2013 Top 500 Chinese PV manufacturers get the job half

Recently released online Top 500 (2013 Chinese listed companies). PV industry is still in this year's show from downstream to upstream to pick up signs. The list of component manufacturers more than halved compared to last year, ranking companies on the list also appeared to decline.
Ranks in the middle of the list last year, and Suntech and LDK, respectively, due to their own debt woes facing missed this list, while last year ranked 334 JA Solar and ranked 488 Hanwha Energy also failed in a difficult market environment into this 500 list. The list of the photovoltaic cell and module manufacturers, including Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited, Changzhou Trina Solar Energy Co., Ltd and Guodian Artes solar photovoltaic parent Guodian Technology & Environment Group Corporation Limited. The former three listed companies in the United States were ranked declined.

In addition, the business involves the photovoltaic industry and into 2013 China top 500 list of companies also includes the main silicon ingots and wafers GCL-Poly Energy Holdings Limited and has a photovoltaic inverter and power stations downstream business TBEA Co. company. Two companies ranking list basically maintained the same level as last year.

Contrast, this year's market trends, basically showing more signs of recovery downstream sooner. Although the number of distributed PV and other favorable policies to develop and publish seem to keep his own leisurely pace, but the earnest voice in the market, the State Department's latest views on the photovoltaic industry, "eight" has been recently released, in which the future 3 per year 10GW target is still to the people stated this piece of emerging market potential. According to TBEA 2012 report, its 2012 revenues constitute the transformer accounted for 44.45%, accounting for 22.81% of wire and cable, photovoltaic products and supporting projects accounted for 12.04%, construction revenue accounted for 10.18% of the contract works. Despite last year's photovoltaic business dragged down by the performance of the company, but the company still continues to this force in the PV downstream. Company recently announced plans to invest more than 15 billion yuan to build eight solar projects with a total installed capacity of 149MW, and these projects have access to local Development and Reform Commission for approval.

Attention turned to the upstream, 2013 components and battery manufacturers are "excess capacity" in the market environment, a ray of hope, according to a report recently released Solarbuzz 2013 total global PV demand is expected to reach 35GW, than in 2012 increased by approximately 15%; while at the same time, in 2013 global PV module production capacity is expected to grow only more than 2012 less than 2%, thus improving the industry average capacity utilization. Some first-tier manufacturers of photovoltaic even a shortage situation. As proof of this assertion, Yingli, Trina and Artes in 2013 a quarter have suffered a net loss decreased, and have said it will strive to year deficits. Artes which is only a quarter net loss of $ 4.4 million, its chief executive, Dr. Qu Xiaohua optimistic forecasts in a conference call the company will return to full-year 2013 earnings are expected to return to profitability in the first line PV manufacturing providers.

The polysilicon industry outlook still does not seem clear, the Chinese have good day for Europe and the United States imports of polysilicon dual investigation of news, but also because a few days ago came the double polysilicon to Europe but will not be greatly reduced. Although polysilicon prices have stopped falling, but its stock price has already racking domestic polysilicon manufacturer's profit margins. China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association on Chinese domestic polysilicon manufacturers an analysis is that the first half of 2013 there are only six companies are producing polysilicon.

Overcapacity caused by the current crisis in the photovoltaic industry, and only in the terminal market supply and demand balance to be eased. Therefore, signs of recovery from downstream to upstream transfer is normal. SINO photovoltaic solar lighting hope more companies to the development of the photovoltaic industry, deep, fine research and development, rather than simply producing cells such low-tech products like raw materials, and hope to have more PV companies can bail out of the year, or go back to 500 next year's list.
