U.S. financial crisis caused by the economic downturn impact on the global solar industry. Solar energy industry is expected the coming period will last a seller into a buyer's market, demand will depend on the support of governments policies, some of the market may be slowing down. Meanwhile, the huge investment required for solar power projects in the money market liquidity crunch in the case could face funding problems. Kasikorn Research Center predicted that this year's global newly installed solar power generation equipment, the total generating capacity may be reduced to 4,000-6,000 MW, while the total generating capacity of 5,235 megawatts last year, an increase of 1.3 times.
Thailand's export-oriented solar industry will inevitably be affected. As the demand slowdown and operators of solar panel production capacity, the price of solar panels and solar industry revenue tends to decline, resulting in medium and small enterprises in Thailand solar wind controller industry may face in the short term liquidity problems that may need to consider looking for joint ventures or partnerships, or consider corporate mergers or production departments in order to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency.
In the market, although the overall situation of the world market of solar grid tie inverter energy industry slowdown, but the Thai solar panel manufacturing industry in many countries there are still opportunities to expand exports, especially the solar and alternative energy support policies, including among the economic stimulus measures countries such as Japan, China, the United States and has the potential of emerging markets such as South Asia, the Middle East, and Africa and other regions.
Thai solar panel manufacturing long-term challenge is to improve the international competitiveness of the market and create economies of scale. In terms of production, operators should continuously improve product quality and performance, and for the household or industrial development target customer groups to meet their different needs and uses of products.
