StrategyAnalytics: III-V family of solar cells
StrategyAnalytics: III-V family of the rapid growth of solar cells by 2012 will account for 10% of the global PV market
Recent studies report predicts that the global PV market in 2008 will reach 20.2 billion in 2012 to grow to 35.2 billion U.S. dollars, the annual compound growth rate of 23%. Rapid growth from the global renewable energy market.
In the Dec. 9, at the "2009 Korea Green Energy Conference", Strategy Analytics Asif Anwar, GaAs Services director, said, "In 2008 the dominant crystalline silicon solar, share about 89%, but look to the future, its share will decline, mainly due to compound semiconductor thin film and intense competition. "" lower cost thin film solar cells, crystalline silicon does not consume, the traditional crystalline silicon solar manufacturers have started to pay attention thin film solar, such as Q-Cells and Sharp Corporation.
Mr. concluded: "III-V family of solar photovoltaic cells have a higher conversion efficiency and low amount of material advantages, so that by 2012 133% compound annual growth rate of the total market share of 10% .
MB that this year China will reach 6,000 tons of cobalt stocks
December 8 Xinhua news briefing according to British metal collection, this year China is about 6,000 tons of cobalt stock, equivalent to 1 times last year.
According to MB in the survey, said buyers of a cobalt salt, cobalt stocks this year, not including China, Jinchuan, but also still have 5000-6000 tons. Other people in the industry think that this year's stock should be 3000-4000 tons. And they estimated that the inventory in 2007 is 2,400 tons of cobalt.
According to a trader in Jiangsu Province, said to 11 the end of the Jinchuan holds the hands of 2,500 tons of cobalt inventory. There are already many people think that prices have hit bottom, and cobalt concentrate prices have dropped to 10 dollars or less.
Many in the industry claimed that the second half of weak demand, many manufacturers have cut production, some people even think that cobalt production has been shut down by half. He believes that many medium-sized companies have reduced production of 50-60%, while many small businesses have closed.
