Made in China

China has a stable and secured position as one of the largest solar products manufacturing country. Made in China solar products has emerged as top export products around the globe. Nanjing She Haifeng, the Deputy General Manager of well known Chinese company Optoelectronics said, “China has become the world’s 3rd largest country of the world in the production of photovoltaic cells, but this production capacity is almost 95% for export purpose which means that it is a big consumption of energy for foreign output”.

In 2006, China turned out 460MW of photovoltaic modules. It was estimated that the production of solar products would reach to 90% for export, but these are not the exact figures. It can be more or less. China’s top solar products contain solar panels, photovoltaic cells, LEDs and photosensitive semiconductor devices. Growth rate of Chinese solar products in 2007 were 565 to 570 MW. According to an estimation, it is expected that this growth capacity will be risen to 4,500MW in future.

There are some negative factors involve in the export of Chinese solar products such as insufficient supply of solar cells worldwide, shortage of polysilicone suppliers which is the main raw material for solar cells and wafers. Also, most solar energy enterprises in China are very small, contains only a few dozen people, many solar products operators have no professional background and they do not have the technical and managerial capacity. So China should hard work more in its solar industry sector to export of solar products from China direct to all over the world.
