Feedback on ENF's Cell & Panel Manufacturers Reports
"I have been using and purchasing information on the photovoltaics industry for nearly 25 years. I have well established sources and am skeptical of newcomers trying to sell reports - often without sufficient detail or rigor. I'm happy to say that ENF's new report meets my standards for quality of information and provides an excellent new source of information on the PV industry." - Bill Rever, Strategic Marketing Manager, BP Solar
"Thanks very much for your reports, I believe your reports are of great use to people in the PV industry. We used to collect and analyse this information by ourselves which consumed too much time. These reports by ENF definitely meet our requirements, and help us understand the industry better." - Li Wei, Director of Management Department, Yingli Solar
"Your report was very useful for us. We appreciate the Chinese market survey a lot." - Fabrizio Bonemazzi, Marketing Manager, ENEL
"Thanks again for the report, it has been very helpful for me in trying to come to a better understanding of the PV marketplace in China." - Bill McGrail, Business Development Manager, Guardian Industries Corp. "Thank you very much. I think you have collected very valuable information." - Dr. Tassos Golnas, Solar Technology Analyst, SunEdison. |
"Thanks to ENF's very interesting and comprehensive China-Report we gained a better overview of the Chinese market. It showed the market potential as well as the competitive environment. The detailed in-depth profiles helped us to evaluate which companies are conforming to our stipulated target group and enabled us to contact them directly. The report was worth its price in terms of quality and quantity and we are already curious about the upcoming edition."" - Robert Bürkle GmbH, Marketing, i.A. André Harter |
Introduction |
2008 has witnessed another booming year in the Chinese PV market, unfortunately only for half year. With the global financial crisis shrinking the market, the Chinese market is being radically altered. However, despite all this bad news, China is still occupying the No. 1 position as the largest manufacturing country of solar cells and panels, and information about this market is still essential for many companies involved in the solar business. ENF has gathered information from the source through telephone interviews with all Chinese manufacturers of cells and panels (plus ENF visited 22 manufacturer's factories in the survey period), to bring you the latest numbers on the market. As well as direct information collection, ENF also collected information on the Chinese cell & panel manufacturers from equipment manufacturers that supply to them (5 equipment manufacturers visited face-to-face, and a further 15 co-operated through phone calls). Together with ENF's previous reports, ENF was able to adjust the data given by some manufacturers to ensure much of the misinformation was filtered out from the report. In addition, ENF has completed a second round of data verification in February 2009 after the main round of data collection which was completed between September 2008 and December 2008. The additional round of post-financial crisis data review removed 635MWp of cell production & panel production from manufacturer's 2009 estimates and 1.1GWp of cell production & panel production from their 2010 estimates. This report is now in the 3rd edition, and the network of contacts and experience that ENF continues to build up in making this report each year allows us to provide excellent insight into all players in the market. This 3rd edition report has taken 22 man-months of time to complete, and has included many quality check steps to ensure that we are not only the most insightful source, but also the most accurate. The report is especially useful for: - Sales departments of equipment manufacturers, wafer & cell manufacturers, glass and EVA The full details of the report with example pages can be found below.
