The photovoltaic modules 1 ~ 2 month shipments fell but prices have risen sharply

Solar photovoltaic (pv) net news: the United States department of energy's energy information agency ( EIA) The latest monthly photovoltaic modules shipments, according to a report released in February photovoltaic modules shipments to 1. 1 36 gigawatts (gw), lower than last month. 49 gigawatts (gw) and December 1. 96千瓦。

however, February 1. 36 gigawatts (gw) component shipments increased by 308% from last year's 442 mw. Analysis thinks, this may be partly due to the outbreak of project developers expect under supply disruptions may occur and hoarding.

although photovoltaic component volume declined this year, but still consistent with the start rising trend in the latter half of last year, because this year the solar investment tax credit ( ITC) Policy will fall from 30% to 26%, the company before that are looking for a safe harbor project components. International trade commission rules the proportion of the cost of solar energy equipment installation, solar portal, the proportion can be deducted from the federal tax. Last year 30% of all project standards, solar developers only need to pay at least 5% of the cost of facilities, can get full credit, solar energy, enjoy the safe harbor provisions. Because these components provide more than 5% of the project cost, shipping them is a safe way to complete the ITC.

since June 2019, without a month shipments below 1 gw, a number that is almost August 2017 ~ 11 months twice on a record set. Due to the EIA since December 2018, has not released the related data, it is unclear whether there are many related to imports.

in February, California shipments, most for 420 mw; Followed by the Texas, solar panels, shipments of 141 m; Tennessee, unexpected entrants, shipment of 85 mw; New Jersey, 55 mw; Florida, 44 mw. Tennessee January shipments to 58 mw, it is a remarkable figure, two months of capacity accounts for more than a third of the state's capacity, this may be related to the Tennessee valley authority since December 484 mw of new solar power generation capacity.

although photovoltaic modules shipments fell from month to month, photovoltaic (pv) grid, but 2 month average price per watt has soared, from 0 in January. Rose from $40 0. $46. The previous number is the highest monthly price since June 2018, is also the biggest monthly rise since then.

data has yet to show the influence degree of the outbreak on component transport. Installation personnel said, they have been in the reserve components and other equipment, in preparation for the potential supply chain disruptions, which may partly explain why prices soared in February.

The article content is for reference only.

this paper statistics the September to today issued a total of 2. 85 gw pv power plant EPC and 1. 9 gw component bid opening information. Among them, the EPC project owner units is given priority to with soe/state, this also reflected from the side, in project bidding and parity, the state-owned enterprises have become the absolute main force. In particular, solar energy equipment, CGNPC in development of 410 mw, 603 mw, guangzhou energy saving 220 mw, 345 mw, jin can group of people for 200 mw, 190 mw hubei energy group, huaneng power 180 mw
