Spanish photovoltaic power generation companies will lose nearly $ 8 billion

2012, the Spanish PV project developers new installed capacity is only 277MW, while in 2011 and 2010 new PV systems were installed capacity of 410MW and 427MW, 2008 peak of new capacity is up to 2.7GW.

2011, the Spanish photovoltaic industry employs more than 12,000 employees in total, but now this figure has dropped to 7,500 people, most of them engaged in the operation and maintenance personnel, or support overseas business.

Two years ago, the Spanish total of more than 50 factories producing solar grade silicon ingots, wafers, cells, modules, power inverter and trackers, but according to UNEF Association released up to 80 of the "new development model of solar PV" report revealed that a total of 90% of the components and component manufacturers have closed plants or filed for bankruptcy, or is implementing layoffs.

As of last year, a total of 4.5GW Spanish photovoltaic systems connected to the grid - the country's total installed power generation system 4% - photovoltaic power generation to meet the country's electricity demand by 3%.

Fiscal austerity government subsidy mechanism initiated the "attack" makes the PV industry into a setback, and now the country's 2009 previously installed photovoltaic power station installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in the country accounts for about 74% of the total.

From a regional perspective, the end of this year, Castilla (Castilla-La Mancha) region the highest installed capacity of photovoltaic systems - 905MW - Andalucía (Andalusia) to the second highest total installed capacity of 838 MW, Egypt Estrella Madhu pull (Extremadura) and Castile (Castilla y Leon) areas are respectively 540 MW and 484 MW of total installed capacity ranked third and fourth. Among them, one of the smallest district Spain Murcia (Murcia) ranked fifth in total installed capacity reached 423 MW.

Last year, the Spanish PV project developers in the region of Andalusia installed 49MW of photovoltaic systems, and in Valencia (Valencia) and Castile were installed 38MW and 30MW of photovoltaic power generation Power energy system.
