Photovoltaic Battery Quotes continued to increase

Solar PV prices continue to bottom, but the industry's anti-cold voice is also growing. First-line solar energy industry makers frankly stated that under recent production and inventory adjustments, they no longer rush to follow up on bargain prices, especially when many unreasonable low prices are present. Crisis operators, so recently maintained at $ 0.5 per watt checkpoint, is no longer arbitrarily orders, but the photovoltaic market is expected to consider the issue of annual reports, the price is still difficult to check at the end of the year.

As the oversupply problem has not been solved, solar PV battery prices have continued to bottom out. However, although the industry supply chain industry has been unable to resist the trend of falling prices, the awareness of confrontation has increased with the continuous reduction of prices, and the first-line solar photovoltaic cells Industry operators point out that the price of low prices has recently been rushed to follow up.

Photovoltaic battery manufacturers said that these continuously low offer prices are actually triggered by the lack of cash or simply faced with the exit of the industry. Following the jump of building a bargain will only cause losses and operating pressures. Therefore, the capacity utilization rate is already in use. And for effective adjustments in inventory, coupled with careful selection of customers, quotes maintained better than generally perceived low prices.

Photovoltaic cells below about US$0.5/watt currently do not intend to take orders. Most of them are interacting with customers in Europe, America, Japan, and in particular, invest in technology research with clients and provide customers with quality assurance. The battery maker points out that if it is a price jump Out, the client is also difficult to get some of the guarantee and quality of service. Content from the photovoltaic portal news website Global photovoltaic network if the polysilicon is estimated at 20 US dollars per kilogram, 0.5 US dollar quotes can barely maintain the operation, if it reaches 0.4 US dollars, equipment depreciation, labor costs, etc. are all sacrificed, and the gross profit margin is about -20 %, but also must be in the production yield 100%, the conversion efficiency to achieve 16.8% of the requirements of the operation only have this condition, the price of $ 0.4 to the battery industry to do more than compensate.

Unless the pressure on cash is high, then to follow up the bargaining price and continue to lose money will only make the cash in the hands get more and more rolling, but it will not be conducive to long-term operation. Of course, most of the photovoltaic industry cannot effectively determine when the market clearing stocks will end, and even the demand will be difficult. In the short term, there is improvement, but keeping down capacity utilization and retaining cash now appears to be more secure than losing money. However, there are also solar energy companies who think that at the end of the year for the annual report, I am afraid there will still be a clear tide, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to stick to the $0.5 or more level.

Domestic solar PV vertical integration plants include Suntech, Yingli, Artes, Trina Solar, and JA Solar. Compared to most solar energy companies in Taiwan, the majority of the domestic market with the highest heat in the past experienced a reduction in production or production suspension due to market pressure. Even more “dramatic”, except that the first-tier vertical integration plants have been reported to have financial pressure and may face bankruptcy, the second-line or third-line plant's production stoppages and appearances continued.

In particular, it has been affected by the financial environment and has accelerated the exodus of some industry players. Domestic media reported that the owner of Datang Technologies, a recent Yixing solar energy plant, fled with huge sums of money, mainly investing heavily in solar cells and modules in the past two years. In 2011, it encountered severe downturns. As a result, the cash flow is not working well, and similar situations such as Zhejiang, Wenzhou and other similar situations have been reported in the near future.
