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

China PV installations to boom in fourth quarter after grace period removalJanuary 31, 2018On 22 December 2017, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) in China confirmed the 2018 FiT rate and the anticipated grace period until June 2018 to obtain the 2017 FiT rate (for projects approved in 2017). The FiT tariff valid from 1 January 2018 is 0.55 yuan/kWh, 0.65 yuan/kWh, and 0.75 yuan/kWh for resource areas I, II and III, respectively. Distributed PV systems that sell surplus power to the grid will obtain 0.37 yuan/kWh for the excess power. The updated policy has removed the grace period in 2019, meaning that the 2019 FiT rate will apply for all projects as of 1 January 2019. The FiT deadlines for different policy segments, in parallel with events in PV markets outside China, will determine the quarterly module pricing and installation patterns. IHS Markit maintains its current annual 50 GW PV installation projection for China in 2018, but we are reviewing the quarterly distribution.Subscribers Only

NEXTracker and Array Technologies Reign Supreme in Global PV Tracker Market, IHS Markit SaysMarch 30, 2017NEXTracker and Array Technologies remain far and away the leading suppliers of PV tracker systems globally, in addition to being leading suppliers of PV structural equipment in general. Vertically integrated suppliers First Solar and SunPower notably lost market share in 2016. This has coincided with First Solar’s announcement to downsize its EPC business and to exit the structures market in 2016. Convert Italia and Arctech have risen into the top five, finding success in emerging tracker markets outside of the United States in Latin America, the EMEA region, and India. In the United States -- the largest market for PV tracker products globally -- Soltec, GameChange Solar, and Sunlink were the winners in terms of growth in the market outside of the big two (NEXTracker and Array Technologies).
