據(jù)IMS Research的最新數(shù)字顯示，光伏組件出貨量在第二季度達(dá)到3.7GW，產(chǎn)生71億美元的收入。 這是連續(xù)第五個(gè)季度組件出貨量持續(xù)增加，根據(jù)市場(chǎng)研究公司。 太陽(yáng)能電池組件出貨量預(yù)計(jì)還要增加并在第三季度達(dá)到4.3GW。 然而，IMS的研究指出該組件First Solar出貨量在第五個(gè)季度份額下降。它與它的多晶硅競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手的差距進(jìn)一步拉開，到2011年擴(kuò)展能力會(huì)很有限。

IMS Research還指出，中國(guó)最大的五個(gè)組件制造商（尚德，天合光能，英利，阿特斯太陽(yáng)能和Solarfun），他們的市場(chǎng)需求會(huì)進(jìn)一步增加，五大制造商全球出貨量總份額的在第一季度將會(huì)占到28％。

在2010年光伏組件商的出貨量將增長(zhǎng)60％，而預(yù)計(jì)First Solar今年出貨只增加20％。

According to the latest figures from IMS Research, PV module shipments reached 3.7GW in the second quarter and generated US$7.1 billion in revenues. This was the fifth consecutive quarter for increased module shipments, according to the market research firm. Solar module shipments are forecast to increase again in the third quarter, reaching a forecasted 4.3GW. However, IMS Research noted that module shipment share from First Solar decreased for the fifth consecutive quarter and the gap between it and its crystalline competitors closed further due to limited capacity expansion capability until 2011.

IMS Research also noted that the five largest Chinese module manufacturers (Suntech, Trina, Yingli, Canadian Solar and Solarfun), continued to increase their command of the market and their combined share of global shipments reached 28% in the first quarter.

Total PV module shipments will grow by 60% in 2010, while First Solar is only expected to increase shipments by 20% this year.
