Bonn,
Germany: SolarWorld to Market Complete Residential PV Systems
In 2007, SolarWorld AG is to market complete solar systems of
the leading manufacturer of high quality solar power technology
will be offered at a price that the company says will further
improve the competitiveness of photovoltaics versus conventional
power.
"In
2007 we will offer our customers in the wholesale and retail trade
complete systems at terms and conditions that will enable them
to sell to final customers at a price that is well below the prices
currently seen in the market," explains Dipl.-Wirtschaftsingenieur
Frank Henn, CSO of SolarWorld AG.
The
recommended retail price for a medium-size standard system with
a power output of 4 kW net will be 4,600 EUR per Kilowatt (kW)
top performance plus assembly. Prices currently seen in the market
are substantially higher.
In
the last few years electricity prices in Germany have shown double
digit growth rates. With energy sources like coal, oil and gas
continuing to become more expensive this trend will persist in
the future," says Dipl.-Ing. Frank H. Asbeck, Chairman and CEO
of SolarWorld AG.
He
added, "Year after year we are getting closer to the business
competitiveness of solar power versus the retail grid-price in
particular from coal generated and nuclear power. Ecologically
speaking the clean solar power is already superior anyway. With
our drive towards price transparency next year we will explicitly
help to make solar power more favourably priced. Our objective
is to reach the full competitiveness of solar power in the foreseeable
future."
Under
the motto "Willkommen in der Schwieriglosigkeit" (The incredible
lightness of Sunkits) SolarWorld AG will also be introducing its
new individually customizable solar kits (Sun kits) at Intersolar
this week.
The
company asserts that its new mono-crystalline solar modules presented
at the world's largest solar technology exhibition boast a degree
of efficiency of 14.2% which is a power output well above what
the company says is the average market efficiency.
