Most polysilicon is used in solar applications, which hasless stringent purity requirements than those for semiconductors. When, as now,solar panel demand is strong, the potential for very high solar PV-gradeploysilicon growth rates is there, NPD Solarbuzz says.
While semiconductor polysilicon is a high value-added segment,future demand growth will be modest in a mature market.
NPD Solarbuzz forecasts global manufacturers will ship 49GWof end-market solar PV modules this year.
