During its performance update on August 28, JA Solar Technology revealed that it is keeping a close eye on base metal substitution technologies and has already formulated and set aside multiple technological routes. Notably, the silver-coated copper technology is presently at the pilot production phase. Nevertheless, given the prevailing silver market prices, its cost-benefit edge remains unclear, and the technical robustness still needs to be thoroughly tested. The company is committed to sustained investment in this area and will make a decision on whether to fully embrace this technology, contingent on future silver price movements and the level of technological advancement.
