Ministry informed the operation of the first half of China's photovoltaic industry

Ingot, pull rods, sliced ​​development of photovoltaic manufacturing sector stabilization and recovery, photovoltaic inverter manufacturing sectors, such as supporting the development has also been getting better and better, part of the backbone enterprises increased orders and entered full production. First half of the wafer yield about 15GW, up flat; processing costs continued to decline, has been reduced to $ 0.11 / W or less. PV inverter output of about 2.9GW, an increase of over 60%.

Global PV market continues to grow, focus to China, Japan, and the United States transfers. Half of the global PV market demand 16GW, an increase of 9%. Which our country about 2.8GW, Japan about 3GW, Germany, approximately 1.9GW, U.S. 1.6GW, four countries account for about 60% of the total. Overall upward trend in demand is expected to increase global annual installed capacity will reach 35GW, which the European approximately 10GW, of about 8GW, Japan, about 5GW, the United States about 3.5GW, market focus gradually from Europe to China, Japan, and the United States transfers.

Rapid expansion of the domestic market and network issues remain a bottleneck restricting the development of the market. The first half of 2.8GW installed capacity of 1.5GW from last year, with the second batch of golden sun and photovoltaic construction, 1.3GW of large-scale photovoltaic power plants; annual installed capacity is expected to reach 8GW, including large-scale photovoltaic power plants 5GW, Golden Sun demonstration project 2GW, distributed generation demonstration area 1GW. But PV power plant construction cycle is not synchronized with the power grid, power grid development planning coordination will continue to be the key to further expand the domestic market.

The progressive realization of photovoltaic applications the user side grid parity by policy-driven to market-driven transition. Germany, Italy and other countries are constantly traditional  SUNGOLDPOWER photovoltaic solar subsidy cuts or establishing maximum installed capacity, but with the rapid decline in product prices, some countries have achieved the user side PV grid parity, the application will be policy-driven to market-driven changes.

In mid-July 2013, "the State Council on promoting the healthy development of photovoltaic industry a number of opinions" (Guo Fa [2013] No. 24, hereinafter referred to as "views") has been officially released, and regulate the development of photovoltaic industry, the expansion of domestic applications market, and promote industrial transformation and upgrading work to do a co-ordinate the deployment. According to "opinions" spirit, departments are actively working to accelerate and promote PV manufacturing industry norms conditions, the implementation of corporate mergers and acquisitions advice PV, photovoltaic standard system, photovoltaic disbursement of funds management practices related to subsidies and other supporting policies and measures developed and implemented .

As China South Korea polysilicon "dual" preliminary ruling, EU PV "double reverse" reached a preliminary settlement, the domestic PV market accelerated start, etc., continue to improve the external environment of industrial development, the second half of the overall development of China's photovoltaic industry is expected to stabilize rebound. According to the China Photovoltaic Industry Alliance estimates, expects 2013 production of about 80,000 tons of polysilicon, the battery module production will exceed 23GW, new PV installed capacity will exceed 8GW.
