The agency has now published the data for the PV system sharp annex in the fourth quarter. Contrary to certain rumors about double reporting the provisional figure of 7,500 MWp published in January has now been confirmed. Just in December 2,980 MWp has been reported. 41% of these plants account for the class size above 1 MWp.

Compared to last year, the segment above 1 MWp has grown by a factor of 1.6. However in the mid-size segment, the market has slowed down significantly. Bonn. The recently published facility capacities by the Federal Network Agency confirms the reports from January. In 2011 there was about 238,000 units installed in total, with a nominal capacity of 7,481 MWp. Last year there were about 250,000 units with 7,412 MWp. With an eye on the expansion of the federal states, Bavaria leads with 1,750 MWp followed surprisingly by Brandenburg with 1,000 MWp. This regional shift is largely due to the expansion of open space systems.

More meaningful than the aggregate figures for the overall market, is an analysis at the segment level, which clearly shows where the differences lie. The market has slowed down noticeably, especially in the class sizes between 10 KWp and 50 KWp. While in 2010 in this same class size over 2,600 MWp were installed, it was reduced to almost 2,000 MWp in 2011 showing a decline of 22%.

Regional comparison: Major changes to the previous year The regional comparison also shows significant changes to the previous year. In Bavaria, Baden Wüttenberg and Schleswig-Holstein, the market volume has decreased in comparison to last year. In the east, a significant increase has been observed. This increase was driven primarily by large-scale systems. However, in the eastern states the smaller and medium sized plants have also shown positive growth rates. The segment with less than 10 kWp have grown in all provinces except Baden-Wüttenberg.

Overall, the established states seem to be in retreat. The first signs of saturation may be a possible explanation for this but the strong growth rates at the end of the year tend to suggest that the demand is still healthy. According to Rene Mund, analyst at market research and public opinion researchers EuPD Research in Bonn, even the much so revived demand in the first quarter of 2012 does not suggest a saturation of the market. From EuPD Research’s perspective an even stronger fourth quarter in 2011 would have been possible had it not been for limited availability and capacity among installers.

Realignment necessary: “Companies need to move.”

The ongoing discussion about the adaption of promotion has heated up the market but rather artificially. According to EuPD research analysts the impending cuts have brought about the opposite of what was initially intended. 3,000 MW in the first 3 months was a plausible scenario so a renewed debate on the level of funding can be expected. The subject of direct marketing is also seen as being important. In addition, it can be assumed that increasing decentralized storage solutions will come on the market in the future. The continued existence of the EEG is assumed to be moved by over 90% of newly installed capacity in the EEG.

According to Jan Winkler of CleanTech 360 Consult, the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for PV systems has reached a level that makes it theoretically possible to operate plants outside the EEG. Also, special power purchase agreements (PPA’s) are a possible alternative.

He also said however that appropriate business models have not yet been developed. The fact that the industry is moving, however, must become apparent. Many companies have missed a clear reorientation here. The speed at which this conversion is possible largely determines success or failure.

Forecasts and market data: EuPD Research forecasts 5.9 gigawatts. The market volume in 2012 will have less mechanisms of activation but will rather depend on future price trends. Prices have stabilized in March and in April the price is not expected to drop. According to EuPD this is not expected to take place before July. A free, detailed analysis of market data and additional information on the current price developments can be found here.

Currently EuPD research forecasts a capacity increase in 2012 of approx. 5.9 gigawatts. The latest market developments and new capacities, including forecasts of the segment levels are also a key part of this year’s 5. German PV Market Briefing in 2012 which will be held on 18th April 2012 in the banking metropolis of Frankfurt. The event is aimed at decision makers in the sector of politics, economics and science and serves as a platform for the exchange of market information and backgrounds.

After last news in the Spanish PV sector, Spain’s Council of Ministers approved a Royal Decree suspending feed-in tariff pre-allocation procedures and removing economic incentives for new power generation capacity involving cogeneration, renewable energy sources and waste. Now the renewable energy sector looks to self-consumption.

The end of feed-in tariff in solar power system connected to the electrical distribution network means that development of renewable energies sector in Spain only has one way: self-consumption, especially for photovoltaics.

In fact, the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism announced that the procedure for developing the “net-metering” of electricity is now part of the “current regulation” and is presented as a “real alternative for the development of small installations to through the consumption of energy”.

Net-metering is an instrument to promote small power generation facilities. If the PV system generates more power than the owner uses, the excess of the solar electricity will be fed into the grid. A positive balance of this in-feed will be credited to the facility operator via his electricity bill within the current market value.

Sharp Electronics Europe attests high potential

“As prime mover for solar energy and the use of photovoltaic systems for more than 50 years, Sharp Electronics Europe is especially interested in the progress and development-effort regarding the solar market all over Europe”, introduces Peter Thiele Sharps solar expertise. “Therefore, we consider a future Spanish law own consumption in combination with net-metering will pave access to attractive, sustainable energy supply for an increasing number of society”, he adds.

Goods news are goods news

As electricity prices in Spain will increase up to 18 € ct/kWh it is a clear incentive for Spanish households to have an own solar system. “Due to important advancements in technology and technical matters as well as price reductions, photovoltaics no longer need a tariff to become more and more competitive on the European market.”, comments José Castelblanque, Sales Manager of Comprasolar. “Also, grid parity draws closer so that even more Spanish citizens do no longer have to fear higher prices for own solar consumption than for energy supply from the big market suppliers”, he adds.

Sharp solar panels are not only in popular demand by the end user, but are also a highly recommended brand by installers. The area of brand awareness in solar brands is now being addressed in the form of independent surveys by opinion researcher, EuPD Bonn. In addition to brand awareness other areas are also being explored such as distribution depth i.e. when a particular brand is sold more frequently than its competitors by installers surveyed. Sharp Electronics (Europe) GmbH has peaked in this regard and has been awarded the “Top Brand PV” seal of quality. Thus becoming one of the leading brands in the PV market.

With its “Top Brand PV” EuPD Research 2010 has developed a unique methodology for independent assessment of the brand management of module and inverter manufacturers. The award of the seal is based on a multi-level analysis. Brand perception among customers is a basis for evaluating qualified statements among customers and intermediaries. This gives manufacturers an unfiltered assessment of their own brand and also a possible optimization of opportunities in brand management. Wholesalers, installers and end customers refer to the “Top Brand PV” seal as independent guidance in the selection of quality brands. Sharp Electronics (Europe) GmbH has now been awarded this premium seal in Germany.

The award is based solely on leading PV manufacturers, who have passed an appropriate quality model. Sharp Electronics (Europe) GmbH is now among an exclusive group of top brands that are authorized to carry the seal “TOP BRAND PV”. “This award shows that our brand is firmly anchored in the minds of our customers here in Germany. We are particularly pleased that our partners – the installers and distributors, recommend our products in consultations. This demonstrates the confidence we enjoy from the intermediaries”, said Peter Thiele, Executive Vice President Sharp Energy Solutions Europe.
