Hi B Patterson,

I've read in an article module selling prices are likely to drop between 10 to 20% in 2011.

This is very likely to happen as projects will not be viable in Germany unless this happens..

Also many factories especially in China are installing additional capacity, so prices must keep comming down or factories will run idle..

Keep in mind Germany has around 70% market share if the SOlar Industry,, 1st of January is D day when FIT is slashed by 10% or more.. THis isn''t too bad.. Some rumours are Germany could put a cap on how many GW can be installed per year.. if this happens, expect to see a huge shake out and consolidation.

Australian Solar industry has its own issues to deal with that could stunt growth, the short term concern is the NSW FIT which is currently under review, also the state elections in March.. If the Libs are in, then NSW can say goodbye to the gross FIT..
Labour win is a long shot, Lets hope the greens push through a natiaonal GROSS FIT!
