Germany is expected to lead the global PV energy storage market


According to the IHS study, it is expected that the global PV energy storage market is expected to increase from last year's $ 200 million by 2017 to $ 19 billion. Is expected to surge in the size of the storage market by Germany to lead the storage system through the introduction of photovoltaic subsidies, Germany has taken the lead in promoting the technology enabled.

Entered into force on May 1, it is expected that the subsidy will reduce the cost of PV 
grid connected inverter systems with storage twenty years, 10% less than the storage system. IHS is expected, which will result in Germany install about 2GWh the efficient storage installed capacity in the next five years. Market will increase to $ 19 billion in 2017. IHS PV analyst Sam Wilkinson (SamWilkinson), said: "As the domestic tariff is significantly more than the residential feed-in tariff rates, since the consumption for residential PV systems increased interest in maximizing the system's financial gains." 

Therefore, before the release of the 2012 subsidy, Germany 8mW photovoltaic systems have been installed storage The much-anticipated introduction of the subsidies will quickly be used to make the stored PV system life cycle cost is lower than the storage system The decline in subsidies will drive the cost of PV systems with storage. Overall, it is expected that Germany will drive to lead the global PV installed capacity of the storage system by 2017 up to 7GW, and Germany to encourage other countries to do likewise, especially when the feed-in tariff and other wind turbine inverter subsidies started to decrease.

Prices began to decline because of the technology, it is expected that the UK will start around 2014 energy storage to take off.
Wilkinson said: "We do expect other countries will follow the example of Germany, to take a similar subsidy program to promote the use of photovoltaic energy storage, in particular, to promote self-consumption and grid stability." In some markets even without subsidies, storage is a attractive proposition and residential PV systems, such as the United Kingdom, the UK market in 2014 is expected to start rapid development, it is expected that the battery prices have fallen sharply, making the photovoltaic storage to be financially viable. "

The report predicts that larger PV systems will begin to bring greater pressure due to the growing deployment of PV to the grid system, combined with storage technology. With storage utility-scale PV systems is expected by 2017 year-on-year growth of more than 2GW, Asia and the Americas led this market.

PV module revenue will rise to $ 32 billion in 2017


Components of the solar photovoltaic industry revenue is expected in 2013 will drop 20% to $ 20.5 billion, down from $ 25.5 billion in 2012. In 2013 and 2014 earnings will be lower than the level of $ 25.5 billion in 2012. According to NPD Solarbuzz 2013 Marketbuzz report, photovoltaic modules income in 2017 is expected to reach $ 32 billion.

Confidence in the solar photovoltaic industry in 2012 was a serious blow, almost 50% decline in the average selling price of PV modules, end-market demand increased by only 5%. Such extreme market supply and demand do not match, seriously affected the interests of the china solar panel photovoltaic industry. Potential market capacity of 45 GW in 2010 and 2011, and the terminal market in 2012 only reached 29 GW. The potential market supply capacity is much higher than the market demand.

"In 2012, the manufacturing overcapacity and a decline in revenues for the photovoltaic industry are not severely affected, but the effect will diffuse to 2013," the NPD Solarbuzz chief analyst Michael Barker says, "some listed PV companies stock market value has fallen to close to the delisting level, disclosed in quarterly operating loss of hundreds of millions of dollars, a large number of manufacturers to file for bankruptcy, forecast solar photovoltaic industry, how and when it will rebound to the level of profitability for all industry participants to , has become the order of the day. "

The NPD Solarbuzz forecast to 2014 solar power inverter photovoltaic manufacturing industry will further consolidate market share with the opportunity to seize the initiative. The average selling price of the components will continue to decline, but the decline will not be like the past two years so fast. This will provide an opportunity to take cost-cutting measures for the leading component suppliers, to create an enabling environment to prepare for the end-market demand to achieve 46 GW in 2015.

"Survive the recession phase in 2013 and 2014, is the goal of all solar PV manufacturers," Buck said. "Component suppliers who take the lead in achieving a profitable business model, whoever will become the leader in the market by 2015, an industry that they can expect strong growth and the potential gains will re-ignite confidence in PV manufacturers will lead to further investment in new capacity and manufacturing a new generation of technology products.

Austria starts photovoltaic power plant subsidy mechanism


Austria on April 12 to start the subsidy mechanism for photovoltaic power plants. Austria, subsidies total budget of 36 million euros, is expected to develop 24,000 total installed capacity of 115 megawatts of solar power plants. It is reported that the roof or ground-mounted photovoltaic power plants per kWp obtained a subsidy of 300 euros, building integrated photovoltaic system will receive a subsidy of 400 euros per kWP to. The amount of subsidies will be paid in the Climate Energy Fund under the framework of. However, the current round of subsidies only apply to installed capacity equal to or less than 5kW photovoltaic power plants, and only privately held.

Another rule is registered, the photovoltaic how to make solar panels power plant should be completed within 12 weeks. Only upon presentation of evidence to be completed within the prescribed period, the power station in order to obtain subsidies. Registration and submission, as of the date of November 30, 2013.
Registration site, said the project started within the first day and a half, more than 841 photovoltaic power plant applications filed a total subsidy of up to € 1,260,000. The Web site says the number of projects the light of the current round of subsidy mechanism will cover up to 2400, so there was no need to rush to start the submission process.

Austrian photovoltaic Federal Association said Hans Kronberger, 2012, Austria's new PV installed capacity of 230 MW, the cumulative installed capacity to 415 MW. In addition, the 2013 has a total installed capacity of 140 MW project is approved. In addition to the few companies actually expand production as 2013, China Sunergy year in the strategy of cost reduction and improve the conversion efficiency by leaps and bounds.

Management on a conference call that the fourth quarter average conversion efficiency of QSAR battery is maintained at 19%, but 19.7% in real terms in the laboratory. QSAR production line is said to have been upgraded to accommodate its "QSARII" china solar panel mass production in January this year in the fourth quarter. At the end of March, the company said its QSARII average efficiency of production lines up to a new record of 19.2%, the highest efficiency is in fact more than 20%. Management pointed out that it is the QSARII production line the average efficiency of 19.5% as the 2013 target.

The fourth quarter of 2012, China Sunergy solar cells and modules switching costs $ 0.15 per watt and $ 0.20, $ 0.23 and $ 0.27 in the same period last year fell by 35% and 26% respectively. Management has made the goal of reducing costs by mid-2013, including cell and module switching costs were reduced to $ 0.13 and $ 0.18 per watt. In addition to the production efficiency, optimize the capacity utilization of the global supply chain contribute to the further decline of the 2013 cost.

Sunergy the first quarter of 2013, total shipments target of 100MW to 110MW. Is expected that the first quarter of 2013 with the fourth quarter of 2012, gross profit margin remained at a similar level. The company noted that annual shipments of about 20% from its PV project business.

The Sunergy expected this year module shipments increased by more than 50%


Sunergy (China Sunergy, NASDAQ: CSUN) of PV modules this year, Europe will continue to become the company's largest single market, the European Commission before the end of the anti-dumping investigation, a large number of other component manufacturers selectively withdraw from the European Union countries. Sunergy European attention and determination in Turkey to set up a joint venture solar cell and module assembly plant. Management on a conference call to discuss fourth quarter 2012 financial results that it expects 2013 module shipments of 550MW to 600MW, of which Europe accounted for 60%.

The management said the factory in Turkey to act as a buffer against the United States last year imposed anti-dumping ruling on Chinese-made solar cells, and may impose fines will be announced in early June 2013. Obviously, the plant can be used as a buffer to resist mandatory fine of future elsewhere in the world. The company reiterated its first 120MW components in assembly line will be put into operation in January 2013, while its first solar controller production line (100MW) is expected to be put into use in May 2013. Sunergy will become the first in Europe to establish a solar cell and module assembly line manufacturers.

However, Yuhui Solar report will be third-party manufacturers outsource up to 400MW of components to meet customer demand in Europe. Sunergy also plans to further expand the production of components in Turkey. The management said that July will be set up in the factory, the other a 180MW module production line, so that the components rated output at close to 400MW, to become Europe's largest manufacturers. The most notable is that Sunergy will the European factories as a springboard to support the the downstream photovoltaic project business in Turkey and its partners and other European countries.

Capital expenditure required to build a huge role in the European PV market is surprisingly low. The management said in a conference call, total capital expenditure of only $ 44.3 million in 2012, mainly assigned to its highly efficient the QSAR solar panels cost R & D China construction of the new R & D facilities, rather than the Turkish factory. Management said they meet any possible anti-dumping regulations, compared to its imports from Taiwan solar cell module production, solar cell production in Turkey.

Although until full production is expected to complete cost accounting, but the overall cost of production compared with the equivalent cost will be slightly higher. Sunergy reports 2012 fourth-quarter revenues of $ 54.4 million, down 8.6% compared to the third quarter of 2012 (Click to view PV-Tech previously reported). The company said this was mainly due to the quarter year-on-year lower shipments and lower average selling prices. Management noted that the fourth quarter average selling price fell to $ 0.64 per watt, $ 0.71 from the previous quarter fell nearly 10%.

The fourth quarter of total shipments for 78.4MW Germany shipments accounted for the dominant, accounting for 29% of total revenue in the quarter. Italy is the second largest market in the fourth quarter, 12.3% of the total revenue, followed by France (11.2%). China Sunergy to expand its regional footprint, management pointed out that the United Kingdom and Japan's share of income in the current quarter increase in the share. The company reported fourth-quarter loss of $ 2 million, the gross profit margin was a negative 3.7%, gross profit margin was 0.7% in the third quarter of 2012.

Sunergy report, total revenue in 2012 fell sharply, a decline of 48.3%, to $ 566.3 million in 2011, fell to only $ 292.7 million in 2012. The company reported total shipments of 391MW, down 7.0% over the previous year 420.3MW. Module shipments of 379MW, 2012 accounted for 96.9% of the total shipments.
Following this year in the United States after the Chinese PV manufacturers, Sunergy report, a total loss of 2012 and a net loss. The total loss was $ 1.2 million, and the gross profit margin was a negative 0.4%. The company reported a net loss of $ 133.6 million, net profit margin was negative 45.6%.

Solve the problem of "abandoning power solar energy policy turn


According to global market research agency Trend Force 's research department Energy Trend Silver Member Report, 2013 solar demand of about 4.5-6GW demand, coupled with the 2012 "Golden Sun" large-scale power plants as well as the western released , the overall goal of grid capacity of approximately 10GW, but not the actual needs of the supply chain to estimate China's solar market this year will not be able to schedule digestion 10GW supply, but to the actual needs of the global point of view, China is still the world's top three solar markets in the world, accounting for about 17% of the global market.

Trend Force said that 2013 is the year of the rise of the Asian solar market, in addition to Japan, India, Southeast Asia and emerging countries, China has the ability to digest a lot of demand, and compared to Germany, Italy and other European countries, has the potential to create more needs, so China's policy change will be the key to the left and right global supply and demand market.

Solar installation requirements from large-scale solar controller power plants, photovoltaic building projects, Golden Sun demonstration project-based, three policies to create demand of about 12GW, but the actual amount of grid is not as good as expected, mainly due to addition to the government-approved projects focus on In the second half of the year, the second half of the year by the climatic factors affecting the construction, the most important is related to grid standards, financial subsidies in the fourth quarter of last year before being released, reduced investor confidence. And had hoped that the next round of investment projects by the system subsidy funds enterprises, but also due to network delay less than the electricity subsidies received, resulting in the overall market and network as well as the construction speed delays.

The Chinese government in order to solve the system is installed but not grid-abandoned power, decided to cancel the "Golden Sun" program for system installation grants to promote the effectiveness of the solar power system, but comprehensive way through the power acquired in 2013 years will be the large western power plants and distributed systems as a development spindle. On the other hand, in order to clear to fill mppt solar charge controller installations in the past financial gap, the Chinese Ministry of Finance issued "Notice on additional grant funds set aside renewable energy tariff at the end of March, including solar power capital of 2.43 billion yuan, accounting for all renewable energy funds of 16%.

Trend Force said that 2012 be regarded as the first large-scale goals to improve the construction of solar energy systems, there are a number of procedural issues to be resolved in 2013 with the central policy, local governments, power companies supporting continued to mature, the grid is expected to reach past record. In addition to the demand side, the market expects the Chinese government can have more dwell On the supply side, contains the promulgation of industry access conditions to encourage the restructuring of corporate mergers and acquisitions, reducing the intervention of local government funds in accordance with the market mechanism to allocate from the supply and demand sides two-pronged approach will it be possible for the global solar industry out of the shadows as soon as possible.

PV industry in recent fueled by favorable


Recent domestic photovoltaic industry fueled by favorable. A few days ago, the Ministry officials, the Ministry of Industry, together with other departments to develop support for the photovoltaic industry policy. Accordingly, some analysts believe the bottom of the domestic photovoltaic industry has come. Recent speculation among the most popular topic in the capital market, Buffett will Suntech Note-owned by the concern of the industry. According to media reports, Warren Buffett's MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company has trotted out the "olive branch" to Suntech, said interest in the acquisition of Suntech.

Suntech's vice president Gong into the school have given ambiguous reply, hereinafter referred to as "may, might, which makes bogged down in the the bankruptcy quagmire of Suntech power the new turn. At the same time, the EU PV industry "dual" surprise. It is understood that recently, hundreds of European PV companies have jointly submitted to the European Commission the open letter of opposition to the EU "double reverse" punish the Chinese PV companies.

Some analysts believe that the European PV companies to boycott EU sanctions against the behavior of the Chinese PV companies, might be a moderating role in the EU's final ruling. However, the domestic photovoltaic industry is the greatest good, to than supportive policies. In the recently held "China's first Electronic Information Expo", the Ministry of Industry officials, most of the domestic photovoltaic enterprises are at a loss, the Ministry is working with relevant departments to develop support the views of the Photovoltaic Panels  industry.

Market speculation, support policies will cover the subsidies, technological innovation, the partition tariff access threshold. Which is expected to become one of the first policies introduced by the access threshold. In this regard, some analysts said, the access threshold introduced will help enterprises to increase investment in innovation, eliminate backward production capacity.

It is understood that, due to the frequent release of good news, the industry's confidence in the bottom of the domestic photovoltaic charge controller industry comes gradually clear. A photovoltaic analysts said, "To be sure, the second half of the year be better than last year, in good condition, still the greatest expectations of the start of the domestic market." In fact, from the polysilicon price trend, the domestic photovoltaic industry may also wish to stabilize the image. According to data released by the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, by the end of December 2012, the domestic polysilicon has bottomed. Since March of this year, the price of polysilicon by the end of December 2012, 115,000 yuan / ton, up to March 2013, 142,600 yuan / ton, an increase of 24%.

Gone up at the same time, the domestic photovoltaic enterprises orders also improved significantly. A few days ago, JinkoSolar insiders interviewed by the media, frankly, this year, the market demand is strong, especially in the first half, orders not worry. Polysilicon prices, corporate orders increased, the domestic photovoltaic industry began to stir, and have begun to plan the resumption of production. Back in early March, four Chuanrui had external sources, the company has been the resumption of production plans. Recently, the vice president of China Metallurgical TRAINING OF revealed this month, will resume production of polysilicon project. In addition, according to the Steel Union Learn LDK Solar photovoltaic giant also recently developed a recruitment plan for 1200.

The photovoltaic industry boom warmer too early


Buffett bargain-hunting Suntech photovoltaic power generation projects VAT rate will be lowered to 50%, raised to 8.5%. "," 1000 European photovoltaic products require the EU to abandon impose punitive tariffs on Chinese solar companies "," US-listed Chinese PV collective stock rose "... the good news sublimation stimulate the enthusiasm of investors in the A-share Lungi Shares -3.30% funding research report, ST ultra Day [4.90% funding research report] appeared a rare daily limit phenomenon. Hunters photovoltaic business opportunities come?

Since the beginning of this year, China, the EU, Japan and some emerging market countries, solid demand for solar inverter manufacturers systems, leading to PV product prices have rebounded since January, such as 156mm x 156mm polycrystalline silicon chip prices from the beginning of the year an average of $ .807 / piece rose to of $ .911 / piece 156mm x 156mm monocrystalline silicon chip by the beginning of the year $ 1.145 / piece rose to $ 1.221 / piece. By Japan, the United Kingdom and other countries actively stocking impact, sunflower [2.82% funding research report], Oriental Sunrise [0.84% ​​funding research report] component manufacturers operating rate of the first quarter of this year, a slight increase from the company released quarter results notice situation, to achieve profitability increase significantly exceeded market expectations.

However, despite the PV product prices rebound, but the current price still can not support the resumption of production of most businesses, especially overseas polysilicon enterprises in the EU under the shadow of anti-dumping will continue to suppress the enthusiasm of the domestic manufacturers, Ministry of Industry officials said that more than 85% of the domestic polysilicon production enterprises have ceased production, most of the enterprises at a loss. At the same time, the risk of precarious debt crisis intensified, to the once "Wuxi card," Suntech on behalf of the leading PV grid connected inverter companies are facing the risk of bankruptcy twice been prompted by the United States Exchange delisting risk, and LDK is facing bankruptcy situation. Data show that the domestic component companies listed overseas, asset-liability ratio close to 80%, asset-liability ratio of the component companies in the domestic market is also close to 60%.

"The new energy stocks rose only short-term speculation." Guotai Junan analyst HouWenTao to the "Red Week" reporters said. He believes that the supply and demand situation of the photovoltaic industry, the fundamentals have not improved markedly, although this year the prices of goods to rebound, but overall is still hovering at the bottom, to say really warmed up too early to say.
The EU dual case canceled or purely a dream

More than 1000 PV companies in Europe to impose punitive tariffs on Chinese solar companies asked the European Commission to give up. " Recently, rumors about EU anti-sanctions will be canceled to boost the domestic photovoltaic business confidence. "If the European Commission has adopted the requirements of the abolition of the dual anti-sanctions, PV companies in China will usher in the second newborn Europe shrinking share of exports is expected to be picked up again, the otherwise formal ruling settled the bankrupt enterprises will also increase. A Insiders told reporters.

However, it seems that there are some domestic photovoltaic enterprises do not value the power of the EU anti-sanctions, such as the chairman of Trina Solar said in an interview, despite the unfavorable factors such as the European Union on China PV industry "double reverse" survey impact, but with China, Japan and other emerging market demand continues to increase, the overall situation of the industry this year will be better than last year.



The UK's new PV installed capacity of 350MW in 2013 Q1


And the UK solar industry optimistic projections, the United Kingdom has completed at least 350MW of PV installed capacity in Q1 2013. The Brumberg Finance: including several large ground-based photovoltaic systems, before they FIT FIT cuts subsidies to take advantage of the higher FIT subsidies.

2013 Q1 photovoltaic installed capacity of 350MW UK has two separate subsidy program, small-scale photovoltaic systems FIT subsidies and large-scale systems ROC mechanism. The ROC subsidies from the beginning of this month will be reduced, FIT will also be lower in the May 1. According to reports: ROC from April 1, from 2 to 1.6, which will lead to a series of intense activity in the UK utility-scale how to make solar panels industry, so intense activities. The analysis is expected to demand from January to March will be more than 0.5GW.

However, lowering RO level and not intimidated by solar developers, but a large number from a large number of pipeline projects, these projects RO rating of 1.6. Like the German ibvogt solar developers has plans two new large-scale solar projects in the UK and Chinese solar manufacturers Hanwha company plans to establish a joint venture company. However, the solar industry has been forced on the recent level of Chinese how to build solar panels products expressed concern about the issue. The China solar modules has led to the price of PV modules rose to the level of ROC to provide funds to build the project can not

Small solar panels china photovoltaic system in the United Kingdom continues to recover, this part of the market growth rate slow down FIT subsidies. DECC in March installed the latest figures show that: the installed capacity of more than 50KW photovoltaic system a week more than 2000, which is 61% higher than the January average weekly installation of a digital. BNEF: United Kingdom 2012 new PV capacity of 800MW, a lot of installed capacity from the rooftop PV system.
