Be Careful Of Market Ambushers

Recently when you Google Solar Panels in Alibaba the largest B2B platform you would probably find a lot of solar panel distributors in Korea, China and Taiwan. A small amount of them I can guarantee that never exist while a certain amount of them are ambushers or very small brokers.

Today somebody told me that some factory (if there is any) is selling in a world remarkable low price. Wow.

What I am suggesting here, is, for USA and Europe buyers, before you get your cheque out of pocket, check the background of that company. Email the sales representative of the company and telephone them. Get your feelings about their reliability. Always remember, it is not worth to get yourself into trouble after one or two years because you want to save 5 cents per W. You do need a reliable manufacturer to guarantee the products warranty!

Solar Cells Sale In China

Today the Chinese Solar industry has seen rapid growth ever. According to 2007 Deep Research Report on China Solar cell industry，2006 China Solar Cell Shipment was 400.9 W，Increased 237.74% than 118.7MW in 2005，and reached 1021.5 MW in 2007 estimatively，increased 154.8% than 2006.

About the revenue: 2006 China Solar Cell revenue was 1251.4 Million USD，Increased 264.5% than 343.3 Million USD in 2005，and est. reached 3188.6 Million USD in 2007，increased 154.8% than 2006.

About utilization: the total solar cell utilization of China is 27.36 in 2005, 34.24% in 2006, about 41.61% in 2007, est. 76.99 in 2012; the low utilization during 2005 and 2006 mainly because the following two reasons: first, the expansion of solar cell manufacture capacity is fast; second, the shortage of solar cell raw material(wafer or polysilicon) is tremendous.

In this blog we dedicated to provide you with the updated information about the booming solar cell market.

Solar power generation technology is founded upon silicon, a common element that comprises approximately 25% of the earth’s crust by mass. When light falls on high purity silicon, the PV (photovoltaic) effect causes the release of electrons from the silicon atoms. When silicon is fashioned into a solar cell with collection electrodes, the PV effect generates an electrical current.

Solar cells are produced from raw silicon materials in a multistage process. Firstly raw quartzite sand is processed into bulk silicon, which is subsequently melted and formed into blocks or ‘ingots’. The ingots are cut and sliced to produce ‘wafers’ which form the basis of a solar cell. Solar cell manufacturers add electrodes to the wafer for electrical connectivity. The wafers are then cleaned and treated prior to their introduction into the manufacturing process.

The increased awareness on renewable energy and climate change has led to demand of solar power elements outstripping supply with Government subsidies and falling costs and prices continuing to support the industry growth. Many companies had already begun to produce massive solar cells to fulfill the thirsty market.
