The price of polysilicon, the raw material used to make most solar panels, rose 1.3 percent last week, the first increase since February, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
The material’s average spot price was $23.20 a kilogram compared with $22.90 a week earlier, a survey by the London-based research group showed today. Polysilicon tumbled 62 percent in the past year on oversupply issues and is down from a February 2008 peak of $475.
