UK's new PV capacity 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 mppt solar charge controller 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 flexible solar panels products expressed concern about the issue. The China solar modules has led to the price of PV modules rose ROC can not provide funds to build the project level.

Small solar 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.
