Module prices could increase in the second quarter, EnergyTrend

18.03.2014: Solar module prices could increase during the second quarter of this year due to the delay on the anti-subsidy initial judgment on Chinese and Taiwanese solar imports by the US Department of Commerce, that has been recently extended from March 28 to June 2. According to the latest report from EnergyTrend, the research division of Taiwan-based market research company TrendForce, the delay will stimulate the module demand, thus increasing the prices. Global solar growth will also be sustained by an increased demand from North America, Japan and Europe, according to the report. »Current market supply and demand is in good shape. Demand from March to May is rather stable. Also, June demand forecast has started to show after the US announced the delay. Manufacturers, such as Trina, Yingli, Renesola, and CSI have aggressively placed orders and sold the products to the US market,« said Arthur Hsu, research manager of EnergyTrend. © PHOTON
