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."

- RLi 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
 
Introduction

Located in the asian pacific region, Taiwan PV market plays an important role of cell supplier with a number of important global suppliers. Its CPV market also takes place in a similar pattern along with European market. Even though the global financial crisis is affecting the Taiwan market, it is still occupying an important position, and information about this market is still essential for many companies involved in the solar business.

 

Within the current severe market shuffle, holistic market information has become, if not impossible, incredibly hard to obtain. Adding to the difficulty of the task is the huge amount of information (and misinformation) in various media.

 

ENF has gathered information from the source through telephone interviews with all Taiwan manufacturers of cells and panels. The network of contacts and experience that ENF continues to build up in making other reports each year allows us to provide excellent insight into all players in the market. This report has taken 8 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   manufacturers etc. wanting to sell to these companies

- Purchasing departments of system integrators, installers, distributors and wholesalers, power companies   and panel manufacturers wanting to buy from these companies

- Marketing/strategy managers who need a detailed and accurate understanding of the market trends and   players

- Cell & Panel manufacturers wanting to use the data to make better investment decisions
