quarterly production capacity in Q3A? 10 passed the barrier of GW for the first time drive investment spending PV to support a new record for the new version Solarbuzz ® PV systems Quarterly, a report of 200 slides on trends in PV systems with socket manufacturer of mobile phone data.


Costs for equipment

record earnings, with c-Si module and block to spending over 0.9 thin film panel B. In particular, if served the main types of c-Si-editing tool (etching, passivation, radio and print) on a quarterly basis more addressable market size 0M. C-Si cells and the development of thin-film panel is Q4a next? 10 should have quarterly with a further 1.3 GW of capacity ramp online.

â? Chinese and Taiwanese, c-Si cell manufacturers are at an unprecedented pace of record demand in 2010, driven behind a development? Finlay Colville noted, principal analyst at Solarbuzz. â? This wave of capacity expansion drives the level of investment at record levels Quarterly, resulting in strong earnings growth of large companies processing tool to report the PV industry for 1 HA? 10.a p ????

â? While c-Si capacity expansion of cells in China and Taiwan continue to qualify c-tool vendors, if basic processes in Europe and North America, the cost of thin layers remaining institutions enjoy more of thin-film type absorber, the substrate, the supply chain and production region, a fragmented? Colville added.

Solarbuzz PV equipment provides quarterly forecasts of quantitative analysis and 5 years, trends in technology, capacity expansion, productivity and demand fab to equipment reflect, while the representation of waiting of the main challenges to cells c-Si and device manufacturers to thin . In 2011, the manufacturer of c-Si cell before, product offerings to the new high-address c-Si cell enlargement, while the tool vendors have a thin window of opportunity of the second round of spending thin film reaches its climax.

Q3A? 10 increases capacity by manufacturers dominated c-Si

Capacity expansion in

Q3A? 10 was strongly oriented advanced c-Si cells, providing further evidence that the production of c-Si cells is a process of maturity of the eligible equipment developed readily available. new cell lines c-Si contributed a staggering 95% of the capacity of 1.12 GW in Q3A posted quarterly? 10 compared with only 5% of all types of thin-film modules.

also made China and Taiwan producer cells for 80% additional capacity. C-standard cell types If new lines dominated ramp for Q3A? 10, is a manufacturer of c-Si cells to process tools process flow employs qualified low risk return in these factories. Standard cell lines accounted for 78% of new capacity of c-Si during the quarter, distribute the remaining 22% in high-performance variants. C-Si high level decision makers continue to explore options to implement the high efficiency, with 221 MW of new quarterly magazine includes incremental improvements or dedicated line concepts of selective emitter.


Investment

cell lines c-Si reaches 2M in Q3A? 10

equipment investment in cell lines c-Si in Q3A? 10 was 2M, 5% Q / Q, after peaking Q2A? 10 8M. Tool expenses, the manufacturer of c-Si cells, such as China Sunergy, DelSolar, Gintech, JA Solar, Motech, Suntech and solar technology has been dominated, but the industry has seen significant contributions from new competitors in China, including Hareon including solar – Jinko Solar, LDK Solar, ReneSola. China and Taiwan are now a combination of 72% of all investments in the amount of c-Si cells during the 12-month trailing period. With tools process of normalization in strong demand, suppliers of c-Si, such as Applied Materials, Amtech, Centrotherm, shipping, and Roth & Rau were among the main beneficiaries during the quarter.


Capital expenditure

thin film increased by 53% Q / Q, won a new investment cycle of thin layers of capital goods traction. Tool spending in this segment remains highly fragmented, reacted with a wide range of tools and supply chain during the quarter. This is partly driven the cost CIGS Which tool? While more than 0M and the return of 165% Y / Y growth? Was spread over a wide range of variations of the absorption rate, substrate and procedures.

equipment investment is for the die-c-Si cell when Q4a strong? 10, but with a growing stable to negative. Conversely, the cycle of spending in thin layers, its growth will hold up, since existing tool delays in a variety of thin-film companies worldwide fabs will increase for the first time. However, decrease the PV systems revenue expected in 2011 that the threat of excess capacity effects of the expansion plans of the leading providers of cell and panels.

The first issue features Solarbuzz PV systems with a total capacity quarterly and database production with Solarbuzz? s industry knowledge of property and a 200-slide PowerPoint report with a detailed analysis of trends in technology and equipment. All data and analysis is based on an updated quarterly and includes all development activities and expenditure by quarter closed immediately.
