PV Supply Loosening Up?

The first signs came over the Summer when we heard rumours from suppliers that PV modules would be easier to come by in 2007. Now it's official. The PV module shortage is starting to ease a bit. Edwin Koot, founder of SolarPlaza, has a very nice summary of the trends that are contributing to this very welcome development. In short, Germany is slowing down, growth in other markets has slowed because of high prices, new silicon supply is coming online, manufacturing capacity has expanded, and Chinese manufacturers are entering the game in a big way.
