Polysilicon price vs Carbon intensity of electricity generation in China
Polysilicon price (multi-month) and Carbon intensity of electricity generation (annual) in China. They are published at different intervals, so each is drawn on its own rather than matched period by period.

The series
Over time
China. Polysilicon price is published as multi-month figures and carbon intensity of electricity generation as annual ones, so they are drawn on separate charts, and no period is matched between them. Read each on its own.

Shared periods
Side by side
No period lines up: polysilicon price is multi-month and carbon intensity of electricity generation is annual. A month and a year are not the same measurement window, so no row pairs them.
Provenance
Where these numbers come from
Polysilicon price
Wholesale market price of dense-grade polysilicon, the raw material input for solar photovoltaic cell and module manufacturing.
