China suppliers of solar panels and power systems are preparing for a challenging business period. Although exports for the year are expected to remain on an upward track, the pace will be considerably slower than in 2010.
Last year, the industry saw sales from overseas deliveries of PV cells and modules surge more than 200 percent to exceed $20 billion. In the first four months of 2011, YoY growth slowed to 103 percent.
Among the issues of concern are the cuts several EU members are implementing in their feed-in tariffs for large PV installations. Many suppliers are worried these reductions will dampen demand from the bloc, which is currently the largest market for solar cells and related technologies.
This report covers the major products of China's solar panels and power systems industry, namely crystalline and thin-film modules, and fixed and portable versions.
