Disclaimer

The price for polysilicon resulting from the OPEX calculator is just an approximate value for which we cannot take over any guarantee. The price which can be achieved in reality is depending on several factors related to the definite production equipment and its place of location, which cannot be taken into consideration in whole in the computer model given.

Bei dem sich nach dem OPEX-Rechner ergebenden Polysiliziumpreis handelt es sich lediglich um einen rechnerischen Annäherungswert, für den wir keine Gewähr übernehmen können. Der in der Realität erzielbare Preis ist von den verschiedensten auf die konkrete Produktionsanlage und deren Standort bezogene Faktoren abhängig, die bei dem vorgegebenen Rechenmodell nicht sämtlich berücksichtigt werden können.

Something Interesting

Facts & Figures

The market: 35% of the world's population consumes 65% of the total world energy consumption!
The energy consumption is related directly on wealth.
The yearly growth of the world energy demand is estimated on about 1.8%.

2009 is a year of consolidation. The business has to be adjusted to the new circumstances in the PV-industry. The time-to-market is getting faster, the vertical integration is aspired in order to get higher margins and better efficiency over the total value chain.

The majority of the polysilicon equipment supplier is based on the Siemens-technology.
Thus the market is open for new efficient technologies. Technologies, that are forward-looking and give at least the advantage in competition.
The pilot line is able to cover all polysilicon based technologies: Polysilicon for the production of wafers and cells as well as monosilane for the thin film industry- and all this just in one production concept.

Development of the Market

After a high price period (up to approx. $100/kg for polysilicon in 2008) oversupply and falling polysilicon prices from 2009 onwards
Clear advantage for suppliers that are integrated upstream and those able to rely on manufacturing cost advantages
Rising costs paired with increasing demand for energy as key driver

Production technology that allows to significantly reduce production cost will be a prerequisite for success and survival for most polysilicon producers.

The concept of Schmid Silicon Technology GmbH supports this strategy with Turnkey solutions for the customers.
