Huawei plans 5% to 15% price increases for solar, storage equipment

Huawei Digital Power, the energy technology business unit of Chinese technology group Huawei, has notified customers of planned price increases of 5% to 15% across several solar and energy storage product lines.

In a customer notice dated Oct. 20 and reported by Chinese industry media on Oct. 29, the company outlined proposed increases of 5% to 15% for residential solar-plus-storage products, commercial and industrial (C&I) systems, and utility-scale PV inverters and related equipment. Grid-forming utility-scale energy storage solutions, including power conversion systems (PCS), face smaller increases of 5% to 10%.

Huawei Digital Power said it had absorbed some of the additional manufacturing costs through internal efficiency measures but could no longer maintain existing prices without compromising product quality, delivery reliability or service commitments.

The company did not specify an implementation date, saying price adjustments would be negotiated individually with customers.

Huawei attributed the planned increases to rising prices for commodities, printed circuit boards (PCBs) and memory components since 2025. Copper is widely used in power electronics equipment, including busbars, cables, magnetic components and transformers, while PCBs and semiconductors are essential to inverter control and power conversion systems.

Copper prices have risen sharply in 2026. London Metal Exchange cash copper prices exceeded $14,700 per metric ton in mid-October, according to market data compiled by the International Copper Association Australia. Higher prices and tighter supplies of electronic components have added to procurement pressures for equipment manufacturers.

Huawei Digital Power is the latest in a series of Chinese inverter and energy storage equipment suppliers to announce price increases since August.
