The end of 2010, Changzhou Trina Solar Limited sales Pobai billion. But with the policy of European countries gradually reduce the subsidies, the PV market in 2011 was generally look bad.
After experiencing rapid growth in the next 10 years the PV industry will enter a second phase, the growth rate will not soar, but become more rational. However, the high discipline where it did not show much concern, “Last year, TRW’s sales in the global market for the 1.06GW, this component is expected to sell 1.75-1.8GW.”
PV industry now and in the growth stage, which is not in doubt. But the growth rate is gradually declining trend, but every year there may be some fluctuations. But this is not entirely because of subsidies decline. For example in Germany, in 2004, FIT (solar electricity price subsidies), the decline in subsidies every year. This is inevitable, if not decline, the industry’s contribution to society would be impossible. Long term, the cost of photovoltaic power generation side of the user should first achieve power parity, the parity after the realization of the power generation side.
The first echelon of several suppliers, including China and Japan, Europe, the United States, some companies, its sales accounted for 40% -50% of global share. The remaining twenty-three tier companies accounted for over 50 per cent.
In general, one tier of business approved by the bank, the customer groups are also large energy power company, or long-term investors, their needs and policy adjustment will not produce great changes. Customer base, which is really a group of opportunistic investors are directed at the high policy of subsidies to do, but their docking are generally twenty-three tier enterprises.
Challenges of the future is if energy storage battery technology can not keep up, then the solar energy development will be restricted. Solar energy is now an important part, and only accompanied by energy storage technologies, especially the size of energy storage technology, solar energy could become a major part.
PV industry is actually a human through technological innovation to create value. Recommended that the Government strive to foster a competitive industry well-known enterprises, such as Japan in the 1970s, the global leader in the appliance industry, companies such as South Korea’s leading companies in the semiconductor industry. Photovoltaic industry to become the pride of Chinese industry, must have such a position.
