2013 global solar PV market demand in the first quarter dropped to 6.2GW

Cut-off of the Chinese market demand for seasonal and end-market government policies, the global solar PV market demand in the first quarter of 2013 to 6.2GW reduced by 23% compared with the previous quarter. According to the NPD Solarbuzz Quarterly report pointed out that in the next four quarters, China will account for more than 20% of the global PV market needs, but the needs of each quarter between 0.9-3.6GW, the cyclical fluctuations in demand will also give the leading PV manufacturers bring new supply Challenges.

"Chinese demand is a key driver of the global PV market in the end of 2012, helps you to burn upstream high inventory accumulation in the previous quarters," NPD Solarbuzz analyst Michael Barker said, "However, significant market demand in China in 2013 fluctuations will give capacity utilization and inventory control challenges at the same time, the rest of the world PV solar charge controller market demand for the coming quarters began in a predictable level, which is long-term planning is essential. "

The next four quarters, the European Photovoltaic demand mainly from Germany, Italy, France and the United Kingdom, the four countries will account for more than 65% of Europe's total demand.

The impact of policies on the European PV demand will weaken, so the demand for each quarter will be relatively stable. In the next four quarters, the end-market demand in Europe is expected to be in the range of each quarter between 2.7-3.2GW. In addition to Chinese and European markets, the U.S. and Japanese markets also play an important role in driving the demand for photovoltaic. The bilateral PV demand at different times, the strong demand for the Japanese market in the first half, while the U.S. market demand is more concentrated in the second half of the year. Except China and Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia and other emerging markets, including market demand for each quarter in the next four quarters 2.5GW-3.6GW.

Fluctuations in market demand will continue to affect the next four quarters, the growth of the global PV small solar panels industry, production and shipping plans, press to adjust the quarter. "Barker added," This will be dependent on the Chinese market suppliers had a significant impact , Europe, Japan and the United States market in the future quarterly demand trends are more clear and stable, conducive to these market suppliers for better production planning.

Shanghai, China, in 2013, April 8 - cost advantage and high-quality PV modules, known for the world's ten largest PV solar panel manufacturers manufacturers in the world, Hanwha Energy today announced the worldwide release of its new generation of HSL Series PV modules . Compared with the previous generation of products, the HSL Series components with more compact design, and output power and further enhance durability. In addition, the new component is also equipped with anti-PID (potential induced attenuation) technology and anti-salt spray corrosion technology, and has a more powerful snow and wind loads.

"The launch of the new polysilicon components in our product innovation in the history of one of the important milestone. Hanwha new energy industry-leading technology, a new generation of HSL series of components of both performance and price competitiveness, better to meet the needs of our customers. "Hanwha new energy president Kim Min show (Min-Su Kim) said," one of the most reliable as the global solar field of cooperation partners, we will always committed to the development of industry-leading technology and solve the program, strive to provide customers create the greatest value.
