As global photovoltaic (PV) module prices rise sharply in late 2025 — driven by supply-chain tightening, raw-material cost inflation, and shifting trade policies — hardware suppliers for solar mounting and module installations are seeing renewed attention. Among them is Zhejiang Jiaxing Tuyue Import And Export Company Limited, a Chinese fastener and hardware producer specializing in solar and photovoltaic module screws for solar modules and PV mounting systems.
A recent industry report by Wood Mackenzie estimates that solar and storage equipment costs will increase by about 9 % in Q4 2025. This marks a sharp reversal of a multiyear downward price trend that had depressed module pricing globally.
Consolidation and production cuts in polysilicon — the key raw material for solar cells — have driven up upstream costs.
The removal or reduction of certain Chinese export incentives (e.g., VAT export rebates) has increased the landed cost of solar modules.
With modules becoming more expensive, project developers and installers are re-examining all parts of the “balance-of-system” (BOS) — including mounting hardware and fasteners — to safeguard margins and reliability.
At the same time, the global market for PV mounting systems remains strong. According to research from Mordor Intelligence, the global Solar PV Mounting Systems Market is estimated at USD 43.9 billion in 2025, with expectations to reach USD 55.1 billion by 2030. Lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum components dominate the market (over 70% of material share in 2024), but steel, galvanised iron, and specialty fasteners remain vital — especially for ground-mounted, utility-scale solar farms.
These dynamics make high-quality screws, bolts, and fasteners — like those offered by Tuyue — more critical than ever for ensuring structural integrity, long-term durability, and compliance with mounting standards in diverse climates and installations.
Tuyue positions itself as a precision hardware supplier with over 20 years of experience. Their product portfolio includes stainless-steel self-drilling screws, self-tapping screws, nuts, bolts, washers, and other fasteners for solar and photovoltaic module mounting.
The company reports a factory area of more than 16,000 m² and ships more than 800 containers annually — signalling significant capacity and export reach.
Their “Solar and Photovoltaic Module” product line is explicitly listed, which suggests they target solar mounting system manufacturers, EPC contractors, and panel installers who need reliable fasteners compliant with international standards.
In the context of rising module and mounting system prices, suppliers like Tuyue may see renewed demand — especially from buyers seeking to secure supply and avoid project delays. Additionally, as mounting systems shift toward lighter, corrosion-resistant materials (e.g. aluminum + stainless fasteners), specialized fasteners are becoming a critical component of the supply chain.
The past few years saw a global oversupply of solar modules and mounting equipment, which led to aggressive price competition and shrinking margins for many.
But 2025 appears to mark a structural turning point:
Production cuts upstream, rising raw-material costs, and altered fiscal incentives have reversed the price slide.
As module scarcity — especially in high-efficiency segments — looms, many PV project developers and installers are increasingly willing to pay a premium for reliable, compliant, and durable mounting hardware to avoid project delays or quality issues.
This appears to align with broader industry forecasts: mounting hardware and accessories demand is expected to grow steadily over the next five years as PV deployment scales up worldwide.
For fastener providers like Tuyue, this could translate into a favorable business environment — especially if they optimize production quality, comply with international standards, and offer stable supply to meet rising demand.
