Europe's largest photovoltaic company, the German solar industry leader "Solar World" (Solarworld) company recently announced bankruptcy.
     "The SolarworldAG management committee has done a lot of hard work, but unfortunately there is no company that has continued to decline in performance, and now the company is heavily indebted and has to apply to the court for bankruptcy proceedings," he said. Founder and chief executive Frank Frank Asbeck's statement in public will directly lead to the bankruptcy of the company's responsibility to the Chinese enterprises. He said: "Chinese manufacturers 'illegal low - priced dumping' led to bankruptcy.
However, the market institutions did not buy it, have pointed out that the global PV module average production cost is 0.34 euros per watt, and Solarworl PV module production costs reached 0.46 euros per watt, no competitiveness at all.
In fact, Solarworld bankruptcy is just the tip of the iceberg, in recent years, the international solar energy company has been a series of collapse of the global PV industry dilemma is more need to be vigilant.
Overcapacity oversupply
     "In recent years, the global PV industry are not the economy, even if it is much Europe and the United States enterprises 'accused' of China's photovoltaic business, the day is not better than you can see China's US PV companies listed on the stock price, How much to a glance. "PricewaterhouseCoopers thinking of China's energy and public utilities strategy consulting business leader Shan Xiaohu told the International Business Daily reporter.
Shan Xiaohu and Zhuo Chong Consulting New Energy analyst Feng Haicheng agreed that the current problem of global PV industry is a serious overcapacity. Feng Haicheng told the International Business Daily reporter, the global emission reduction background and national policy support for the new energy industry led to a large number of photovoltaic industry launched a new project, but when the enterprise in the upstream to follow a large number of investment, the downstream capacity of the digestion channel has not been broadened, Side of this imbalance.
Monsoon also said that the digestion of photovoltaic industry capacity is the need for conditions, both the need for government policies and subsidies to support, but also need to network and other technical support, but capital and capital has always concentrated in the photovoltaic industry chain upstream, more complex, more Long, low return rate of the downstream industry chain is fresh people interested.
In addition, Feng Haicheng added, coupled with the global economy in the crisis has always been difficult to achieve a comprehensive recovery, business start is limited, industrial electricity demand is difficult to increase, making the photovoltaic industry demand for further shrinking.
Data show that as of 2008, Germany is the world's leading photovoltaic industry, the world's market share of the world's first. However, after 2008, as more and more countries began to launch PV projects, the strong competition in the German photovoltaic industry began to decline, from the end of 2013, the German solar energy industry has no more than 5,000 jobs. The old global photovoltaic industry giant German photovoltaic industry almost completely bankrupt. 2011 German PV leading enterprise QCell declared bankruptcy, was Hanwha acquisition, after Solon, solar millennium, Sovello, Conergy, Odersun also also declared bankruptcy. Bosch and Siemens sold or stopped the solar business. Now the only surviving big company SolarWorld also declared bankruptcy.
The Chinese market is temporarily safe
      Since the production process is the whole industry, then the development of photovoltaic enterprises in China is still safe? After all, as of the end of 2016, China's photovoltaic industry, the new installed capacity is still considerable.
PricewaterhouseCoopers recently released the "China Clean Energy and Technology Industry Investment Research Report" pointed out that as of the end of 2016, China's new installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation 34.54 million kilowatts, the cumulative installed capacity of 77.42 million kilowatts, new and cumulative Installed capacity is the world's first.
In this regard, single small tiger analysis, 2016 China's photovoltaic power generation capacity of the new capacity growth is obvious, mainly because the country on the photovoltaic grid benchmark price and subsidies under the policy adjustment caused by rush, not the Chinese business fever flocked The product of investment.
     In fact, after years of development, Feng Haicheng that the Chinese PV companies on the industry prospects and their own level has a very rational understanding, but also gradually clear the background of the excess capacity of the PV industry is facing difficulties, good in China PV market But also with the European and American PV market can not match the advantages, so the Chinese PV market is not yet the impact of the global PV industry reshuffle, fairly safe.
Shan Xiaohu pointed out that the biggest advantage of China's PV market is the development of distributed photovoltaic power generation installed capacity, because China's industrial development preferred industrial park and cluster mode, which is the best application of distributed photovoltaic power generation model. Compared with the traditional photovoltaic power plant, distributed photovoltaic power generation installed capacity of small, fast return, very conducive to maintaining the smooth flow of photovoltaic enterprises.
