Production and operation of photovoltaic industry in the first half of 2018

A summary, the industry continues to grow, according to the scale of China Photovoltaic Industry Association statistics, in 2018 from January to June, China's polysilicon production 143,000 tons, an increase of 24% or more; wafer production 50GW, an increase of 38.9%; solar cells production 39GW, up Growth 2...

I. Continued growth of industrial scale According to the statistics of China Photovoltaic Industry Association, from January to June 2018, China's polysilicon production was 143,000 tons, up 24% year-on-year; wafer production was 50GW, up 38.9% year-on-year; cell output was 39GW, up year-on-year. 21.9%; module production was 42GW, up 23.5% year-on-year. In the production of polysilicon enterprises in the first five months of the full or even super-production operation, the company's inventory increased in June, some companies to reduce production by scheduling maintenance, production has declined. More than 50% of the component link production is digested in the domestic market, and the average industry capacity utilization rate is around 76.5%.
Second, the market application remained stable Thanks to the continuous decline in costs and the expectation of domestic quota system, the investment willingness of PV power plants continued to increase. Even under the constraints of 531, the installed capacity in the first half of the year was still not inferior to last year. In the first half of 2018, the domestic newly installed PV installed capacity was about 24GW, which was basically the same as the same period of last year. The distributed installed capacity was about 12.24GW, a year-on-year increase of 72%. The new scale exceeded the centralized PV for the first time. The national photovoltaic power generation capacity was 82.39 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 59%; the national light rejection rate was 3.6%, down 3.2 percentage points year-on-year, and the abandoned photoelectric output was 3.04 billion kilowatts, down 7.1 billion kWh year-on-year. At the technical level, system integration technology is continuously optimized, and technologies such as high-capacity matching, tracking, double-sided, and photovoltaic+ are emerging one after another, and the application methods are more diversified.

Changes in product structure In the first half of 2018, the proportion of single crystal products increased significantly. Some polysilicon companies are subject to equipment, funds, etc. Factors have been discontinued or bankrupted, and there has been an acceleration trend since June. According to statistics, in the first half of the production of silicon wafers, monocrystalline silicon wafers have occupied 52.7%; in the production of solar cells, monocrystalline solar cells accounted for 41%. In 2017, China's monocrystalline silicon wafers and cell wafers accounted for 31% and 32.3%, respectively.
Fourth, the technical level continues to improve Polysilicon, the Asian silicon industry fluidized bed method made a breakthrough, the Yellow River, Xinhua and other electronic grade polysilicon to achieve shipments. In terms of silicon wafers, the long-crystal technology such as CCZ method, boro-gallium co-doping, and cast single crystal has developed rapidly, and the application range of diamond wire cutting has been further expanded. In terms of cell sheets, the industrialization of PERC technology is accelerating. Almost all single crystal cells adopt PERC process, and the average mass production efficiency of cell sheets is >21.8%. Polycrystalline PERC has begun to enter the industrialization stage, and the average mass production of cell wafers is ≥20.6%; -The type of PERC battery has begun to develop to double-sided batteries; industrial applications such as N-type and HIT have exceeded the expectations, and the development speed of MBB and double-sided technology has accelerated. In terms of components, shipments of double-glass and half-chip components began to increase. In terms of new batteries, the perovskite battery developed by the Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reached 23.3%, setting a new world record.
V. Product exports continue to grow In the first half of 2018, China's polysilicon imports were about 67,000 tons, down 4.3% year-on-year. The total exports of battery chips and modules from January to May 2018 was US$5.513 billion, an increase of 21.2% year-on-year. Among them, the export volume of battery chips was 353 million US dollars, the export value of components was 5.16 billion US dollars, and the export volume of components was about 16GW. China's export volume in 2012-2016 has been in a downward trend. It has achieved growth again in 2017. It continued to grow in January-May 2018, and it was achieved in the situation of continuous decline in product prices. This is mainly due to the release of China's overseas battery and module production capacity. These two links each have 8 GW of overseas production capacity, which has driven the export of silicon wafers and battery chips. At the same time, the pace of China's PV companies to explore the international market is further deepening. From the perspective of the export regional structure, the concentration continued to decrease. The export value of the top 10 countries accounted for 76%, down 7.6 percentage points year-on-year, and exports to emerging markets such as Australia, Mexico, Brazil, and the United Arab Emirates grew rapidly.

Sixth, the market price continued to decline due to the first quarter of the traditional installed off-season, and the Spring Festival in February, affecting the upstream production and downstream installed capacity in January and March, the market demand decline, coupled with the technological progress of the photovoltaic industry continues to advance, the price of photovoltaic products Continue to decline. In April, driven by the 630 grabs of some power stations, the price of polysilicon products rebounded to a certain extent, but the prices of silicon wafers, batteries and component products are still falling. Since June, some distributed projects have been shut down, and market demand has been in a vacuum. Some small and medium-sized enterprises have sold off due to the emptying of stocks, resulting in a sharp drop in the average price of products. From the perspective of polysilicon, the product price has dropped from 150 yuan/kg in January to the current 90 yuan/kg, polycrystalline silicon wafer is currently 2.4 yuan/piece, monocrystalline silicon wafer is 3.3 yuan/piece, and component price is 2-2.3. Yuan / W or so.

Silicone o-rings are based on silicon, an element derived from quartz. To create this class of synthetic elastomers, pendant organic groups such as methyl, phenyl and vinyl are attached to silicon atoms. Different additions of side chains can achieve significant variations in properties. Silicone o-rings have excellent heat, ozone and corona resistance and have good dielectric stability and resistance to many oils, chemicals and solvents. Silicone o-rings possess the best flexible property at low temperature but have low tensile strength and poor wear and tear resistance.

Cure System: Peroxide-Cured
Standard silicone o-ring compounds are usually peroxide-cured. Platinum-cured compounds offer better flexible properties and very low volatile matter. Platinum-cured silicone o-rings usually are applied in medical systems or other required low volatile matter. However, they need to be produced in a clean room and with a higher cost of platinum catalyzer, making them more expensive than peroxide-cured ones.
