The eu anti-dumping untenable photovoltaic products in China

Through the repeated consultations and negotiations of both parties, especially in the premier li keqiang, China's DC TO AC products lose the European Union trade disputes didn't walk into a dead end.

In spite of this, the European commission has announced the preliminary antidumping investigation against Chinese photovoltaic products as a result, will perform two months temporary tax rate of 11.8%, and is likely to impose anti-dumping tax rate of 47.6%.

I think, the European Union to the practice insufficiency, lack of legitimacy, is untenable.

Photovoltaic products price decline is a global trend

In recent years, China's exports to European photovoltaic products prices do tend to be lower, and lower than most European rivals. This is mainly there are several reasons:

First of all, global excess capacity and a glut on the market is the root cause of the lower prices of grid connected inverter products.

In 2011, the global solar module production capacity up to 50 gw, but global demand only 24 gigawatts (gw), the average price 44% lower than a year ago; In 2012, the global solar module production capacity reached 60 gigawatts (gw).

Photovoltaic products from the product features, like the electronic products, the price reduction will likely become a long-term trend.

After comparison to see, not only China's photovoltaic products price is lower, other countries imported photovoltaic products prices are also falling, the eu exports to China in recent years, photovoltaic products prices also fell sharply.

Second, comprehensive production cost lowering China's photovoltaic products with strong price competitiveness of the main reasons.

Like other export products, is China's photovoltaic industry with labor costs, etc advantages, in recent years, China's pv industry pays attention to technological progress, improve the mass production, further reducing the costs of production.

With Chinese enterprise components, for example, power 285 w, create and maintain the world record, and 500 mw production line has been built and put into production.

China pv enterprises in silicon, metallurgical grade polysilicon ingot manufacturing technology, highly efficient solar cell technology has reached international advanced level, has established a certain advantage.

Third, imports of raw materials prices down China's photovoltaic products can be the important reason for the declining price.

The photovoltaic component enterprises in China mainly rely on imports of raw materials, main raw material for polysilicon prices have tumbled over the past few years, by 2008 nearly $2008 / kg, fell to $100 / kg, 2009, 2010 fell to $50 / kg, the lowest this year fell to $15 / kg.

Cost of raw material cost reduced greatly promote the pv cells price decline, and the eu is also China pv enterprises one of the main sources of raw materials.
