Impact on PV market was somewhat exaggerated

Solar. UA. - European standard solar modules are already in Ukraine, the highest quality and most attractive conditions for the supply.

As noted in the. study of RBC ... The global financial crisis almost. did not affect the development of the industry. If during the second quarter of 2009. some experts have predicted about the excess of supply over demand, in the second half of the year, such claims have stopped.

From the world leaders - the solar PV customers only Spain has reduced the size of government support, and even set a maximum amount of annual installed capacity of 500 MW. For comparison: in 2007. the country had solar panels installed about 660 MW, while in 2008. Spain literally blew up the world market - the amount of installed capacity amounted to more than 2.5 gigawatts! .

The global financial crisis, even to some extent helped the development of photovoltaic. As a result of the crisis shares many companies in the industry have dropped significantly in 2009. That forced the process of industry consolidation. Although this process is to some extent passed, and before that, but it is for the current year fell the most significant transactions.

Thus, by year-end closing. acquisition of Sanyo. (one of the leading manufacturers of solar cells ) by Panasonic. Estimated value of the transaction - $ 4.5 billion. Although it is currently unknown plans Panasonic, but the most likely areas of solar photovoltaics can be greatly expanded - the company can integrate solar panels into household appliances.
