Depreciation of the euro affect 3Q German solar cells offer

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Although both sides offer solar battery plant in Q3 and Q2 remain fairly flat, but by the euro of profits, solar market rumors, the German solar cell factory is also true essence of the first-line Q3 batteries offer per watt is expected to cut prices 1.1 euros, after conversion into U.S. dollars, and the two sides offer very close to the industry, probably in 2004 since the rapid growth of the photovoltaic industry, first to see “close quote,” still wait for the market shockwaves.

By the depreciation of the euro and Germany on July 1 subsolar cut subsidy rate does not become clear photovoltaic effect, module manufacturers in addition to the German market in Q3 notice will cut 10 percent under the price, recently, a line of German solar cell factory system also true essence of the offer will be reduced Q3 strategy.

Solar industry said that although the plant for the solar cell factory line, but the normal price level is not in the high range, the current per-watt battery offer about 1.2 euros, but the first three quarters came to an estimated ~ 1.1 euros offer an average reduction of 8 %.

The German system is not first-line plants offer fall, but a ~ 1.1 euros converted into U.S. dollars of about 1.23 ~ 1.35 U.S. dollars, in fact, offer has Q2 Taiwan Department of industry spot market offer 1.35 U.S. dollars per watt equivalent may be the sun in 2004 Since the rapid growth of photovoltaic industry, the European solar industry representative system offer rare so close to Asian businesses, particularly in solar cell industry is encroaching upon the two sides offer.

Solar industry said the European Department of the industry as to benefit from the depreciation of the euro, it is relatively competitive in the quote, but rather cross industry because of the limited pressure on the euro, has been unable to cut the price to make it past advantage of the most competitive prices generate passive, no doubt is still waiting, sent shockwaves through the industry sides.

After the next cut subsidies in Germany, outside the supply chain does appear to move competitively priced passive Asian district? Solar energy industry that this trend no doubt, because the German system is the way the industry to reduce capacity in Europe, actively producing lines to Asia, and a considerable proportion of the industry from mainland China for OEM production, HP battery  now seems to be is to benefit from exchange rate fluctuations, wielding the low prices.

European system of solar system works frankly, because Ashkenazi plants offer has always been more than two sides industry high, orders will flow to Asia, the first 3 quarters, if Ashkenazi factory price down to the cross-industry rather, it will make a lot of European Department of the module and system Plant can not accept the European order flow forecast will be changed.

Department of solar battery plant in Europe, including Germany’s Q-Cells, Solarworld, Schottensolar, Schottsolar, etc. In fact, many industry dominated by vertically integrated distribution, while the Taiwan-based Toshiba battery  factory, most of the professional factory including Motech, Yu Jing, the new solar and other mainland vertical integrated plant, including Suntech, Yingli, Trina Solar, Lin Yang, Jing and Australia.
