Crystal silicon solar cell equipment market turned into supply driver

In 2013, China's solar cell equipment continued to be affected by overcapacity in the photovoltaic market, and sales of solar cell equipment continued to fall. Although the photovoltaic industry has ushered in a solid rebound under the strong start of the domestic market, the photovoltaic enterprises that are now expanding are different from the enterprises that expanded in 2010, and the production capacity will not be advanced. At the same time, PV companies must expand their production when they are profitable (pre-payment for ordering equipment, pre-production costs for expansion). Therefore, the solar cell equipment industry has a relatively significant lag.

China's crystalline silicon solar cell equipment continued to slump in 2013

According to the statistics of 15 major manufacturers of crystalline silicon solar cell equipment in China (two solar cell equipment manufacturers withdrew in 2013): 1155 units were sold in 2013, down 36.64% year-on-year; sales revenue was 1.315 billion yuan, down 48.1 year-on-year. %.

China's 15 major crystalline silicon solar cell equipment manufacturers, sales revenue of crystalline silicon material growth processing equipment in 2013 was 529 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 52.6%. The sales revenue of crystalline silicon solar cell chip manufacturing equipment was 786 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 44.5%.

There are three major problems in China's crystalline silicon solar cell equipment

After 10 years of tempering, China's crystalline silicon solar cell equipment enterprises have initially provided complete supply capacity from crystalline silicon growth, silicon wafer processing to solar cell chip production, and in the domestic crystalline silicon solar cell equipment production line, the amount of polycrystalline silicon battery Production efficiency also reached 17.6%. However, compared with the international advanced level, China's crystalline silicon solar cell equipment industry still has shortcomings in development. The main problems are as follows: First, there are still gaps in the stability and reliability of China's crystalline silicon solar cell equipment. This is mainly due to the lack of process technology and the level of process technology in China's parts and components. At present, the key components used in China's crystalline silicon solar cell equipment are either not available in China or cannot meet technical requirements and can only rely on imported products.

Second, in terms of the types of crystalline silicon solar cell equipment, we have not been able to achieve complete self-support. Such as silicon wafer cutting equipment, polycrystalline silicon battery, wet etching equipment and automatic inserter equipment, etc., also rely mainly on imported products.

Third, the degree of automation of the equipment is low, which not only affects the production capacity but also makes it difficult to reduce the cost. For the future development of the photovoltaic industry, we must take a large-scale automated production method in the future. To this end, foreign research on photovoltaic automated battery production lines has already begun, and currently has the ability to build automated production lines, and China is still in the research stage.

In 2014, China's sales of crystalline silicon solar cell equipment will go out of the trough

First of all, global photovoltaic power generation is expected to continue to expand this year, the Chinese market will continue to grow, and domestic demand will drive the recovery of China's photovoltaic equipment market.

In 2014, a group of companies with core competitiveness will further become bigger and stronger. PV demand will continue to grow due to falling prices, integration of manufacturers and a more balanced supply and demand relationship. The PV industry will transform from a demand-constrained market to a typical supply-driven market in 2014. PV module production is expected to increase by 7.7% in 2014. From the analysis of the economic operation of major solar equipment manufacturers in the first quarter, the solar cell equipment industry will gradually begin to recover in the second half of 2014, and it is expected to grow slightly in the fourth quarter.

Secondly, the upgrade and update of crystalline silicon solar cell equipment will be the highlight of this year's market, and low-end equipment will withdraw from the market.

A new batch of crystalline silicon solar cell equipment developed in 2013 (online wet etching equipment, vacuum diffusion furnace, ALD atomic layer deposition Al2O3 passivation film equipment, ultra-fine grid printing equipment, fully automatic solar cell test points) The selection of machines, etc.), the new equipment will enter the market in 2014, which not only makes the production capacity and conversion efficiency of the solar cell production line significantly improved, but also causes the cost of solar cells to continue to decline.
