Bifacial modules lose Section 201 exemption in the United States but fundamentals remain strong as demand continues to grow from 2020–2023October 09, 2019In our recent insight from October 3rd, “US market to be standout global PV market in 2020 conditional to current ITC policy roadmap", we anticipated that “Restrictions to Bifacial 201 exemption likely to be imposed” because of a strong “push back from local US module manufacturers” since the June 2019 announcement. We anticipated that increasing restrictions were quite likely to be approved no later than Q2 2020. As such, the policy announcement has arrived earlier and more drastic than anticipated. The policy announcement has arrived earlier and more drastic than anticipated. On October 4th, the US Trade Representative (USTR) office announced that bifacial PV modules imported into the US will lose their exemption from Section 201 safeguard measures from October 28th 2019, thereby reverting its recent decision from earlier this year. The USTR claims to have assessed “newly available information” and stated that the exclusion of bifacial technology would “likely result” in significantly higher levels of imports, putting pressure on domestic manufacturers.

2019 China PV demand clarified - on track to 43 GWJuly 19, 2019On July 12 2019, China´s National Energy Authority (NEA) finally announced the 2019 solar PV subsidized projects by bidding process results, which clarifies the Chinese PV market. As discussed in the insight ‘Fog lifts over the Chinese PV market’, the total amount of approved projects under the bidding scheme determine the final demand for PV in China in 2019. After the latest announcement from NEA, IHS Markit reiterates its projection of 43 GW-dc for 2019 PV installations in China.Subscribers Only

Exemption of bifacial cell technology from Section 201 measures to accelerate switch from mono to bifacial cell lines outside of China and drive demand in the United StatesJune 17, 2019On 13 June 2019, United States Federal trade authorities ruled that bifacial solar modules will be exempt from Section 201 tariffs, as outlined in a notice from the Office of the United States Trade Representative. The ruling will dramatically increase demand for bifacial solar modules in the United States due to the opportunity of avoiding tariff rates of 15% to 25% through February 2022, in addition to the benefits of higher efficiencies and energy yields associated with such products. IHS Markit expects that demand for bifacial modules in the United States will be primarily served by manufacturing lines across Southeast Asia, as products shipped from China will still face antidumping and Section 301 tariffs that will make them less competitive.Subscribers Only

New announced capacity expansions and increased wafer efficiencies will worsen the overcapacity of the polysilicon industry in H2 2019February 01, 2019IHS Markit has raised its global installation forecast by 18% to 123 GW in 2019. However, on the supply side, IHS Markit anticipates that there will be limited capacity expansions in 2019, corresponding to an increase in utilization rates across the supply-chain. This should help to correct the overcapacity situation experienced by the PV manufacturing industry in H2 2018, for all nodes except polysilicon, where total capacity will grow by 16%.Subscribers Only

China announces plans for parity PV projectsJanuary 18, 2019On 7 January 2019, China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the National Energy Administration (NEA) released a scheme for unsubsidized PV and wind power projects. Under the new scheme, pilot projects will not receive any national subsidies, but they will receive support regarding land and financing. On 8 January, NDRC added that the decline of the PV project costs in China by 45 percent from 2012 to 2017. According to NDRC, the steady increase of the economic efficiency of solar and wind projects creates favorable conditions to bring down state subsidies and to ease pressures on subsidy funds. China aims to further reduce the cost of renewable energy power by using economies of scale and by supporting the improvement of technologies. Taking into account the statement from NDRC and NEA, IHS Markit projects unsubsidized PV will generate only little demand in China before 2020.Subscribers Only

IHS Markit revises 2018 China solar PV outlook, in light of new 2020 PV target discussions in ChinaNovember 14, 2018The IHS Markit 2018 outlook for China has been raised from 37 GW to 40 GW. While it appears that China will maintain a steady level of annual installations, quarterly fluctuations will continue, shaped by policy-making decisions. The total cumulative PV capacity in China is forecast to reach to 255 GW at the end of 2020, resulting in around 40 GW of installations per year in 2019 and 2020.

IHS Markit revises China solar PV outlook 2018 from 37 GW to more than 40 GWNovember 12, 2018On 30 October 2018, the National Energy Administration (NEA) reported that China had added 34.54 GW of solar PV in the first three quarters of 2018. This brings the total cumulative PV capacity to 165 GW. NEA is now discussing new PV targets for 2020, with reported proposals ranging from 210 GW to 270 GW. Based on these figures IHS Markit slightly raises the 2018 outlook for China from 37 GW to 40 GW and remains optimistic that China will maintain a steady level of annual installations. Quarterly fluctuations will continue with patterns depending on policy design.Subscribers Only

IHS Markit maintains 37 GW PV forecast for China this yearAugust 21, 2018On 17 August 2018, the China Electricity Council published updated numbers on China photovoltaic (PV) connections in the first seven months of 2018. Despite the reduction in support for PV installations announced at the end of May 2018, the world's largest PV market had installed 31.3 GW of PV by the end of July. IHS Markit sees no reason to lower the installation projection for China further, but is confident in that another 6-7 GW of PV systems will be completed this year.Subscribers Only

China PV market update - impact of recent changesJune 07, 2018On 31 May 2018, China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), Ministry of Finance (MOF), and National Energy Administration (NEA) published a notice with the aim to curb escalating feed-in tariff payments by restricting the amount of new PV installations under national subsidy schemes. The immediate impact is to bring the Chinese PV market to a halt, curbing the distributed PV (DPV) and ground-mount projects that aimed to secure the 2018 FiT levels. DPV projects installed after 2018 will have to rely fully on the benefits of self-consumption and any local support mechanisms. Ground-mount projects not able to complete under 2017 quota within June will have to wait until 2019 to secure possible new revenues, depending on future policy decisions. The following slides outline the impact that these changes will have on 2018 PV installations in China and the rest of the World.Subscribers Only
