Once again, the prospects of solar energy in Ukraine

continuing the theme of. the post of April 17. I would like to develop his idea further.

It's no secret that about 93 % of the global solar energy market is based on silicon technology. If you consider in detail the value chain, then it can identify the following segments: growth of silicon ...

Consider this chain in terms of two factors - the presence of bottlenecks and financial profitability.

European Association for Solar Energy. predicts that 2010 will still remain the global shortage of silicon source. If all production capacity for solar modules and systems to a base, the availability of silicon for downloading will be at about 2/3. This means that one third of the world's manufacturers of modules will not work at full capacity or even be forced to go out of business.

What gives us the above facts? . As the saying goes, you should start from the beginning. At the same time, the production of silicon requires a very low cost, and to address a number of related problems (eg, the stability of power supply companies, the availability of proven technology, access to skilled staff, etc. n. ). Of course, the shortage of possible investments in other industries, but only if the supply of raw materials. At the risk can go, given the anticipated explosive growth in consumption and claimed the introduction of new facilities for silicon. But again, the risk is higher and it must be very carefully weighed ( market vs. availability of raw materials ).

All these reflections can be used in the analysis of ' solar ' business plans anywhere in the world. And what is the features and benefits of Ukraine? . And though at the time the demand was mainly on the electronic silicon have remained in the knowledge, technology and manufacturing infrastructure for the production of ...

Recovery of domestic silicon production can and should be a catalyst for the development of Ukraine as a modern high-tech and non-volatile state. In addition to saturated domestic demand for raw materials and further stimulate the production of the final ... This wave can be discovered at our potential in electronics, engineering and alternative energy.

Ukraine's competitive advantages - cheap labor, good scientific and technical base, high quality. Limiting factor is the high financial threshold, difficulties in raising funds in the absence of state support to industry, the inadequacy of existing legislation (for example, the problem of VAT refunds actually means 20% tax on sales for any manufacturer of export-oriented ).

Summarizing the interim results, I want to emphasize the main idea. First of all, the government should encourage manufacturers faced in the beginning of the chain, as bearing the greatest margin of the barrier and have the advantage of high-tech. The more so that we can build on existing experience. And on the next stage of production can be expanded in the direction of solar cells, PEM, and ready-made systems, parallel to stimulating the domestic consumers ' solar ' power for the internal market.
