Discuss PV Panel prices going up soon? in the Solar PV Forum | Solar Panels Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
yes, I did mean to mention that (have in the blog), it certainly could explain minor swings.We tend to deal direct becasue of our volumes, the only reason we've seen for any chnage in pricing is the fact theat they work in Euros and Dollars.
We can almost exactly match the price changes against the £ / € vlaue changes.
The HMRC imposed the Registration notice effective midnight last night. Any goods not cleared from the warehouse by then will be subject to and liable for any duty imposed which may not be agreed until June but inference is it could be 70%. That should please the Germans.
(18) The allegations in the complaint requesting the initiation of an anti-dumping investigation estimate an average dumping margin of around 60-70 % and an underselling margin of up to 125 % for the product concerned. The estimated amount of possible future liability is set at the level of dumping estimated on the basis of the anti- dumping complaint, i.e. 60-70 % ad valorem on the CIF import value of the product concerned.
(19) The allegations in the complaint requesting the initiation of an anti-subsidy investigation estimate the subsidisation margin of around 10-15 % and an underselling to represent of up to 125 % for the product concerned. The estimated amount of possible future liability is set at the level of subsidisation estimated on the basis of the anti-subsidy complaint, i.e. 10-15 % ad valorem on the CIF import value of the product concerned.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union
A certain supplier has increased costs by as much as £20 per panel in a day. A 70 kW quote we did last week has no increased its price by £6,600
Same hear, though ours is a 10kW. Originally quoted in November, requoted end of Jan as the customer was still thinking about it but had flooding on this farm so needed to divert his attentions to that. Came back to me last night to say he wants to go ahead - checked this morning on the prices and whadya know - £15 more per panel!
OK time NOT to be ripped off.
We have our legal team working on this right now. And we have access to panels that have already cleared customs (they did it in a rush earlier this week)
Anyone rasing prices now is like they did back in November 2011 - rippping people off.
(even the likes of segen don't get credit on panels from the manufacturers)
We went to eco-build Tuesday not a hint of price increase, exhibitors were really down in numbers.
Hope its not a sign of the future for PV
If they have sensible stocks, then I can gaurantee that they AREN'T on those kinds if terms - they will already be paid for (even the likes of segen don't get credit on panels from the manufacturers) as the VAT needs to be paid when they come out of bond. If they aren't out of bond by now then they will be liable for whatever duty is payable.
I am meeting with a number of the wholesalers tomorrow at ecobuild and will find out just what games they are playing, as I've said elsewhere we have protected our position on panel prices, by securing supplies for the next three months to take us past June, they are mid range poly's and mono's (240/250W). If we have spare capacity (we did buy a lot ) then will happily offer them to forum members at sensible 'pre-duty' prices. - We won't know until the end of next week what kind of spare capacity we have. PM me if you might want to be one of those. No promises
Any panels not paid for and customs cleared from bonded warehouse by now will be liable to EU duty if it gets imposed in June. Very likely, but it could be 20-85%. All stock on the waters or in production will be hit. All stock coming in from Europe not customs cleared will also be hit.
Most stock has been purchased by European countries, not just UK. UK is a small market compared to other European countries. well informed companies purchased the bonded stock this week from Europe. No names mentioned but a few are just going with the flow and increasing prices. The Chinese new year at the end of February meant no production was made or sent and it won't be likely that stock will hit Europe again until April and that will all be liable to EU duty.
So lets review the situation starting to take shape:
1. Suppliers putting up price on existing stocks
2. No immediate deliveries of Chinese modules
What do you think will happen to the prices of eu made modules? Yes they will go up!
Now correct me if I am wrong, but the FIT cuts were due to material prices dropping, can you see the FIT being reviewed? No, neither can I.
So customer payback periods increase, solar installs slow up, industry slows down even more than it already has, firms go pop, people lose jobs.
