Summary
《2010 Deep Research Report on Global and China CdTe Thin Film Solar Cell Industry 》 was
professional and depth research report on global and China CdTe thin film solar cell industry.this
report has introduced almost all global and China CdTe thin film projects, included CdTe project
background, CdTe equipment sources, CdTe manufacturing process, CdTe thin film solar cell
product specifications, CdTe module capacity and production, capacity expansion,CdTe module
selling price, manufacturing cost, profit margin etc related information. Besides commercial
production projects, the report also introduced building or planning CdTe projects,in a word,
almost all CdTe projects information was included in this report. Then, the report introduced
global and China CdTe production,sales,supply and demand relation,average selling
price,cost,profit margin and 2010-2014 development trend. US First Solar has got great success
since 2007 and today First Solar has become global No.1 solar module supplier and lots investors
or solar companies want to become global second First Solar and in CdTe thin film industry,there
also some manufacturere said that their technical level better than First Solar and maybe the future
star after large capacity commercial production. According 168Research survey, First Solar
position will not change in the coming years, but also sure there will be some manufacturers get
good achievements in CdTe thin film industry. As Turn-key equipments is coming, CdTe will also
get great capacity expansion in the coming years. In the end, this report introduced 50MW CdTe
thin film solar project Feasibility Analysis and investment return analysis. In a word, it was a
depth research report on Global and China CdTe thin film solar cell industry. And thanks to the
support and assistance from CdTe industry chain related experts and enterprises during
168Research Solar Energy Team survey and interview.
