Orders for March?

[SRE]

I'd heard they might go a bit lower but that could be the over supply. Once the slack has been taken up and the production levels modified it will be a different story.

Update: looks like I'm wrong - more chinese panels to arrive http://www.businessgreen.com/bg/news/2155056/china-responds-solar-glut-upping-production-targets

Is it me? I'm also seeing a lot of offers of panels from wholesalers. I'm guessing they are getting a bit jittery too.

Yes - very quiet this way as well, couple of jobs lined up but not much interest - understandably consumer confidence is at an all time low due to our best pal Gregory effing up the FiT and being legal challenge happy.

Panels are as cheap as they will get, they will climb soon for a couple of reasons.

Poly Silicon is now $30 a KG, break even for most producers is $45/kg, therefore 2 major processors have gone on holiday till the price rises and current stocks deplete, secondly China will be having their own FiT so Chinese installs will be going through the roof this year, demand will be high domestically and export will suffer. the rest of the world does not have the manufacturing capacity to compensate - so expect less stock on shelves.

a number of American manufacturers have already gone to the wall, waiting for some of the European ones to follow now. This is the inevitability of driving prices down.

Its not all down to panels for prices to drop much more, there is a lot more to a system than panels and I dont see much give from SMA and the rest of the gang on other components..
