PV inverters: differentiation to avoid price war

Polaris Solar PV Network News: "This was the best of times, it was the worst of times." To use a word to summarize the current situation of the PV inverter industry, perhaps this is the most appropriate as this. Newly released in 2012 "Golden Sun" project planning capacity will reach 1.7GW, plus the National Energy Board National Planning PV installed 3GW, 2012, the domestic PV market overall capacity will likely reach 6 ~ 7GW. This is undoubtedly enlarge the market demand for PV inverters.

At the same time, due to intense competition, market prices downward trend has not reversed, the price war or imminent, shuffle or has no potential free. From a policy perspective, also revealed by setting the access threshold to regulate the development of the industry's intentions. At the recent national financial work conference on energy saving, Deputy Minister of Finance Zhang Shaochun said it would PV modules, inverter with charger and other key equipment suppliers and product performance set a higher threshold conditions, guide enterprises to accelerate technical progress to promote industrial integration.

    Feedback information from the market point of view, and take the road of competitive differentiation has become quite a photovoltaic inverter enterprises to improve cost-effective magic. In early May, the Ministry of Finance, the National Energy Board and other ministries jointly issued the "2012 Golden Sun demonstration project directory", this year to obtain the total approved projects up to 1.71GW, far higher than 2011's 600MW, but also far beyond the market expectations.

    Although the "Golden Sun" project subsidy standard from the previous seven yuan down to 5.5 yuan, but because of special provisions not to allow extension of the project must be installed before the end of this year to complete. Thus, in some industry view, subsidy reduction should not affect the amount of the final completion of the project, 1.71GW project will successfully complete the installation.

    In addition to the "Golden Sun" project and the National Energy Board's plan, each of the local governments in fact are "game" local planning capacity. Previously, Gansu determine this year's installed capacity of 2.8GW, also beyond the industry's expectations of its 2GW.

    Total approved projects frequently than expected, no doubt greatly encouraged by the industry's confidence. In the opinion of many people in the industry, this year's total installed capacity of photovoltaic power plants will reach 6GW ~ 7GW. Benefit from price advantages in the domestic market enterprises occupy a major share of the inverter http://www.gridtiepowerinverteronline.com/ case, the expansion of domestic capacity will undoubtedly boost the domestic demand for PV inverters.

Improvement in the overall performance of the photovoltaic industry capital markets warm temperature

In support of national policy and its own efforts, the photovoltaic industry gradually bottomed out. According Flush iFinD statistics show that the first quarter of this year, A-share market listed companies 31 PV achieved operating income of 11.073 billion yuan, down 6.4 percent; realized a net profit of -2.36 billion yuan, down 161.65 percent, of which there are 10 losses . In contrast, last year's report shows that there are 12 loss-making enterprises.

From the net profit point of view, since the first quarter of this year, although the loss of the entire PV industry is still, still sharply year on year net profit, but the ring than last year's fourth quarter, down 1,500% net profit, has been significantly improved. Especially in the current year, reporting the results of a published notice of 17 company, in which there will be three losses, three pre-increase compared to last year, seven year pre-cut, only three continued losses and a first loss. Improvement in the overall performance of the photovoltaic industry is a fact.

Sub-sectors of view, the main industrial chain of photovoltaic cells, modules listed companies benefit from faster. This is mainly due to the global solar cell, module prices and improved capacity utilization, low price of PV modules from the beginning of the $ 0.60 / W up to the current $ 0.72 / watt. The cost of the battery components dropped significantly since last year, not synchronized recovery.

To which the eight component manufacturers listed companies, for example, the average cost of components from 2011 7 to 8 yuan / watt dropped to 2012 from 4 to 4.8 yuan / watt, more than 40% price cut. Which EGing optoelectronics, East Sunrise component costs fell 4.2 yuan / watt, is an industry leader. With shipments are expected to enhance and PV modules prices, they will be the first to benefit.

Oriental Sunrise announcement shows that in 2013 a quarter of the company realized losses, net profit of 7,623,200 yuan, an increase of 2060.21%. A quarter consolidated gross margin reached 28.45%, an increase of 20 percentage points.

By overcapacity and uncertainties such as the impact of photovoltaic equipment suppliers still continue to experience winter, orders fell utilization rate dropped resulting lack of scale of business operations, profitability fell significantly. Although in 2013 a quarter of the chain link equipment losses, but whether it can be sustained remains to be seen.

Data show that, excluding photovoltaicpower plant construction period of long term instability revenue recognition, the 2012 device links operating income decreased by 52.3% in 2013 fell 25.19 percent, are in various aspects of the biggest drop. In addition, from sales margin perspective, year 2012, part of the sales margin decreased equipment 66.35%, 91.15% decline in the first quarter of this year, not only the largest decrease of all sectors, and down the momentum does not change.

From the data perspective, supplies part of the demand is relatively rigid, 2012 and 2013, annual revenues not decline, down 14.35 percent and 2.06 percent, with the decline in product prices, profitability, although still positive diminuendo but net.

Link relative prosperity inverter, modified sine wave inverter year 2012 operating income rose 11.41%, the inverter links the competitive environment compared to the relative ease of assembly areas. I believe that with technology upgrade, the inverter boom is expected to continue, the domestic market will become a big probability mass start event.

PV power plant sectors uncertainty, the data show year 2012 revenue fell 57.44 percent power station, in 2013 a quarter fell 56.05%. The PV power plant with tariff revenues and profits are closely related, prospects need to wait for photovoltaic subsidies fall boots.

Solid Dulwich: PV Inverter Industry "new street boy"

Distributed generation policies will favor micro-inverter

In Europe and other countries photovoltaic applications earlier, "distributed" grid PV market has become mainstream, and look back at our country in recent years, more emphasis on large-scale popularization and application of large-scale power plants, related to statistics more than 70% of the photovoltaic installed capacity comes from large-scale photovoltaic power plants, "distributed" equipment accounted for only two percent. Relative to the large-scale photovoltaic power plants, distributed photovoltaic equipment mainly installed in homes, factories roofs fine, because the grid, tariffs, subsidies, and many other uncertain factors, therefore the popularity and development of distributed, will was recently a long way to go in the process.

Not long ago the relevant state departments in 2012 officially released "on the good services of distributed photovoltaic power generation and network views of the work" and other relevant policy documents, efforts to promote the domestic development of distributed photovoltaic power generation, to encourage units, communities and families Installation , the use of photovoltaic systems. Domestic "distributed" smooth opening of the market will undoubtedly become the PV production capacity to digest a new outlet.

Distributed photovoltaic power generationmicro-inverter to become the focus of much attention, the DC power conversion from a single solar module exchanges, each solar cell module is equipped with an inverter and converter function, each component can be individually currents conversion, and can level the panel maximum power point tracking (MPPT), beyond the central inverter has advantages, to optimize the output power of the module, the overall maximum output power.

Micro-inverters generally use reverse isolation topology, not inject DC bias current to the grid, DC side and AC side of the isolation, machine damage, solar panels will not affect the power grid; Second, each photovoltaic panels with a micro-inverter , no DC high voltage, there will be no risk of electric shock, no arc; each individual photovoltaic panels generate electricity, anti-shadow characteristics, the inverse of amicro-inverter is damaged, does not affect the power generation system; ease of installation, which for the United States and Europe expensive PV installation cost is a huge advantage.

It is reported that since 2009 Micro-inverter massive sales in the U.S. market has been gradually occupy the country with 30% of rooftop PV market share, this share continues to increase. And because micro-inverters are easy to install and use transformer isolation, Western countries have very broad market prospects.

When polysilicon, component manufacturers to golf badly beaten on the occasion of the meager profits, thanks SMA PV inverters giant scale installation terminal market, in 2008 began to enter the high-margin growth period, nearly 25 percent for two consecutive years EBITmargin.

The next two years the PV inverter industry remains highly profitable stage, with more and more competitors enter, profit margins decline, but thanks to the increase in the total terminal system installed, the industry still maintained rapid growth, brand, technology, services, channels become victory.

Local manufacturers, Dances with Wolves started late because the terminal market, the domestic photovoltaic inverter manufacturers generally small scale, structure and technology, workmanship, performance, stability and other indicators with foreign first-class level of a certain gap, but occupy more than 60% of the domestic market leading enterprises in Hefei Sunshine Power has made great progress, and began to enter the European power market.

With the promotion of domestic policy, it is expected that by 2020 China PV Inverter total demand of at least 18.6GW, market size of over 50 billion yuan, while in 2008 the national PV pure sine wave power inverter output of about 25MW, a huge market space for development. International giants from 2009 began to focus on domestic landing layout, domestic competition will become increasingly fierce.

Recently, the solar power industry continues to be optimistic about the market. We believe that the cost of solar power in the next 3-5 years will reach grid parity, which will bring the demand for solar power explosive growth, the PV inverter market will therefore grow substantially.

    PV inverter power electronics by way of the direct current into alternating current module device that is connected photovoltaic power generation and grid an important link.

    We believe that PV inverter PV industry is huge and the last one has not been fully tapped bonanza. According to our estimates, the PV inverter charger current market size of 430 billion yuan, is expected to 2015, even considering selling prices, the PV inverter market size will exceed 1,000 billion yuan, more than the PV components in capable of billions of super-sub-sub-sectors, competition is expected to become the winner of ten billion of large companies.

    It is understood that the current global PV inverter market is dominated by SMA and other manufacturers monopolies. The first to enter the market to dominate 40% of the market, SMA is the undisputed leader, and the top four vendors market share of over 60%. At present domestic enterprises in the PV inverter market share issmall, accounting for about 5%.

In fact, from the industry point of view attributes, it is more suitable for PV inverters growing industry in China, mainly as follows: First, China is already the world's largest battery production base in the market have inherent advantages. Second, Chinese enterprises have a cost advantage. According to our calculations, domestic inverter cost is expected to reach 40% of imports. In addition, Chinese enterprises have the technology base. PV inverters in essence is the power electronics, and domestic enterprises in the field of power electronics production experience and technology all have a strong competitive edge.

Domestic inverter market or will usher in a "blowout" development

Domestic inverter market is also more optimistic about the industry, the domestic photovoltaic power generation installed capacity entered a rapid growth phase, wind power generation in the national policy clear after several consecutive years of double growth, China's PV market has its own formal "tariff" policy, to replicate this blowout development will be a high probability event.

2011, will be the development of grid-connected PV power peak, the industry expects China 2011 and 2012, newly installed PV capacity in 2010 on the basis of only around 400MW to 1.5GW and 3GW soared above, a substantial stimulating demand for grid-connected photovoltaic inverters.
