MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:
Industry structure and
developments:
The demand for energy
enjoys a linear relationship with the growth of an economy. Over the last few
years, this demand has witnessed a structural shift towards renewable forms due
to rising fuel prices, increasing concerns around environmental impact as well
as energy security.
Governments across the
world have evinced their support to renewable energy through favourable
policies such as fixed tariffs for electricity generated from renewable sources
Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), tax incentives, investment grants and
carbon credits, among others.
Solar energy is one of the
fastest growing renewable energy sources in the world with the solar
photovoltaic market recording a CAGR of 35-40%. The global photovoltaic solar industry annually generates around
USD 10 billion in revenues.
Global photovoltaic
installations grew 19.50% from 1,460 MW in 2005 to 1,744 MW in 2006 compared
with the annual solar installation demand of a mere 21 MW in 1985. Though
cumulative solar energy production accounts for 1% of the total global energy
market, the figure is projected to touch 8% by 2030, driven by attractive
government incentives for producers and consumers.
The global solar energy
industry is characterised by robust demand from the US, Germany and Japan
supported by government subsidies. The growing emphasis on the Kyoto Protocol
and rising allocation towards renewable resources by developed countries are
expected to sustain the 35% CAGR in the photovoltaic industry over the next
five years.
Specific global markets:
Ø Germany: Continued to retain its
position as the largest PV market. The Feed-in Law regulation in Germany
permits customers to receive preferential tariffs for solar electricity
depending on the nature and size of the installation. Nearly 968 MW of PV was installed
in Germany in 2006 with over 90% of it in grid-tied applications (rest was
off-grid or standalone systems).
Ø The US: Continued to be another
large solar photovoltaic market; the country's solar photovoltaic market
growing over 33% from 105 MW in 2005 to 140 MW in 2006. The US formulated an
attractive Million Solar Roofs Initiative that envisages the installation of
solar energy systems in one million US buildings by 2010, which is expected to
drive demand for solar energy products over the next few years.
Ø Japan: The second largest market for
solar photovoltaics. Around 50% of the world's solar cell production is
manufactured in Japan. Globally, Japan and the US comprise the largest
exporters of PV cells and modules.
Japan leads the world in thin film PV with the highest capacity of
operational manufacturing plants. An increasing thrust on solar energy leads
one to envisage that by 2010, solar energy would be the most preferred
household option in that country.
Ø Australia: A focus on solar energy
has largely been through research-based technological developments with
projects carried out at the University of New South Wales and Australia
National University. The national target for harnessing energy from renewable
sources stands at 2% of the country's primary energy demand over the next
couple of years.
Ø India: An important element of
India's power policy is aimed at meeting the power needs of remote areas in an
environmentally sustainable way.
India's focus on renewable energy is reflected in the fact that it is
among the first countries in the world to establish a dedicated ministry, the
Ministry of Non-renewable Energy Sources (MNES), for developing and promoting
non-conventional energy sources. Certain other forms of renewable energy
sources (such as wind energy, small-hydro and biomass) have already established
a strong presence in the country in response to the favourable policy and
incentives extended to participants. During FY06, about 37 MW of aggregate
solar cell capacity and 65 MW of PV modules were produced in India, while over
55 MW of PV modules were exported. From 1999 to 2006, the annual PV module
production increased from about 11 MW to above 65 MW. The primary PV systems
used in India comprised home lighting systems/solar home systems, street
lighting systems, standalone PV power plants and solar PV water pumping
systems.
Capacity growth: Solar photovoltaic
installations registered growth across all the major markets in 2006. During
the year, homes and buildings in Germany reported the largest PV installations
(57%) in the world, followed by Japan and the US, adding 20% and 7% of the
world's PV installations. The rest was shared by Australia, New Zealand and
Africa, among others (as shown in the diagram below). Globally, all scenarios anticipate
a rapid increase in polysilicon capacity and a return to faster industry growth
rates. Global solar installations are expected to surge to 3.2-3.9 GW by the
end of 2010.
Production growth: Global solar cell
production increased from 1,656 MW in 2005 to 2,204 MW in 2006. Japanese
producers lost ground over the 12 months, dropping from 46% of the global share
to 39%. However, Japan emerged as the largest net exporter of PV cells and
modules in 2006, overtaking the US. During the year, China also emerged as an
important solar cell manufacturer, fuelled by the new Renewable Energy Law
targeting 5,000 MW from renewable energy sources by 2010 and a massive 30,000
MW by 2020. Polysilicon production rose 16% in 2006, which, when combined with
aggressive PV industry procurement, allowed a marginally higher market growth
rate than what was projected 12 months ago. Polysilicon supply issues are,
however, expected to constrain cell production through 2007. The total market
for commercial solar cell production equipment is expected to grow from USD 1.2
billion in 2006 to USD 4.5 billion in 2010. The top PV cell manufacturers in
2006 comprised 72% of total shipments.
Costs and realisations:
On an average, solar energy
prices declined annually by 4% across 15 years on account of a progressive
increase in conversion efficiencies and competitiveness derived through
economies of scale. Presently, solar electricity prices stand at 30 cents/kWh,
which is two to five times the average residential electricity tariff (a
precise calculation depends upon the location of the solar installation and
local electricity tariff rates).
A residential solar energy
system typically costs about USD 8-10 per W.
Where government incentive programmes exist, together with lower prices
secured through volume purchases, installed costs are as low as USD 3-4 per W -
or some 10-12 cents per KWh can be achieved. Without incentive programs, solar
energy costs (in an average sunny climate) range between 22-40 cents/kWh for
very large PV systems.
With respect to industry
pricing, 2006 was a year of transition. In the first six months, prices rose
through the PV chain in most markets. However, by the midyear, customer
response led to declines in Europe. The resilience of the solar energy industry
can be reflected from the fact that players mobilised nearly USD 4 billion in
2006, higher by over 120% over the previous year.
Studies indicate that
Japan's spending on solar energy averaged USD 115 million per year from 1996 to
2006 and that rebates covered 10% of installation cost. Sources also claim that
Japan's government support for solar energy has caused a 75% drop in solar
prices (partially due to major advancements in technology and installation
methods), that solar power usage has increased by a multiple of 35 and that
Japan wants half of all new homes built in 2010 to be based on solar
energy.
Raw material management:
The principal raw material
for the manufacture of solar cell is crystalline silicon (solar grade silicon).
Bulk silicon is separated into multiple categories according to crystallinity
and crystal size in the resulting ingot, ribbon or wafer. Mono-crystalline
silicon is often manufactured using single-crystal wafer cells. It tends to be
expensive because it is cut from cylindrical ingots and does not completely
cover a square solar cell module without a substantial waste of refined
silicon. Hence, most mono-crystalline silicon panels have uncovered gaps at the
corners of four cells. Poly or multicrystalline silicon is made from cast
square ingots or large blocks of molten silicon carefully cooled and
solidified. These cells are less expensive to produce compared with their
mono-crystalline equivalent.
Approximately 45% of the
cost of a silicon cell solar module is driven by the cost of the silicon wafer,
while 35% by the materials required to assemble the module. The shortage of
solar grade polysilicon is driving the shortage of solar grade wafers. However,
the introduction of new polysilicon production capacity through 2009 should see
the demand-supply gap contract. While polysilicon supply will increase over the
medium-term, it is expected that the price of the resource, currently hovering
at USD 200 per kg, will decline only gradually over this period as demand
remains strong. Tight polysilicon supply is proving to be the major constraint
in the growth of the solar power industry.
The Kyoto Protocol - fuelling demand for solar
products:
Ø In December 1997, more than 160
nations met in Kyoto (Japan) to negotiate the binding limitations on greenhouse
gases for developed nations, pursuant to the objectives of the UN Framework
Convention on Climate Change of 1992. The outcome of the meeting was the Kyoto
Protocol, in which the developed nations agreed to limit their greenhouse gas
emissions relative to the levels emitted in 1990. The US agreed to reduce
emissions from 1990 levels by 7% during 2008 to 2012.
Ø As of December 2006, a total of 169
countries and other government entities had ratified the agreement (representing
over 61.6% of emissions from Annex I countries), the notable exceptions being
the US and Australia. Countries like
India and China, which ratified the protocol, are not required to reduce carbon
emissions under the present agreement.
Webel-SL's presence Identity:
Subject is the largest and
fastest growing manufacturer of solar photovoltaic cells and modules in India.
The Company registered a turnover growth of 56.61% to Rs.1067.800 Millions in
2006-7. Its post-tax profit increased 31.54% to Rs 84.300 Millions during the
same period. The Company reported 95% of its turnover from exports in 2006-7.
Its products were certified by ISPRA, IEC, UL-TUV and PV-GAP- all reputed
international certifying agencies.
Capacity growth: Webel-SL increased its installed capacity from 1 MW to 10
MW within nine years in response to increasing technology absorption
capabilities and favourable market conditions. Going forward, it expects to
enhance the capacity from 10 MW to 42 MW in 2007-08 to 72 MW in 2009-10 and 102
MW by 2010-11.
Product
portfolio:
Webel-SL's wide product basket comprises modules applicable
for various commercial and industrial applications. The Company is one of the
few in the world to leverage its optimal mix of manual and automated equipment
to make a range from small to high wattages; in doing so, it enjoys the benefit
of maximised resource utilisation. In one of the significant quality
achievements in 2006-7, the Company received certification for 100% of its
products. The Company manufactured only 4' and 5' cell variants earlier and
moved on to widen its product mix to 6' and 8' cell types covering the range
from 75 W peak to 150 W peak. A substantial percentage of the Company's
existing installed capacity of 10 MW is focused on the growing 8' cell market,
while the remaining on the 6' cells. Solar panels made by Webel-SL carry a
warranty of 25 years. In a country like Germany, the installation of rooftop
solar panels is recouped within seven years, its use translating into earning
potential thereafter.
Marketing:
In a scenario where
demand exceeded supply, the Company extended its presence to 20 countries in
2006-7 to de-risk from regulatory changes in any geography. Among the
significant changes, the country's exposure to the US markets increased in
2006-7 as compared to the previous year. However, the Company reduced its
European markets exposure in 2006-7, following a decline in end-product
realisations in that continent. Asia emerged as a significant market for
Webel-SL with the continent's exposure increasing substantially in 2006-7,
primarily driven by rising exports of solar cells and wafers to China and
Korea.
