Polycrystalline silicon continues in great demand in 2008For recently 2 to 3 years, due to the fast development of thePVIndustry, the spot price of solar energy polycrystallinesiliconhas gone up very fast.On the other hand, the scale-up plan has been delayedamongthePolycrystalline Silicon Enterprise in the Lower ReachesofYangtzeRiver is an important reason for the price rise. Asthenewtechnology are not so stable and other reasons, theworld’sthirdbiggest polycrystalline silicon producer, NorwayRECCompany,announced that they have to put-off the newfactoryscale-up planand adjust lower output target in 2008 by12.5%. Thenew factoryscale-up plan of the mainstreampolycrystalline siliconproducergoes on unsmooth which leads theshortagemarketsdeterioration. Same as others industries, the windfall profitattractsmanycompanies to accede in polycrystalline siliconindustry.Accordingto the statistic, the layout for investment indomesticannouncedto be more than 80 thousands ton. But we believe,solarenergypolycrystalline silicon produce is a high-input,high-techandlong-period industry. Some international factories alsoneed2years to put into production and almost 4-5 years tototallygetthe production, although they have mature technologyandmassproduction experiences. It's unlikely for ourdomesticenterpriseto put into mass production in 1 or 2 years inthispolycrystallinesilicon project.
Therefore, Polycrystalline siliconwillcontinuein great demand in 2008.Web: www.wwteq.com
