Previously, many domestic photovoltaic downstream manufacturers also said not to start anti-dumping of EU polysilicon, polysilicon prices will rise because of fear, and GCL and other leading enterprises of domestic polysilicon insists this year imports of polysilicon prices continued to decline has been dumping.

Data show that the polysilicon spot lowest price has dropped to $15 / kg.

Skei Tao Dege believes that the current $15 / kg of polysilicon spot prices reflect not reached between the polysilicon manufacturers and customers price level. Because of overcapacity, many initially caused large purchases of polysilicon enterprises need to deal with the backlog of inventory backlog, to obtain cash.

He pointed out that on the current market situation, at present, there are still a lot of polysilicon inventory to digest, inventory digestion speed depends on the growth rate of installed capacity of photovoltaic industry. In 2011, the global PV installed capacity of more than 27GW, 2012 is expected to exceed 30GW, next year is expected to reach 34 to 40GW, but these may vary according to the development of the market, we believe that the global polysilicon demand will grow.”

But because of the market risk, Wacker has delayed expansion in the United States of Tennessee polysilicon production plant, involving 15 thousand tons of production capacity.

“We will delay the plan for 18 months, is expected to invest in the middle of 2015.” Skei Tao Dege said that by the end of this year, the polysilicon production capacity of about 52 thousand tons.

Early last year, Wacker has announced, will build a new polysilicon production unit in the United States Tennessee, Cleveland City, is expected to put into operation by the end of 2013, the annual production capacity of 15 thousand tons. So, to 2014, Wacker ultra pure polysilicon production capacity will reach 67 thousand tons.
