Coming up short?
February 28th, 2008 by Kishore
Frost & Sullivan is reporting that polysilicon shortages that have slowed the solar PV industry will end in 2008. The expectation is the 4 top polysilicon producers will add 17,000 tons of capacity this year, a jump of almost 50% in production. Compare that with the total demand of 26,000 tons in 2004. Shows how much this industry is booming….in fact, the expectation is solar will eat up almost 50% of the output of high purity silicon by 2009.
That’s an important step for the solar industry gaining more political and economic power…a great sign for the industry’s growth.
