Examine the Global and China Solar Polysilicon Industry 2008, Including Data on the Main Manufacturers and Consumption Market

Posted on: Wednesday, 10 September 2008, 00:00 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/552333/global_and_china_s) has announced the addition of the "Global and China Solar Polysilicon Industry Chain Report, 2008" report to their offering.

The rising price of oil is pushing the solar energy industry towards new highs. People are choosing fuel ethanol, solar water heaters and solar batteries. Solar polysilicon especially has a bright future.

Today the markets for solar power are mainly concentrated in the USA, Germany, Japan, Korea and Spain. Meanwhile, the supply of high purity crystalline silicon is dominated by few giants such as Hemlock, Wacker and Tokuyama. Among the application fields of solar energy, China grasps the mature technology in solar water heaters; however, China is as enthusiastic as any other country to explore and develop the solar PV industry.

In 2006, the output of solar battery in China was 438MWP, accounting for 17.1% of the world total. In 2007, the output of solar battery in China surpassed Japan and the USA, reached 1088MWP, becoming the biggest producer in the world.

The price of polysilicon in China keeps rising, from 25 to 40 USD per kilogram in 2001- 2003, to 200 USD per kilogram in 2006; its average price reached 300 USD per kilogram in 2007. In late 2007 or early 2008, price of polysilicon hit an all time high of 400 USD per kilogram.

When deciding on an investment plan for solar polysilicon, Chinese manufacturers generally have the following problems: lacking core technology, low-level repetitive constructions and incomplete industry chain mix etc. Today, parts of the key equipments still rely on imports. For example, casting furnace, wire cutting machine tool and PECVD etc.

Key Topics Covered: - Brief Introduction to Solar Polysilicon Industry - Status Quo of Solar Polysilicon Market - Main Manufacturers of Polysilicon - Main Manufacturers of Silicon Ingot and Patch - Solar Battery, Module and System - Consumption Market of Solar Battery - List of Charts Companies Mentioned Include: - Hemlock Semiconductor - Wacker Chemie - Tokuyama - MEMC Electronic Materials - REC - Ningxia Sunshine Silicon Co., Ltd - Shunda Semiconductor Development Co., Ltd. - Linghai Jinhua Smelting Co., Ltd - Sichuan Chaolei Industry Co., Ltd. - ScanWafer(REC) - Deutsche Solar - M.Setek - Kyocera - BP Solar - PV Crystalox - Shell Solar - JFE Steel - Renesola - JSC Pillar - Wafer World - IB Vogt GmbH - LG Siltron - Maharishi Solar Technology Pvt.
