Global preparing for photovoltaic future

November 7, 2012, the United States International Trade Commission finds that crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells and modules imported from China, substantial damage to related industries in the United States, will be made ​​of crystalline silicon PV cells and modules from 18.32 to 249.96 percent levy anti-dumpingtax, and 14.78 to 15.97 percent countervailing duty. Then, the EU announced on November 8 that they had to start countervailing duty investigations on imports from the Chinese PV companies wafers, cells, modules, the anti-dumping investigation of Chinese PV products early going. Fact, affected by the economic crisis, weak global demand for solar panel energy products, raw materials prices have fallen sharply, the Chinese photovoltaic products exports have fallen sharply in the first half, down 31.49 percent compared with 2011. (According to the 2012 China International Photovoltaic Industry Development Forum released the news that)

This is a phenomenon exports decline for the first time in six years, and now there have been two huge markets in Europe and the United States trade protection "ban" on a large number of China's photovoltaic industry chain manufacturers of photovoltaic products already growing cold winter, without other EU arbitration established, the majority of the Chinese PV companies have seen the advent of a "disaster". Li Junfeng, vice chairman of the China Renewable Energy Society, believes that the Chinese PV industry hard times may not be too short, shuffling or take 3-5 years. The layout of the photovoltaic industry in the world, China is a big country of the PV module processing, the EU is the largest market for PV, the United States is the rapid development of the

PV market, the European Union, the United States is the largest exporter of polysilicon raw materials and photovoltaic devices. Today, world economic downturn prompted the rise of trade protectionism, look PV is the trade protection war started in the first battlefield, the domestic point of view, our approach for the photovoltaic industry or multiple industries in China will transition adjustment method play a certain role in the demonstration. The photovoltaic industry is now an unprecedented crisis in the industry, the development of photovoltaic and can not be halted, and how to compete with other countries in the long-term development of photovoltaic road, "dual" detonated the many ills has emerged, which we shall not reflection, photovoltaic, how to "survivor."

"Eleventh Five-Year" period, the photovoltaic industry has been put on the aura of strategic emerging industries, but in the current situation, China's PV industry still could not escape the nature of the processing of raw materials. The huge capacity mainly in the profits of low-cost photovoltaic modules link, while 90% of the market overseas, which makes the PV solar cell industry in China has been in the abnormal development of the state. The emergence of this trade war, look at the bright side, will produce Forced effect, forcing the elimination of backward production capacity of domestic photovoltaic enterprises (photovoltaic devices) to the upstream and downstream (PV power plant operators) to expand and promote the science and technology of the domestic photovoltaic enterprises innovation and enhance the competitiveness of the industry. "Double reverse but is a fuse." This is the reaction of the reporter to interview a number of PV practitioners for the Europe and the United States "dual" action, and most of them have that photovoltaic own problem has existed for a long time, the double reverse But the problems of the industry as a whole is to make ahead of time exposed.
