Solar modules in Japan only half as expensively as in Germany - diagram to the solar world market

(openPR) - Aachen/Berlin, 30 November 2006. The company Sharp sells its solar modules in Japan for 1,67 euro per Watt. Installateure in Germany pay the double approximately for the same Sharp modules. In the USA Sharp modules for 2,33 euro go per Watt over the table. The searches of the solar electricity magazine PHOTON resulted in this.

Details to the Japanese prefabricated building offerer Sekisui, which buys and blocks the solar modules for 1,67 euro with Sharp, find you in our current report under the following left:

Background:
Although for this year on a decrease of the domestic installations one counts, Germany with distance is the world largest sales market for solar electricity plants. Japan is the second largest, the USA the third biggest market. Leading in the production of solar cells the Japanese solar industry with large distance is, in second place follows Germany. Alone the world-wide largest solar company Sharp produced more solar cells in the year 2005 than all German manufacturers together. A printable diagram as well as a Excel table with detail data find you under www.photon.de/presse/grafiken.htm

The yield on turnover of this year of the solar industry is over the entire creation of value chain counted about 30 per cent. In particular enterprises at the beginning of the creation of value chain bring fantastic profit margins in up to 53 per cent, module manufacturers have however usually only margins of approximately five per cent. Installateure must pass the high purchase prices on to their customers.

At present solar electricity plants are often so expensive in Germany because of the very high module prices that they do not bring satisfying net yield for the buyer. PHOTON guesses prospective customers to wait for sinking prices. Partly the prices must sink still over up to 30 per cent, so that solar plants become economically interesting again.
