DisplaySearch: 09 global solar capacity will grow 56%

With the flat panel display market research and technology more than 13 years of research experience and research framework, DisplaySearch has officially entered the solar cell industry, technology and market research, and formally announced today the first issue of DisplaySearch report --- solar industry worldwide solar cell production capacity of the database and Trend Quarterly Report (Quarterly PV Cell Capacity Database & Trends Report).

According to DisplaySearch released in the third quarter of 2009 the global solar cell production capacity of the database and Trend quarterly report, the global solar cell (Solar Cell) of production capacity will grow 56% over last year to reach 17GW (170 billion watts.) 2005 global production capacity only up to 2.3GW (23 billion watts), however, companies actively involved in the expansion around the world under the 2013 will grow to 42GW (420 billion watts.) The following photos for the global solar cell production forecast by the type of technology.

"Although the changes in the global economy and the national government subsidies to reduce the impact of the global solar cell module (Module) needs 17% decline in 2009, but because many solar cells (Cell) of the equipment has been order by the manufacturer, and in accordance with time-machines, with many manufacturers are still actively expanding in 2009, the global solar cell production capacity will continue to grow substantially 56%. "DisplaySearch dedicated solar energy industry is responsible for market and technology research Charles Annis said.

Annis further stated: "As the demand and capacity are inconsistent, the current solar industry is through over-supply crisis, and led to the module prices rapidly declining, and there may be many solar cells Cell manufacturers damage of combat, particularly in film technology than the giant firms affected. We expect next year's solar cell industry will experience a crisis of overcapacity in the industrial restructuring, the recovery in 2011 as demand, industry will have better prospects. "

DisplaySearch in the latest issue of the third quarter of 2009 the global solar cell production capacity of the database and Trend quarterly report, the other focus are summarized as follows:

1 up to 2006, Japan has the world's largest production capacity, the Chinese mainland manufacturers since 2005 actively into new plant capacity expansion, and in 2007 became the world's largest solar cell producer, and is expected in 2009, accounting for the global Solar Cell production capacity by one third.

2 2009 Film (Thin Film) solar cell production capacity of 3.58GW (35.8 billion watts), of which 30% of the use of 600mm x 1,200 mm substrate size; this size is antimony cadmium (CdTe) solar cells, the standard substrate size and First Solar is currently used by other manufacturers. Commonly known as 5 generations of 1,000 x 1,200 mm to 1,100 x 1,400 mm glass substrate production of thin film solar cells in the second, accounting for 18% of all films.

3 From January 2008 to July 2009 to date, the global total added 11.4GW (114 billion watts) of new solar cell production capacity, this huge demand for new capacity is 2009 in the case of poor productivity under substantial growth of 56% is still the main reason.

4 2005 years the global solar cell production line with 95% of crystallization, 5% of thin film technology. When in 2009 the global total production capacity of thin film technology is expected to reach 20% by 2013 is expected to grow to 30%.

5 for amorphous silicon (a-Si) production capacity in 2009, four major equipment supplier for the AMAT, Oerlikon, ULVAC, and EPV; the four equipment manufacturers for the supply of production capacity reached 946MW (9 亿 4,600 million W), which is half the capacity of all Si.

6 accordance with the 2009 global solar cell (Cell) capacity point of view, First Solar is the largest manufacturer, the production capacity of 10 gigawatts (1GW), Q-Cells and Suntech tied for second. In the next few years, the major investment in equipment also increased from the leader driven. DisplaySearch forecasts that by 2013, First Solar, Q-Cells, Suntech and other top three vendors, and JA Solar, Motech, REC, SunPower, Yingli, Showa Shell Solar and Sharp, etc., will be the world's top ten suppliers, together Its capacity will reach 16GW (160 billion watts), global production capacity by 2013 will account for 38%..
