Photovoltaic Industry Integration Imperative

(China Glass Network) The integration of photovoltaic industry is coming. Then, the industry will consist of companies with large-scale, management team and ability of research and development. It is a catalyst for the adjustment of large and medium-sized enterprises.

Recently, many negative reports about photovoltaic manufacturing came out, such as, LDK Solar’ mass layoff, ET Solutions shutting off silicon factory etc. In addition, American Double Reverse and Germany slashing photovoltaic subsidies produce adverse effect on industry needs. Photovoltaic enterprises face difficult situation now.

The integration will make large and medium-sized enterprises improve technology research and development, reduce costs. For example, Yingli Group now starts to optimize production structure, does resources integration through combining upstream and downstream enterprises.
