太阳能电池出口前景看好

China's Solar Cell Exports: A Bright Future Ahead

当今世界，各国纷纷将利用太阳能资源作为国家可持续发展战略的重要内容。其中，日本的“新阳光计划”，美国的国家光伏发展计划和加州“百万太阳能屋顶计划”，以及欧盟的“可再生能源白皮书”，都是推动太阳能光伏发电产业前进的主要动力。在世界市场拉动下，近年来我国光伏产业发展迅速，形成了较完整的光伏产业链，具体环节包括多晶硅原料、硅锭／硅片、太阳电池／组件、封装、光伏系统应用、专用材料、专用设备制造等。

Solar energy has been the subject of considerable discussion in recent years. As an energy crisis creeps over the world, more countries and multinationals are turning their attention to alternative energy than ever before. China produces more solar cells than any other country, and it has quickly improved its ability to manufacture solar batteries. In 2000, Chinese firms produced 3-Mw solar cells and then pushed it up to 1,088 Mw by the end of 2007. In 2008, the figure soared above 2,000 Mw. Though the annual rate fell to 76% due to the impact of the global economic crisis, far lower than the rate of more than 200% in previous years, it is still astounding, especially when compared with other industries. More than 90% of China’s solar cells are sold overseas. European economies — led by Germany, Spain, Italy and Greece — are the primary purchasers of Chinese solar cells. The European market and global demand will grow in the near future despite a global economic slowdown, so China’s solar cell exports will increase quickly as well.
