To our valued partners and solar installers worldwide,

In the dynamic solar industry, staying ahead of supply chain and cost variables is key to project success. We are reaching out today with an important market update and a critical deadline that may impact your procurement plans for the upcoming months.

The Market Outlook: Sustained Pressure on Aluminum Costs

As a manufacturer specializing in high-quality aluminum solar mounting systems, we closely monitor raw material trends. Current analysis from leading market observers indicates that the cost of aluminum, a primary component in our products, is expected to remain on an upward trajectory over the next quarter.

This trend is driven by a combination of factors, including robust demand from sectors like renewables and transportation, coupled with constrained supply growth. For solar installers, this translates into potential increases in the cost of key components like racking systems in the near future.

The Imminent Logistics Deadline: Chinese New Year 2026

Beyond material costs, timing is equally critical. The Chinese New Year holiday (beginning in February 2026) is a major national period where factories and ports in China will slow down or close for celebrations.

To ensure your FarSun solar mounting systems are manufactured, packed, and shipped before the holiday closures, guaranteeing seamless delivery for your spring projects, we strongly advise that all new orders for aluminum products are finalized and placed no later than January 20th, 2026. Please note that orders confirmed after this date will likely face shipping delays and cannot be guaranteed for pre-Chinese New Year dispatch.

Our Recommendation: Act Now to Lock in Value

Given this dual perspective of rising input costs and an approaching logistical cut-off, the most prudent step for your business is to advance your procurement plans.

1. Secure Current Pricing: Placing your order now helps protect your project margins against potential near-term price increases.

2. Guarantee Project Timelines: Meeting the January 20th deadline is the best way to ensure your racking arrives when you need it, avoiding potential delays of several weeks.

Your Action Plan

We encourage you to review your project pipeline for Q1 and Q2 2026. Reach out to your FarSun sales representative or our team directly at [CONTACT US] to discuss your requirements. We are here to help you finalize specifications and ensure your order is processed in time.

By planning ahead, we can work together to navigate market dynamics and keep your solar installations on track and on budget.
