PV manufacturing capacity expansion announcement plans and analysis for Q3 2016

摘要

In this quarterly report on global PV manufacturing capacity expansion announcements we cover the third quarter of 2016 and the month of October. The period under review is in stark contrast to the high level of activity seen in the first half of the year, marking a major slowdown in new announcements and fears of a new wave of overcapacity across the supply chain. This has already led to manufacturing underutilization, and line and plant closures with significant job losses.
