Starting from Solar-Grade Polysilicon, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Solar-Grade Polysilicon →Stands to benefitChina accounts for 93.5% of the input's supply in the graph, so added Nigerian solar manufacturing demand is likely to benefit Chinese polysilicon suppliers most.
71% confidenceSolar-Grade Polysilicon →Stands to benefitTongwei Co., Ltd.600438.SS
Tongwei is a major polysilicon supplier with a 26% share, so higher solar manufacturing activity should increase demand for its output.

Solar Cover Glass (Low-Iron Float Glass for PV Modules) →Stands to benefitMore domestic solar manufacturing capacity raises demand for low-iron float glass, and Xinyi is the largest listed supplier here at 34% share with long replacement lead time.
78% confidenceSolar Cover Glass (Low-Iron Float Glass for PV Modules) →Stands to benefitHigher PV module production should lift demand for this glass supplier, which has an 18% share of the input market and long lead times to replace.

Flat Glass Group Co., Ltd. →Prices riseSolar Cover Glass (Low-Iron Float Glass for PV Modules)
Adding domestic solar manufacturing capacity should raise demand for PV-module cover glass, and Flat Glass Group supplies 18% of that input with a 24-month replacement horizon, so the input is likely to tighten and get pricier.
74% confidenceNSG Group (Pilkington) →Prices riseSolar Cover Glass (Low-Iron Float Glass for PV Modules)
Building more domestic solar manufacturing should raise demand for PV-module cover glass, putting upward price pressure on this input; NSG's 8% share and 18-month replacement lead time make the effect moderate.
