Photovoltaics (BIPV) products in 2013. It defines BIPV as solar photovoltaic cells and modules that are
integrated into the building envelope as part of the building structure, replacing conventional building
materials and providing at least one additional functionality besides power generation, such as
weather protection, aesthetics, shading, or insulation. The report categorizes BIPV products based on
their installation location, including products for pitched roofs, flat roofs, and facades. It presents over
80 representative BIPV product examples and intends to release yearly updates on new developments.
Demand from the pharmaceutical sector is set to grow with the introduction of new technologies in the carbon nanotubes sector which is expected to push the demand further in Taiwan. COVID-19 pandemic had a severe impact on the market, in general, and disrupted the economy.
(1) BIPV technology has grown rapidly since the first installation in 1991. The world's largest BIPV system was installed in 2011 in France, spanning 68,000 m2 of warehouse roofing. (2) BIPV focuses on insulation techniques to save energy, as residential buildings are dominated by their thermal performance. Distributed generation through BIPV and PV/T systems can make a significant contribution to home energy loads. (3) The smart grid concept supports greater proliferation of renewable energy sources like BIPV by allowing integration of smaller, distributed generation systems.

3. Executive Summary
After more than 50 manufacturers – most of them small and medium enterprises in
China and South Korea – suspended or abandoned production in 2011 and 2012, the
polysilicon industry recovered from oversupply in 2013. Due to low utilization rates
in the first quarter, the global output decreased to approx. 228,000 metric tons (MT),
4% down from 238,000 MT in 2012. In contrast, demand from the photovoltaics (PV)
industry rose by a double-digit rate, driven by new PV system installations of approx.
36 GW. Thus, the large polysilicon inventories resulting from oversupply in 2011 and
2012 could be reduced significantly.
The outlook for 2014 and beyond shows two sides of the same coin. On the one hand,
growth of new PV installations will accelerate; we cover the broad range of forecasts for
2014 with three scenarios, spreading from 43 GW (low case) to 46 GW (base case) and
49 GW (high case). On the other hand, a slowly rising polysilicon spot price induced
several dormant Chinese manufacturers to resume production in the second half of
2013, and additional capacities from new entrants and existing producers will come on
stream in 2014. As soon as these capacities have largely been ramped up, they will lead
to new oversupply – in the low-case demand scenario already in 2014, otherwise in 2015.
Consequently, at least half a dozen high-cost producers will be pushed out of business.
In the high-case scenario, the spot price for solar-grade polysilicon will rise from 18 $/kg
at the end of 2013 to a range of 21 to 24 $/kg in the first half of 2014. Market participants
should not, however, misinterpret such an increase as a sustainable price trend. As our
analysis of industry cost curves through 2017 demonstrates, the spot price will drop to
16 $/kg by the end of 2014 in all our scenarios. It will not recover before overcapacity has
disappeared from the market.
Electronic-grade polysilicon for the semiconductor industry has not been included in our
cost curve analysis since we regard solar-grade and electronic-grade polysilicon as two
different commodity products. Apart from some fluctuation, demand from the semiconductor industry will remain stable in a range between 29,000 and 31,000 MT.

About the author
Johannes Bernreuter, 48, head of Bernreuter
Research and author of the report.
Bernreuter has become one of the most
reputable photovoltaic journalists in Germany
because of his diligent research, clear style
and unbiased approach. He has earned several
awards, among others the prestigious RWTH
Prize for Scientific Journalism from the RWTH
Aachen University, one of the eleven elite
universities in Germany. Originally an associate
editor at the monthly photovoltaic magazine
Photon, Bernreuter authored his first analysis
of the upcoming polysilicon bottleneck and
alternative production processes as early as
2001. In 2008 he founded Bernreuter Research
to publish polysilicon market reports.
As far as new production methods for solar-grade polysilicon are concerned, fluidized
bed reactor (FBR) technology based on monosilane will emerge as a viable alternative
to the established Siemens process in 2014. Out of the nine alternative manufacturing
routes that we have assessed, monosilane-based FBR technology is the first that promises a real breakthrough in the market. While maintaining high silicon purity, it entails
manufacturing costs that are substantially lower than those of the Siemens process.
Although approaches to produce upgraded metallurgical-grade (UMG) silicon have
made significant technical progress, they have lost much of their original cost advantage. Hence, UMG silicon will only have a chance of succeeding when the market price
rises again.
