A board member of Aleo Solar AG has just claimed that "The current shift from a seller’s to a buyer’s market allows us to turn down quotes from solar cell manufacturers that are clearly too expensive even at short notice."

This is the first I have heard of a buyer's market opening up in solar cells. I've blogged quite a lot about silicon being a seller's market and assumed that solar cells (made from silicon) and are then used to make solar modules as being in the same category.

Maybe we are just starting to see the start of a silcon glut heralding lower solar prices?
