A Reuters report supports the general idea: China’s solar exports surged in March 2026 partly because buyers moved early before China ended export tax refunds on April 1, while energy-security concerns and global tensions also pushed demand higher.

China’s cleantech exports may also show buyers moving early because they expect prices, tariffs, or energy costs to rise.

But even with that included, the bigger picture is still clear: solar, batteries and EVs are now moving at massive scale from China into the world market.

This is not only about climate policy anymore, but also price, energy security, and dependency.

Good tool to see where the future supply chain is actually coming from.

Reuters also reported that China’s solar export spike in March 2026 was linked partly to buyers moving before China ended export tax refunds on April 1, together with energy-security concerns and lower production costs.
