Expected Drop In Price Of Polysilicon To Give Short-term Boost To Photovoltaic Market

摘要

Global supplies of polysilicon-a primary building block of photovoltaic cells that harvest electricity from sunlight-will outstrip demand in 2009, resulting in a decrease in the cost of poly-silicon, say analysts at market researcher iSuppli Corp. in El Segundo, Calif.rnThe decline in pricing and expected over-supply of polysilicon will benefit photovoltaic wafer makers that buy the raw material. However, the pure solar wafer market will become a less attractive business in the future, iSuppli analysts say.
