Summary: Germany Jan-May 1.5GW installation, less than 2.58GW last year May installation was 344.2MW, higher than 254MW last year, probably due to rush orders ahead of June Tariff?
Government expects 3.5GW-4.5GW for the year, Deutsche Banks predicts 3.5GW, much less than 7.2GW last year.
June installation normally is seasonally high, last year they installed 1.79GW for the month. This year they screwed themselves up with Tariff. If they continue on the wrong path, they'll make Conergy insolvency looks like child's play. Yeah, do they have target for unemployment rate in mind?
According to Solarbuzz, there's an effort of shifting Solar markets going on as everybody already witnessed, especially to low ASP Chinese domestic consumption and higher ASP Japanese market, but 2013 the EU is still expected to install more than 10GW. It better be since the Chinese is negotiating Maximum shipment of 10GW for itself alone.
We are half way through 2013 already, the idiots from EU is still negotiating with the Chinese, and it takes a month to ship stuff from China to Europe. What the hell are they thinking, it's too much politics, I thought only our politicians are stupid?
