Excerpts from the Report
Japan
Multi-Crystalline Silicon solar cells and modules dominated the solar PV market with 52% of the market share in the total capacity of shipments. The market share of this technology has decreased over time as companies are switching over to thin wafer silicon technology. Single Crystalline silicon is the second largest market segment with the contribution of 32.8% in the total shipment power in 2010.
Australia
Australia’s renewable energy market is dominated by Hydro energy which commanded a market share of 63.4% in 2010 with the total electricity generation of 13,793 MWh. Wind energy is the second largest segment which generated 4,985 MWh of electricity in 2010 and held the market share of 22.9%. Bio-energy is another upcoming source of electricity generation which has witnessed an incline in its market share. The solar PV segment generated 464 MWh of electricity in 2010 with the market share of 2.1%.
China
China has a moderate capacity utilization ratio of 53% in terms of output of polysilicon material. China generated 45,000 tons of polysilicon wafers in 2010 comparative to the capacity of 85,000 tons. The market is currently dominated by the multi-crystalline and single crystalline technology. About 11 GW of solar cells were produced in 2010.
Asia Pacific solar PV market is poised to gain momentum in its installed capacity as the grid development progresses in the future. Under the normal business conditions, new and upcoming policy schemes in India, China and Australia will drive the PV installations demand in the region while policy transitions in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan will stimulate the domestic market. Several innovative Asia pacific companies are expected to build new solar power farms in the region which will commercialize the clean electricity and will aid the market to approach towards grid parity. The cumulative installed capacity is expected to increase to ~ MW in 2011 and is projected to quadruple itself to ~ MW by 2015.
