iSuppli: 2013 thin-film solar panels will double its market share

According to iSuppli's survey, thin-film solar cells are rapidly Dunqu crystal technology has been the market share by 2013, the PV part of more than double the number of watts. By 2013, solar panels in the global market, the share of films from 2008 to 14% to 31%.

"First Solar Inc. Has been a strong proof of the viability of thin film technology, the company jumped this year, the world's largest manufacturer of solar panels, yield more than one billion watts." ISuppli's research director, said Greg Sheppard, "Meanwhile, the The company also has production cost per watt to less than 90 cents a silicon crystal is about half of the module manufacturer. "

Thin-film modules are expected next year, the average price will drop to 1.40 U.S. dollars, 1.70 dollars lower than in 2009. In 2010 the average price of crystalline silicon panels are expected to fall to 2.00 dollars, 2.50 U.S. dollars this year.
