Home using solar power to make the finish can be sold to the state


According to documents released yesterday by the National Grid, the people at home in the future installation of solar power generation device, not only to give their own power supply, but also sold to the national grid.

Photovoltaic industry, "winter", from the United States and the European Union in 2012 has all the exports to China PV flexible solar panels and components, anti-dumping, anti-subsidy investigations. The latest news is that the matching rules of the State Council executive meeting held at the end of 2012 the industry eagerly looked forward to the photovoltaic industry, the first quarter of this year, will be published one core access conditions and subsidy standards.

As another core policy, drafted by the Ministry of Industry and the solar photovoltaic industry access conditions "draft recently will also be released. The momentum is gradually emerging photovoltaic 
mppt charge controller industry tended to be normal, and after the Spring Festival holiday, as the main raw material of the PV industry, polysilicon prices rise.Social business monitoring data show that from January 1 to February 26, more than 50 days polysilicon factory price rose to 137,000 yuan from 119,000 yuan / ton / ton, year increase of 15.1%. 

In November 2012, the Henan Business Daily reporter interviewed E Tesi Yangguan Power Group Global Senior Marketing Director Zhang ice, she predicted, the production capacity now on the decline, while domestic demand is on the rise, and by the end of 2013, the photovoltaic industry is likely to become normal . At that time, the sheets containing ice are worried about the adverse factors, one of which is with the national grid, the grid is not smooth, the domestic market can not be opened.

National Grid official microblogging revealed yesterday morning, the State Grid Corporation in Beijing held a press conference to promote distributed power grid opinions "for the release of" well distributed power grid service work, proposed in 2015, our distribution The mppt solar charge controller power will reach 10 million kilowatts, will be built 100 new energy demonstration city.

In the opinion, the commitment to the national grid, with the national grid, the grid will be extended to all types of distributed power, and provide preferential grid conditions. The interpretation given by the relevant media, according to this view, the ordinary people in the future can be used not only solar power installations power supply to their own homes, but also can be used up the electricity sold to the national grid.

Jim Gentilcore promoted the solar cells Edwards CEO of



Solar cell maker Edwards Group has promoted Jim Gentilcore as the chief executive officer, effective from March 1, 2013.

PV industry without too much emphasis on the right to speak


Turning to the competitiveness of the Chinese PV industry, the face of Europe and the United States of "double reverse the passive situation analysis of photovoltaic products in China, the total number of articles to mention the right to speak the problem of inadequate market. That the Chinese photovoltaic products globally competitive, should determine the price of the global market has a greater right to speak. Since China's rapid economic growth, the master commodity pricing, seems to have become a nation of Dreams.

Statistics show that in the ranking of the world's 50 major products and services for the global market share in 2011, China has six kinds of products and services ranked first in the world, they are the shipbuilding industry, home air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, cigarettes and solar inverter  Win so much, but not the right to speak, is indeed a loss of face of things. The reason for the different industries, different answer; photovoltaic industry, I have the same feelings of others, there is not the same cognitive.

General explanation of the price of the right to speak "market actors in the market trading price formation, the right to participate, right of expression, initiative and even dominance, the initiative in the price formation, critical, decisive, authoritative, and influence. So, the Chinese people to form this view: as long as the production of certain products in the market among the dominant, should enjoy the right to speak; If not, you should go to fight.

In other industries, with the improvement of industrial environment in China, should be to strive for more right to speak; photovoltaic industry, but it is absolutely indisputable to. The photovoltaic industry is not a fully market-oriented industry, the size of the market size of the decision by the national government subsidies, the price level is affected by the level of impact of different government subsidized price. Theoretically should those subsidized prices, is the installation of a large quantity of countries have more price right to speak. For example, in July 2012, the photovoltaic Photovoltaic Panels power generation subsidized price determined to be 42 yen / kWh, tilt photovoltaic products worldwide resources to where the Japanese market, the price will undoubtedly influence.

Of course, one day another state-subsidized efforts to become the largest PV market prices of the country's natural to become the most right to speak. This country and may even be an economy is not necessarily the most developed, not necessarily the highest degree of market-oriented countries. So in the photovoltaic industry, we do not have too much emphasis on the issues of the right to speak.

No pricing is really very painful. GCL loss of hundreds of millions in the first half of 2012, an important reason should be to raise the price does not go up, GCL is purely one of the most globally competitive martial arts; recently the best components in the world producers - Trina PV inverter Limited constantly initiatives together to stabilize the market price, but let Hanposangzi and unpopular. Period of consolidation in the industry, the determination of the price is not the formation of the "collective will" before the decision of the price determined by the Last Stand of the enterprise.

Chinese PV enterprises in fact, has been the voice of the life and death struggle. Mid-2011, the Chinese PV companies desperate to expand production capacity, is to compete for the right to speak; After the mid-2011, prices drop lower than others, is also in contention for the right to speak. In fact, in the past year, the sharp decline in the price of photovoltaic products, greatly affect the price of the global market, the direct result is grid parity a few years ahead of time.

The first phase is expected to be held in October 2013 on the line as a whole. It is worth mentioning that the first time to ensure the successful implementation of the project Yingli SAP SAP company executives tried to arrange the Project Steering Committee and the establishment of a special quality control and supervision team.

Xinjiang Shuiguang complementary grid photovoltaic power generation project settled in Hotan


Recently, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Development and Reform Commission officially approved to approval Xinjiang Xinhua Hydropower Investment Co., Ltd. Bo Bona Shuiguang complementary 20MWp grid-connected photovoltaic power plant project, become the first hydroelectric settled in Xinjiang, photoelectric complementary and power generation projects.

Xinjiang Xinhua Bo Bona Shuiguang complementary 20MWp and grid-connected photovoltaic 
flexible solar panels power plant project approved approval marks Xinhua generation company a new step forward in the development of new energy field, Xinjiang Xinhua Hydropower Company adhere to sustainable development, ecological civilization and promote the rapid and steady development of the Xinjiang regional economy as well as explore the Shuiguang complementary coordinated operation mechanism, promote the healthy and orderly development of the solar energy industry has laid a good foundation. 

Xinjiang Xinhua Bobo Na Hydropower, photoelectric complementary 20MWp grid-connected photovoltaic project in Hotan County, Xinjiang Lang as Township, about 4 km distance has been built Bobo Na Hydroelectric power house, covers an area of
​​0.484 square kilometers, the operation of the project period the average annual grid electricity 26,909,600 kwh, engineering an estimated total investment of 235 million yuan. The project is scheduled to officially started construction in April during the year to achieve generation goals.

According to experts, due to the special nature of the photovoltaic power plant, the power grid is difficult to absorb. "Complementary Shuiguang" is the use of superior hydropower peaking performance through hydropower compensation adjustment to the grid to provide balanced, high-quality, to meet the power demand of the power system. Generating water, but also can save and improve the the integrated power efficiency of photovoltaic power plants and hydropower stations, complementary advantages of clean energy in China will create a precedent.

The United States, European Union, India, anti-dumping countervailing investigation on my solar panels. In October 2011, the United States, China's exports of mppt charge controller for anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations, which suffered from clean energy products in foreign trade remedy investigations, the preliminary ruling rate of the merger of 35% to 255%. September 6, 2012, the EU anti-dumping investigation on Chinese exports of solar modules, cells and wafers, India has also officially launched an anti-dumping investigation of solar photovoltaic products.

In 2012, China's solar cell and module exports to Europe and the United States accounted for about 70%. In 2011, China's total photovoltaic cells, nearly a thousand billion yuan, the related bank loans of about 300 billion yuan, the overall industrial output value and loans of more than one trillion yuan of scale. National mppt solar charge controller industry practitioners rough estimate of 40 million to 50 million people, millions of the public and related enterprises in the supply chain, the overall employment. Europe and the United States anti-dumping countervailing duty investigations on Chinese solar products is deadly and devastating impact on the entire PV industry in China.

Research Waterhouse solar industry analyst, said China's photovoltaic products exports by the European debt crisis, the main export market subsidy cuts and other international factors influenced a marked decline in export demand. Since the global economic crisis in 2008, the international market demand has been in the doldrums, the recent global debt crisis intensified, the global economy can not be restored in a short period of time, the outlook is worrying. I solar export enterprises in the international market is highly dependent by the sluggish world economy affect. In addition, the market exchange rate fluctuations will also adversely affect the enterprise exports.

The high-level solar homes completed in the Soviet Union


Recently, high-rise buildings, building integrated solar energy and air source demonstration project to observe the scene and technology seminar held in Xishan District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province Bureau of Housing and Urban.

The participants visited the Jiangsu Province, building energy efficiency (green building) demonstration projects, high-rise building solar integration key technology demonstration projects - Yunlin District Court. From the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Construction Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Construction Bureau of Wuxi, China Academy of Building Research, Chinese Renewable Energy Society, representatives of China Architectural Design and Research Institute and other government departments and units around the high-rise buildings use of solar panel  energy, solar energy and issues such as building integrated discussion and exchange.

According to reports, Yunlin Court G3 blocks of 18-storey high-rise residential applications is a new type of heat pump solar hot water system. The system implements solar and air dual energy around the clock throughout the year for the construction supply hot water. Outdoor dual-energy flat-plate collector thickness of some of the ultra-thin design only 8cm, according to the aesthetic needs of the building facades, zero angle mounted vertically, can replace air conditioning floating board member to maximize the integration of building, realize solar and building integration. The tank can be placed anywhere in the room, according to the design and installation of personalized interior decoration environment.

It is reported that the split solar cell hot water system under the conditions of the existing level of technology to realize is the integration of high-rise buildings and modern architecture almost difficult to do, because the realization of the value of all the functionality must be built on to meet the technical requirements can be reflected in the working conditions, that has good lighting conditions. And objective on the practical application of the process, there are few such conditions, even in a cell or a building often local households to meet the need of such products run throughout the year with plenty of light conditions can not be satisfied.

Wuxi Red Sun Solar Energy Technology Co., Ltd. Chairman Wang Guoxiong, new heat pump solar hot water system due to the heat pump operating mode to achieve full access to solar thermal light conditions, and can heat the air intake in the half-light, no light conditions and in different good conversion under working conditions encountered in the practical application of the "Triangle" (latitude angle, which fundamentally solved, toward the corner, blocking angle) application bottlenecks.

The system under good lighting conditions can make full use of solar energy, is inadequate sunlight conditions, rainy days and other adverse weather conditions, the heat pump system can be used to ensure that the entire system of energy-saving and practical effect of dual energy utilization, the whole annual energy-saving effect than a simple solar charge controller system increased by 30%, increased by about 20% to make up for a single use solar or air functionality and usability defects than separate heat pump system.

The system can be implemented in the entire district of unlimited full-households to install, not units, buildings around the shelter, toward the angle factors. The ordinary solar hot water system is difficult to achieve due to various factors throughout the district all installed, can only select a limited installation conditions of the user to install and use, but can not guarantee that the use of the annual 24-hour hot water supply requirements.

The system regardless of the collector inclined or vertical illumination angle, regardless of the orientation of the houses and buildings, lighting conditions, how can install, widely used in urban and rural areas of northern China, southern. The system exceeded the number of technical bottleneck, has five national invention patents, 15 utility model patents, and in 2010 by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Technology Assessment was listed as the promotion of scientific and technological achievements of the national construction industry projects.

The system application in Yunlin District Court out does not affect the exterior of the building, not to increase the burden on the design, there is no security risk, practicality, general adaptability, the advantages of energy saving and environmental protection.

High-power condenser and PV module technology continues to improve


High-power condenser reflection and transmission of the two practical HCPV power generation system condenser multiples of 500 × 1200 times the commercialization of high-power concentrating home solar panels photovoltaic power generation system efficiency from 23% to 28%. Fresnel lens is easy to design and simulation and lower costs, the main factors for concentrator photovoltaic systems using the lens. 

EmcoreConcentrix (SOITEC) Fresnel lens concentrator. However, to meet the requirements of high-power condenser system, to achieve long-term against environmental erosion, the Fresnel lens manufacturing also faces a series of challenges. There are a variety of technology manufacturing Fresnel lens, such as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) injection molding and hot pressing, and glass coated silicon gel (SOG), which require more complex fabrication process.

The transmittance, spot uniformity, focal length, process consistency, aberration, anti-UV, anti-sandstorm capacity assess the lens of the important indicators are.PMMA and SOG lens is now the most common of the two Fresnel lens. The high-power concentrating photovoltaic module contains a time lens, receiver, box and breathable device.

Single power module from tens of watts to watts range, depending on the system and tracker design the IEC62108 [Concentrator photovoltaic (HCPV) modules and assemblies-Design qualification and typeapproval] is only concentrating solar panels for sale receiver and groups pieces of international norms of evaluation criteria.

The U.S. Solfocus is one of the few manufacturers of reflective optical system used in the system design HCPV. The use of large parabolic mirror dish to do reflective optical system is considered to be a significant reduction in the the condenser manufacturing cost effective way, being in the combined heat and power (integrated PV + solar thermal) system.

Here to tell you about Canada MorganSolar. They developed a unique optical design (LightguideSolarOptic) is considered to be the major breakthrough of the CPV systems become much lighter and more thin photovoltaic modules in the same concentration magnification, greatly reduce the cost of module production while also reducing its tracker. Morgan's optical system can effectively reduce infrared radiation on the chip, so as to solve the heat problem.

These receiver components for many enterprises do HCPV PV module development and system integration, paving the way into the HCPV industry.Meanwhile, we also do not have any experience in the design of enterprise PV module reference design to accelerate progress in the development of these enterprises.

From a policy perspective, the concentrating cheap solar panels power technology in the government to promote the next in order to develop other photovoltaic technology.The European photovoltaic applications is done best in Germany, Spain, Italy and other European countries, the government give great efforts to feed-in tariff.

Favored relative to hydroelectric power, wind power, solar photovoltaic power generation due to less impact on the environment. HCPV relative to other photovoltaic technology, its enormous cost reduction potential to make it in a variety of new energy technology competition in advantage.

The Phono must Austrian cooperation in the development of the photovoltaic power plant in Thailand


Phono Solar announced jointly with the new essential Austrian energy company to develop a 40MW photovoltaic power plant in Thailand. This is the official Mairu Ya too regional energy market logo.

Phono Solar Technology Co., Ltd. is the China Machinery Industry Group, under the SUMEC Group, a leading global renewable energy solutions provider. Phono solar panels is focused on the development of photovoltaic technology innovation and application of the system, has been involved in the photovoltaic industry since 2004, and has set up branches and offices in the United States, Germany, United Kingdom, Switzerland, South Korea, Israel, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria and other countries and regions .

The cooperation with new must Austrian Energy Co., Ltd., as the world's leading electricity suppliers, the long-term commitment to renewable energy generation, mainly engaged in the biomass and the development of small-scale photovoltaic power plant project in Thailand. The the new must Austrian energy business development vice president FlorianBennhold President said: Phono buy solar panels  in McNair 35MWVeprek photovoltaic power plant project, the the components actual power output higher than the original design, 14%, believe that our cooperation in Thailand as there will be good performance. "

It is reported that the two sides will carry out 8MW power plant project in this year's first, followed by yearly increments 8MW power plant project cooperation agreement scheme. A source close to the Ministry of Commerce, who revealed to the author, the eve of the Spring Festival, a vice-ministerial level officials of China's Ministry of Commerce has led to the Europe, photovoltaic double reverse regarding negotiations with the EU leaders, hope can to mediate a peaceful settlement of double The anti-talks did not achieve substantive progress.

"And 19 February, the European Union has introduced a new requirement for compulsory registration will be conducted from mid-March on Chinese imports of PV products, fine pave the way for the preliminary ruling after the chase, this policy is in dual anti-talks immediately after the introduction of this apparently did not give our government face, and also show the current hard-line attitude of the European Union. "

Said Trina Solar said, when the United States for the country's dual anti-the German SolarWord Group U.S. subsidiary initiative, dual anti-initiator of the EU is also the company, but the company within the EU influence is clearly stronger than the United States, "Prior to the U.S. only to China's 
solar module photovoltaic cells were double reverse, domestic enterprises but also through the Taiwan OEM components, and other ways to get around the barriers, the EU is all included in the wafers, cells, modules a dual anti-range, the basic blocked PV companies in China sales channel. " 

Support and support policies in the discussion in the first half of may will be the introduction of rules, the original 'second five' plan, China's photovoltaic installed capacity of 20 GW in 2015, while this figure has increased to 35 GW, which is no doubt playing to the market to pick up a strong shot in the arm. "said the CDB
However, the industry also cautious.

"Still too early to pick up." Qu Xiaohua said the author, after all, the European market is still the main export market of sales, more than 50% of the sales of most enterprises are counting on the European market. "As a result, the EU in May and June of 2013 on the the dual anti preliminary results of our PV products will determine the fate of many companies, so can not judge the situation of the industry this year."

However, the Trina Solar said, the future of the Chinese PV industry is certainly in the domestic market, China's photovoltaic industry is emerging signs of recovery continues, the industry will be able to finally bottomed out. "The EU Dual Conversely war is essential currently is the rise of the domestic market to win the 2012 buffer time."

Shandong villagers to install 5.5 kilowatts officially distributed PV power plant power generation


Recently, the Dongying City DAOZHUANG villagers Liu Fulin home's roof installed 5.5 kilowatts of distributed photovoltaic power plant began generating electricity, his family became the second province residents roof generate electricity users. According to industry insiders, pioneering the "roof" market will gradually become the province PV companies targeting the important areas of domestic demand to achieve for themselves.

Since last year, the U.S. imposition of high punitive tariffs on China's exports photovoltaic cell components, mainly dependent on the export of Chinese PV companies lost an important market. How to open up the domestic market, the domestic photovoltaic enterprises have to face serious challenges. In order to help the new solar panel photovoltaic energy industry out of the doldrums, the State Council executive meeting held on December 19 last year, efforts to promote distributed photovoltaic power generation, and to encourage the installation of units, communities and families, and the use of photovoltaic power generation system. Liu Fulin home family power station, it is to belong to the category of "distributed".

Liu Fulin home Shandong sea of ​​new energy company to install the power plant engineer Zhang Shengli told reporters, Liu Fulin home roof installed 22 photovoltaic power generation battery components, costs about $ 30,000, in accordance with the annual average exposure time in our province more than 1500 hours, this rooftop power plant annual generating capacity of more than 8000 kwh, not only to meet the needs of their families, you can also sell excess electricity to the Shandong power grid.

Installed in industrial, commercial, public facilities, the roof photovoltaic power stations to generate electricity, domestic demand has become the province PV companies the competing open up the new business. Building integrated photovoltaic project, like the roof of the Jinan Hang Lung Plaza Gaomi Vosges Group Industrial Park plant rooftop power station, Texas "Sun and Moon Altar micro-row buildings" as well as the Science and Technology Park Linuo 1.6 MW rooftop solar cell photovoltaic power plants, Shandong Electric Power Group Corporation data The province has 14 distributed PV power plant to generate electricity grid more rooftop power station in full swing construction.

Liu Fulin home residents rooftop power station, so the province PV companies see a new market, said that the current industrial plant to the sports pavilion, the mall roof of stakeholders Dongying sea of ​​new energy company to install a PV installations campus top-level, high-quality large-scale roof of the building has long been unofficially crowned ", but residents of the roof, especially in rural households will be a vast market for PV distributed power station."

The success of the project included in the first national "Solar Roofs Plan" project. Many of the key equipment used in these two projects including inverter production are Yangzhou local enterprises. Yangzhou photovoltaic industry scale have been walking in the forefront of the country.

"Roof construction of power stations, the photovoltaic industry is the key to open the domestic market, Yangzhou can not be left behind in the end." Municipal Development and Reform Commission Energy Department official told reporters that the "Golden Sun" demonstration project as an opportunity, nearly few years, the city approved the construction of a demonstration project of 14.61 MW installed capacity installed megawatt to calculate ten thousand square meters, equivalent to the final assembly of more than 140,000 m2 of solar charge controller power roof.

To seize the initiative in the new round rooftop battle, the city started the construction of distributed photovoltaic power generation demonstration area, the embodiment has passed the approval of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, are reported to the National Energy Board. "Once declare success, Yangzhou will become a demonstration area of ​​national distributed generation large-scale applications." The person in charge said excitedly, the construction of the demonstration area will produce a great leverage, leveraging the accelerated development of Yangzhou photovoltaic industry.

Distributed power station construction, require a higher roof quality and space. Recently, the Municipal Development and Reform Commission on the roof of Yangzhou do a thorough investigation, the result was delighted to discover more, the city can be used to build the roof PV installations, industrial plants, a rough estimate only urban areas meet the conditions there are sixty to seventy MW. Planning in accordance with the demonstration area, the city will be used for about 10 years, the new 187-megawatt solar power project.

Foreign media said that China and the EU solar dispute more harm than good


Foreign media said, the latest research shows that solar dispute in Central Europe to impose punitive tariffs on Chinese manufacturers may eliminate a large number of jobs. German "Handelsblatt", February 19, according to a research report of Switzerland forecast Institute released in Brussels on the 19th, the punitive tariffs are different, only Germany could in the three years up to a decrease of 84,700 jobs in Germany will therefore become Europe the most severely affected countries.

Studies suggest that solar panel prices will slash demand, installed capacity and maintenance requirements will be reduced. Although punitive tariffs will give the European solar equipment manufacturers a competitive advantage, but the resulting jobs is only one fifth of the jobs lost in other areas.

The Principal of the study is "cheap Solar Alliance, the coalition of organizations from the field of solar panel energy production and service enterprises, the objective is to oppose trade protectionism measures in the solar market.

Reported that since 2012, the United States imposed punitive tariffs on solar products imported from China. In September 2012, the European Commission accepted the complaint EU support solar Organization of the Federation of European solar enterprise, and is considering whether to impose punitive tariffs on Chinese. The industry association accused competitors engage in price dumping from China and enjoy illegal subsidies.

In 2012, China's exports to the EU 21 billion euros worth of solar panels and other accessories. Devastated German solar energy companies considered their present the troubled main reason is the so-called cheap competition from China.
Some European companies on behalf of the initiative, told reporters that they have many years of good cooperation with many Chinese PV companies, once the EU established photovoltaic products in China "dual" tax, local enterprises in Europe will also be a huge loss.

Torsten general Ignatius Shas also said that if the levy punitive tariffs, even the 11-year-old child is no law to accept. Before his departure, the 11-year-old daughter said: "in the world to promote the use of clean energy, obviously available, affordable solar cell products, refused to use, how much irreparable This will give us the living environment loss. really do not understand why there is such a stupid decision to punitive tariffs?

September 6 last year, and November 8, the European Union, respectively, of the Chinese photovoltaic products launched anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigations involving Chinese companies the amount of exports to the EU of up to 21 billion euros, the largest amount of money involved in the EU's history, "double reverse "case.

At present, the case has entered a legal investigation procedures, the European Commission will be around June of this year to make a ruling on this case. The spokesman of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce has said that the Commerce Department attaches great importance to the case, and will continue to pay close attention to the investigation and adjudication of cases, and reserves the right to take further measures under the WTO framework.

The European Photovoltaic cartel anti-EU to impose punitive tariffs on Chinese PV companies


Europe parity solar Union said in a news conference held at the EU headquarters in Brussels on February 19, against the EU to impose punitive tariffs on Chinese PV products; if imposed punitive tariffs of 60 percent in three years, will lead the European Union more than 240,000 people unemployed .

Torsten general Ignatius Shas the German photovoltaic products companies - cable temperature Ti Kesi, CEO, at the same time the European of cheap solar Union News spokesman told reporters, he said: "If the EU to China 
solar panels photovoltaic enterprises to impose punitive tariffs will lead to EU 24.2 million people unemployed, for a moment of 'compensation', the breaking of the entire European solar industry chain, this is a stupid decision. " 

In order to stop this stupid decision ", the the the cable temperature Ti Kesi company from last summer began, PV enterprises in conjunction with 183 other European countries, the establishment of the cheap solar Union in Europe.Commissioned by the Alliance, based in Basel, Switzerland, an independent economic research institutes forecast Institute announced on February 18, a survey report, entitled "The anti-dumping measures on Chinese solar cell modules, solar cells and solar silicon tremendous impact and added value to the European Employment losses. "

7 report contains six charts, detailed description of data analysis, if the EU to impose punitive tariffs of 20% of the Chinese photovoltaic products in the first year after the tax, the EU will lose 115,600 jobs, the EU The enterprise will lose the added value of 4.74 billion euros, in the 3 years prior to the tax, the loss of 175,500 jobs, a loss of 18.4 billion euros of added value. Punitive tariffs to 60%, then three years, the EU will be the loss of 242,000 jobs, the loss of the added value of 27.2 billion euros.

Oliver Ellen Trout, senior project manager responsible for the drafting of the report, told this reporter that if the EU imposed punitive tariffs, the results clearly an "economic, employment loss account", the fact remains that there are well documented. "Involving the EU multinational and international anti-dumping case in this, they want to restore, to the maximum extent possible the real statistics, and an objective estimate of anti-dumping cases brought huge losses will give all parties." He also said that, in this field case, the loss is not just Chinese companies, as well as nearly 200 European companies may not be able to maintain their operations face closure.

The forecast Institute is an authoritative research firm with 50 years of history. Oliver Ellen Trout told this reporter that the most important feature is the Institute has been adhering to the principles of neutrality and objectivity, to conduct research, "under which there are many trade framework proposal to the international organizations to provide data analysis experts to make very with the reference value indicators and recommendations for action.

The day before the news conference, more than 60 
buy solar panels PV business representatives from the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Greece and other European countries took part in a special hearing held by the European Commission on this issue. Rory Macrae, a consulting company in Europe, told reporters at the hearing, each enterprise's own situation as an example, elaborated to the European Commission officials "can not be ruled China photovoltaic products 'dual' established and levied punitive tariffs reason. 

Thomas Barros - Tasman on behalf of, the press liaison officer responsible for convening the press conference, told reporters that European companies joint actions against EU tax photovoltaic products in China will adhere to in the end, if the EU continues to stubbornly make levied The decision of the punitive tariffs, "just as shooting yourself in the foot,".

Yangzhou solar thermal Gross margin decreased to 20%


After the horrors of the market in 2012, "the whole army defeat following the solar photovoltaic industry, has been hailed as a sunrise industry, solar thermal industry nor comfortable.

February 12, the the Yangzhou City Wuting Jiaozi solar water heater factory general manager Zhang Yunjun to the "China Enterprise News" reporter revealed that the "sunrise industry in the eyes of the layman, from last year to become a sunset industry, the solar controller water heater market sales year-on-year decline in 30 % -50%, a lot of small businesses do not do either find a way out, either like us in transition, many medium-sized enterprises is riding a tiger. "

Currently, Zhang Yunjun has from home machine retail market to the hot water project market integration into product manufacturing marketing led marketing works to expand. The same time, in the development of solar hot water project at the same time, Zhang Yunjun withdraw to enter the wine trade field, the present margin wine distributor Yangzhou city, seeking development through the "legs" to walk layout.

"A few years ago, we plant a year in sales and can still do more than 20 million yuan last year, has less than 10 million yuan, the solar water heater market is getting harder and harder, the console market is fully saturated, commercial engineering machine market competition from cheap excessive, gross profit dropped from 40% to 50% to 20%. "Zhang Yunjun not conceal the decline in the status quo of the solar water heater business, he was even more worried that the next few years the market of the charge controller thermal industry The room for growth is uncertain.

He further disclosed that Yangzhou in the country's famous two solar water heater business last year, have suffered a larger decline. Previous highest sales in a business do 2 billion last year, sales of tens of millions of dollars before thiscompanies never needed loans from the bank, the beginning of the year from the bank loans of more than 1000 million for production inputs. "

Chinese solar water heater business had more than 5,000, mainly, Jiangsu Province, the solar water heater production is mainly concentrated in the city of Yangzhou, Nantong, Lianyungang in Jiangsu, Shandong, Zhejiang and other areas.But more than 95% of the solar water heater market share, mainly in three or four markets, has been solar water heaters is facing "difficult town resistance.

"Now, the rural wholesale price of a solar water heater in 1500 yuan, only 800 yuan cheapest water heater dealer to sell a profit of only two or three hundred dollars." Zhang Yunjun revealed that due to the rural market tends to be saturated, since 2011large enterprises since they price war market reshuffle, many SMEs do not have the strength to participate in, and can only be faced with the predicament of shrinking market sales.

"In the past, a worker as long as the one-year cost of 2-3 million, the factory now raise the cost of workers rose to 50,000 yuan a year, the cost of middle managers to 8-10 million." Zhang Yunjun to Chinese enterprises "Reporters calculations," do home machine market, factories each of the gross profit, but more than 100 yuan, the SME annual sales of at most 2 million -3 million units. although doing mppt solar charge controller hot water project the amount of each project to achieve 10 million, gross profit of 30 000 -4 million, but removed RBI relations and commission expenses, profits pitiful as a 50 or so factory owners to maintain breakeven good. "

Hundreds of thousands of solar panels in Europe or caused by roof fire


Dutch government yesterday warned that Europe hundreds of thousands of pieces solar panels on the roof, the roof of the fire may be caused due to the failure of electronic circuits. Europe has 15 similar cases occurred.

Netherlands, "De Volkskrant" (DeVolkskrant) reported that the Dutch manufacturer of solar panels ScheutenSolarSystems declared bankrupt and sold in Europe in the period from August 2009 to February last year, at least 650,000 "Multisol" type solar panels, including about 15,000 in the Netherlands.

Reported Scheuten aware of this problem in 2010, but until last year in France two roof fires after action. Located in Venlo (Venlo) company declared bankruptcy last year, but the recipient is still the face of at least 1,000 cases of damage claims cases.

The new Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) said in a statement that poor electronic wiring installation of the solar panel, may cause fires, so advises people cut off at home with these panels line connection.

NVWA plate and its back DC junction box (JunctionBox), convergence problems, which might cause a spark, thereby destroying the junction box and it smolder.These sparks may cause the roof to fire. Although repair or replace these DC junction box, will be able to solve the fire problem, however NVWA still Quanqing people by experts to remove and replace these junction boxes, for safety's sake.

From the new energy industry, the company has announced the results of Letters of view, the results of the downward trend is more obvious, especially buy solar panels and wind power industry, the company, most of the results of year-on-year have appeared more serious decline, based on our finishing and forecast:

Expected performance growth rate of more than 50% of the company: Tianshun wind, camel shares, Southern Power, Miles shares; expected performance growth rate of 30% -50% of the company: in nuclear science and technology; expected growth performance in 0-30% Company: technological, Tatham Wind Power, Shanghai Electric, Jiangsu supernatural, sailing shares, shares Shengyang, Western Power, Hangzhou Boiler shares; performance of the company will be varying degrees of decline.

However, industry orders into revenue confirmed that there is a delay of 1-2 months, the annual report reflect the results of the end of last year, the fundamentals of the industry. Recent price of 
solar grid tie inverter photovoltaic products appear more obvious rebound, the domestic polysilicon double anti polysilicon price is expected to rebound in the greatest variety, upstream raw material prices, wafers and components downstream prices also rose, 

We believe that industry fundamentals have been at the bottom. With the formation of the bottom of the industry fundamentals, the bottom of the industry's performance will gradually appear, if prices continued to rise, according to the law of order confirmation, we expect the leading enterprises may return to profitability in the mid-year report.

Q3 solar equipment book-to-bill ratio was negative for the first time

As of the end of the third quarter, according to research coordinating units Solarbuzz said, solar manufacturers in 2012 has been canceled and delays totaling more than 30 billion dollars in equipment orders. The total order backlog of solar equipment suppliers so significant decrease in the third quarter of 2012 is already fourth consecutive quarter of decline, the rate reached 30%. Mainly due to new orders for solar equipment suppliers from equipment maintenance, solar book-to-bill ratio has fallen into negative, this is the first time since the solar energy industry continued to grow for many years.

NPD Solarbuzz analyst Lim sharp negative orders are shipped than in the capital equipment industry is extremely rare. Even if the semiconductor industry is facing the worst economic recession, and its book-to-bill ratio remains positive. Negative book-to-bill ratio that many solar panel capacity expansion plans have been canceled. This satisfies the solar industry rebound from overcapacity downturn phase one of the first condition.

The customer base of the solar equipment, solar cell and module manufacturers that there will be a period of time have to continue going through a painful process of rationalization of capacity to digest excessive investment since 2010. However, a quarter production of polycrystalline silicon cells and modules remain around 13 GW, offset by additional new capacity on-line spare capacity to exit.

Solarbuzz said that the third quarter of 2012, the battery and module manufacturers began to sharply reduce capacity utilization, an attempt to restore the inventory to a manageable level. However, the uncertainty concerns to the ongoing anti-dumping investigation resulted in the short-term solar panel manufacturers to enhance the production capacity or output held a high degree of caution. Some Chinese polysilicon cell and module manufacturers are considering more diversified their production capacity area configuration.

According to the forecast, solar equipment spending in 2012 is expected to decline more than 66%, will remain with the 2008 level of about $ 5 billion in 2013. The equipment spending rebound is expected to wait until at least 2014, of which more than 90% of the revenue from first-tier vendors expenditures.

Within the next 12-18 months, the solar equipment spending in key equipment upgrades, advanced and efficient production lines, as well as a potential regional production capacity diversified in response to the trade restrictions or to meet local requirements.

Japanese media reported 22, the Japanese trading giant Marubeni plans in November officially launched in Oita Prefecture voted to build the nation's largest solar cell power station construction project is expected to completed in time for March 2014. It is understood that the construction land is located in the maritime industries of Oita Prefecture, a total area of
​​105 hectares, with a total investment of nearly 24 billion yen, the power station will bring in 350,000 solar panels, the power generation capacity of up to 81,500 kilowatts, Japan level, the total annual power generation of about 87 million kwh, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of nearly 30,000 households.

Marubeni Corporation said that 20 years after the formal operation of the power station, all power will be sold to the Kyushu Electric Power Company, Japan's Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding enterprises also voted to build a solar power station planned in its contiguous zone, Oita Prefecture for maritime industries and solar energy is expected to total power generation capacity will reach 125,000 kilowatts.

Chinese PV companies to seize the South African market bridgehead


In the past two years, the European Union, the United States, India and other countries and regions have exports of PV products in China launched a series of "dual" measures, so that the PV industry in China has long been heavily dependent on the U.S. and European markets embattled photovoltaic enterprises have the perspective to Africa and Asia-Pacific and other emerging markets.

The Suntech, BYD, Jingke GCL, Chint the domestic photovoltaic mainstream enterprise have Chenbing Nan non-African PV solar panel market sentiment snatch. Half a beat slower photovoltaic Lu enterprises, the urgent need to catch up. It is understood that the Linuo Group has realized the potential of the African market, and start in the non-layout.

In early February, the information released by the Ministry of Commerce show that Africa has become the fastest growing export of China's photovoltaic products in emerging markets. In December 2012, China's photovoltaic products exports to African countries for $ 51,990,000, an increase of 111%. Accompanied economic development in Africa, the countries of the electricity demand increases, at the same time, Africa can make use of large reserves of clean resources, especially in Ethiopia such as the Sahara near adequate light of the country, the development of the photovoltaic industry obvious advantages.

South Africa, Morocco has developed a strategy to support the development of the solar cell photovoltaic industry. The Commerce Department recommended that PV companies in China should actively explore the African market this year. In the African market, especially in Africa's largest economy, South Africa, the most fiery owned photovoltaic enterprises have here as a pioneering African market bridgehead.

BYD PV Yang Feng, regional manager in South Africa, has told the Economic Herald reporter African PV market is favorable for Chinese enterprises, mainly thanks to the bidding of the local government, as well as the relatively favorable investment environment, the lower the market access threshold and considerable market potential. "South Africa is very sound legal barriers to trade almost no government is also encouraging foreign investment." Yang Feng said.

South Africa from 2011 to vigorously develop the photovoltaic industry, approved a photovoltaic power generation of 632 MW and 150 MW concentrating power station power generation projects the solar charge controller photovoltaic become one of the key investment projects in South Africa. Keen sense of smell the Hanwha, BYD, Suntech, Jinko, Trina, Chint photovoltaic in corporate giants have already sharpening rushed to South Africa, is being to supply photovoltaic set up projects and the establishment of a module factory.

At this point, Yang Feng was stationed in South Africa, and the formation of large single scored 110 MW PV for BYD. Yang Feng told the Herald reporter, in the first phase of the tender of more than 600 MW project, around seventy percent share of the Chinese-funded enterprises occupy.

The Taiwan solar domestic market will be more difficult


The Taiwan research firm Energy Trend latest report said the first phase of the 2013 solar bid job completed Bid Opening reached 52.4MW According to statistics, the amount of qualified bidders to participate in the current period bid, therefore operating provisions of competitive bidding in accordance with the Taiwan Ministry of Economic Affairs, Bureau of Energy,

Current bid capacity limit of 30MW, Upon the end of the meeting Current standard capacity of 29.6MW, have been very close to maximum capacity, which shows that the fierce market competition this year, said Energy Trend research coordinating body dictated, 2013 Taiwan mppt solar charge controller domestic market operations more difficult.

Energy Trend said that since the first phase by the Government for the rate of validation of the new year, with operating time shorter, so the first phase of the industry participate in the bidding less enthusiastic majority in the observed rates and the average discount rate trend, according to to determine the second phase of bidding strategies.

Energy Trend minimum discount rate of about 3.8% in the case of the issue of bidding, then look to bid cases a few case discount rate of 7% or more, suggesting that the current average discount rate will fall in the vicinity of 5%. On the other hand, according to the first phase of the tender condition, ready to participate in the second phase of the potential bidders, bidding capacity of 90MW out in full in the first half of the year, the second half of remaining free bid market can dwell.

In response to this situation, Bureau of Energy planning grant will add another capacity, contingent has yet to see the Enforcement Rules, Energy Trend forecast to be the fastest to the third quarter will be announced whether the new capacity for the industry by bidding
Polysilicon spot market share fell sharply since peaking in May last year soon, due to overcapacity and weak demand, manufacturers and more stock sales, resulting in the spot market accounted for 47% of the total polysilicon sales.

The IHS market research company, spot market polysilicon total sales in December last year, accounted for only 20 per cent, means that the problem of excess inventory had disappeared, and led to a sharp fall in prices thus forcing a large number of small manufacturers in the price fell below manufacturing costs After the close down.

"As IHS expected in November last year, mppt charge controller grade polysilicon prices already in early 2013 to close at the end of its cycle of up to 24 months," said Dr. Henning Wicht, principal analyst of the IHS photovoltaic solar, "possession of the spot marketthe fall, as well as other indicators of change, damage means that in 2012 prices of polysilicon supply profits will end soon. "

China's photovoltaic industry is facing at least two challenges


Wang Bo, China's photovoltaic industry is facing at least two challenges: First, technical infrastructure and lack of innovation, and the subsequent development challenges. China's photovoltaic industry, mainly through the accumulation of the wood to expand the industrial scale to reduce costs and to earn the cost of manufacturing in the early stages of development, there is still a large gap between the key technologies, some of the key equipment, electronic materials, such as automatic screen printing machine, silver paste material , are still dependent on imports. The basic theory and core technology R & D lag, lack of the new laminated battery and other new products and technology reserves, subsequent development is not optimistic.

In addition, the deterioration of the international trade environment, the industry faces a hollowing out of danger. The United States and the European Union has launched a "double reverse" investigation of photovoltaic products in China, involving nearly 80% of our solar cell products. The one hand, trade barriers exacerbated the plight of China's photovoltaic industry, such a short period of time can not make up for the European and American market losses through other market development, PV mppt solar charge controller companies in China will face a large number of the danger of extinction. On the other hand, the deterioration of the international trade situation of China's photovoltaic industry will be forced to accelerate the transfer to circumvent international trade risks and better near the terminal market, eventually leading to the local industrial hollowing.

In addition, Wang Bo, as companies exit mechanism is still not perfect, and blind assistance of the local government, the domestic photovoltaic enterprises eliminate backward capacity slow pace of progress. Addition, supporting production line layout, cost and energy consumption control problem impact of large polysilicon enterprises are reluctant to mergers and small factories; components enterprise integration difficulties but also because of the brand, warranty, after-sales reasons. industry supply and demand imbalance situation in a short time is difficult to alleviate. "

"Photovoltaic industry downturn affecting the PE sector investment enthusiasm, PE investment institutions photovoltaic industry since the beginning of this year a substantial cooling the other hand, a number of photovoltaic enterprises IPO crashed out very optimistic about the prospects for the PV solar cell enterprises IPO exit channels blocked to some extent affected the owned PE firms PV industry. ChinaVenture Investment in Group analyst Li Ling said.

2013 PV industry "in the dual role of this year's favorable policies and market adjustment, there will be more obvious improvement of the large enterprises of the state-owned background in 2013, there will be a performance improvement opportunities, but private enterprise reorganization and acquisition of small photovoltaic pressure greater. "Photovoltaic mppt charge controller Industry Association of Jiangsu Province, said the former Secretary-General Wei Qidong.

"Shift the focus of the global photovoltaic market. Affected by the debt crisis, the traditional installed States generally lower subsidy rates, market development is shifting to emerging photovoltaic countries tilt, American and Japanese PV market is accelerating the rise of 2013, China's new PV market will reach 10GW, to further enhance the status of the global PV market. "said Wang Bo, Secretary-General of the China Photovoltaic Industry Alliance.
