Photovoltaic Industry Is Facing The Integration

Published:2011/2/22 1:31:00 Author:Li xiao na From:SeekIC

The world’s photovoltaic industry is adjusting. The large American and Chinese manufactures of solar energy battery module are trying to hold the leading place in European market; meanwhile, the small manufacturers are suffering the blow from price and subsidy reduction. The International Energy Agency has moved up the predication of electrify demand, which make the practitioners excited. However, the fast developing Italian market may form the bubble after the collapse of Spanish market.

There will be more and more integration in the photovoltaic industry, and only several large-scale manufacturers survive at last. The price of the solar energy battery module has reduced by fifty percent in the past eighteen months, which made some companies very dangerous. The situation of the photovoltaic industry is similar with the periodic integration in automotive industry. First Solar declare that it is the largest manufacturer of solar energy module all over the world. Its president maintains that the scale is very important. Owning the top capacity is valuable.

Enel, Sharp and the ST Microelectronics have invested on establishing a factory in Sicilia. They will use the most advanced techniques to produce the battery module. For the turbulent market, government’s long-term decision of power price becomes very important. With the implementation of the grid parity, the price is more competitive when compared with the other power generating pattern.

With the recovery of the global economy, the supply will be unable to meet the demand in this year. The foreign-funded companies are feeling depressed for the low opening speed of Chinese market. The Chinese government invests nine billion on the renewable energy development every month, and it is pricing. China is a large market, but it has not matured within two or three years. Many large companies encourage the Chinese market to open. The related integrated circuit of photovoltaic industry is MAX15022.
