EU restrictions on foreign competitors in the solar industry to protect members

Looking ahead to the next few months, analysts are very concerned about the EU's decision. June 5 for the interim judgment, and will be available this December 5th for permanent decision. Regardless of whether to impose a dual tariff, early next month, the solar company's share price will rise, will be in late fall.

also for the stock price will decline in the long term. And he believes tariffs alone will not be the final solution. He said: You may tariffs or quotas or trade limit. But anyway, for the Chinese manufacturers is not a good solution.

Quotas are set by the government trade enforcement measures will be limited to a period of time the number of EU imports of PV modules. This would, in theory, increase the EU domestic production of photovoltaic modules, protected by restricting foreign rivals States PV inverter industry. finally said: Temporary dual tariffs will take effect in June. And then, we hope that things will be a long-term solution. If the quota limit to replace those who trade tariffs, industry obviously need to know what is the upper limit of these quotas.

The European Commission said in a statement this week: In response to rumors of temporary dual tariff ruling and said: In this phase of the possible measures to balance the market are for the European companies, which EU companies trade in the face of Chinese solar panel dumping and unfair competition and non- the brink of bankruptcy. Currently, the industry 30,000 jobs under threat. Commission must be the overall situation, and can only make a decision based on the evidence. According to the proceedings, the EU will be in the June 5 in the present case the temporary dual tariff ruling.

For the United States for other well-known mppt charge controller companies SolarCity, Johnson, and Molchanov agreed that the company's CEO is attractive to most of the attention in Silicon Valley. Johnson commented: People are buying everything and solarcity CEO linked stocks. also held the same view. SolarCity is a good company, its stock price from $ 20 in 10 days soared to $ 50. The stock must have a bubble, it's not a good bet.

SolarCity shares soared occurred in mid-May. At that time, the company CEO said that it has from the New York investment bank and securities firm Goldman Sachs received a $ 500 million to develop the company this year will be developed roofing systems. Company said: This transaction is the largest solar deal will allow the company without almost any upfront investment for families and companies build 110MW PV project installed capacity equivalent. The agreement is to begin in 2012, and in the end of April this year, expanding the initial terms of the contract.

SEMI standard release coated glass to achieve international standards zero breakthrough photovoltaic

Recently, Suntech Power Co., Ltd., led several well-known domestic and foreign manufacturers of photovoltaic glass coating and inspection agencies to participate in the SEMI standards "crystalline silicon PV modules with anti-reflection coated glass technical requirements" officially approved release, standard number SEMI PV47-0513, flag China in the field of international PV standards finally achieved a breakthrough. SEMI Standard senior director James Amano said, "the release of the new standard, SEMI standard work on China and all have milestone, but also reflects the results of recent global cooperation of the parties."

Paul Granville Pacific island of Kiribati's largest construction project off-grid

Recently, following Mozambique, Uganda, the Marshall Islands, etc., the insurance Kiribati 288KW Wei once again assume the construction of off-grid systems. This project is the country's largest off-grid systems in the world, is located in the Gilbert Islands, Kiribati Tarawa.

Kiribati is a Pacific island, is the world's LDCs (less developed countries), one of most parts of the economy as the original economic self-sufficiency, power infrastructure is weak, most areas are without electricity. This project will annually produce about 600,000 kWh of electricity to meet more than 3,000 residents living electricity demand.

The customer is Southeast Asia's largest photovoltaic off-grid systems supplier, "Paul Granville CMOSherry proud," said Paul Granville back in 2010 on a partnership with the client, has been supporting projects for more United Nations to provide safe, affordable solar panels    stent program. "According to reports, Paul Wei, Guangdong New Energy has been actively involved in various types of aid projects abroad, particularly in Africa and the Pacific island nation off-grid system construction have made outstanding contributions.

Germany United Kingdom market sales accounted for almost half of Trina 2013Q1

Trina Solar (NYSE: TSL) 2013 first quarter revenue from sales to Europe led, especially in Germany and the UK, in the European Union on Chinese PV module manufacturers to impose anti-dumping duties before the company strive to meet the needs of European customers.

Trina reported 2013 first quarter revenue of $ 260.2 million, compared with the fourth quarter of 2012 fell 14.0%. Germany, however, accounted for 24.6% of sales in the quarter, compared with 12.9% in the fourth quarter of 2012 has improved. UK sales in the first quarter of 2013 accounted for 22.9% of sales in the last quarter accounted for only 4.6%. As feed-in tariff cuts, the UK is experiencing a utility-scale PV solar cell projects to flourish, and has been dependent on lower-cost Chinese production of components to meet the project's return on investment (ROI) requirements. 

However, the company is expected to make a geographical basis, Germany will account for only 19% of revenues in 2013, while this year the UK will account for about 12% of revenue. The company said it expects 2013 sales to continue to diversify away from Europe. Expects China and other major emerging markets will account for 20% of revenue this year, compared with 2012 increased by 12.9%.

Estimated Japan and other emerging markets in 2013 will account for 9 percent of sales, while in 2012 accounted for 3% of revenue. India is expected in 2013 accounted for 6% of sales, while India Trina first quarter conference call to provide a percentage figure is not listed separately. Australia and other markets is expected to increase by 0.9% year on year.

Management to discuss financial results conference call that Europe as a whole, will still account for the second quarter of 2013, about 40% of revenue. However, the United States and other key markets is expected in 2013 will account for about 17% of revenue, compared with a decline of 25.5% in 2012. 2012 implementation of the cost reduction limits the first-quarter loss, and relieve the quarter average selling prices continued downturn.

Off-grid PV systems prevalent in South Asia emerging photovoltaic markets

Most countries in South Asia is located near the equator, good light for the development of these countries provides excellent solar conditions. On the one hand, the huge gap in electricity demand makes these countries for renewable energy is full of expectations. On the other hand, the high price makes photovoltaic systems photovoltaic applications stalled, only a few free donation program to be implemented.

Bangladesh Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry to set the proportion of renewable energy in the total energy, respectively, 2015 and 2020 to reach 5% and 10% of the target, and from 2008 began to promote the implementation of renewable energy policies. The end of 2015 the government of Bangladesh is expected to achieve approximately 500MW of renewable energy capacity.

As Bangladesh's fastest growing domestic renewable energy company, Grameen Shakti which lasted for 15 years and successfully installed in the territory of one million photovoltaic solar charge controller systems, and is expected to be completed before the end of 2016 the cumulative two million photovoltaic system installation.

In the past in Pakistan's largely off-grid PV system applications, such as UNDP donated solar pumping system. Pakistan's government has set the proportion of renewable energy in the total energy by 2030 target of 5%, and in 2013 published a $ 0.232934 per kWh feed-in tariff, 25-year implementation period, the installation size from 1 MW to 100MW range.

In the near future, the Pakistani government planning and development of not less than 500MW solar power plant in Pakistan Alternative Energy Development Board claimed that some of the investment intentions of being negotiated. However, the lack of financing, grid infrastructure, political stability are poor photovoltaic development activities carried out in the local obstacles.

In short, in addition to China, India, Japan and Australia than in emerging countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific region has the world's 20% of the population, while the PV solar panel manufacturers market share accounts for only 3%. However, the Asia-Pacific region's new PV capacity in emerging markets are expected to grow rapidly over the next five years, to become the global PV market an important part, and in the most optimistic case in 2017 is expected to reach 5GW level.

East Asian emerging photovoltaic roofing system monopoly market demand

East Asia to implement the various emerging regions is mainly government-led economic system, the government's attitude of renewable energy largely determine the pace of development in the area of ​​photovoltaic. 2011 Japan's Fukushima nuclear accident in these areas is more firmly and vigorously develop renewable energy determination. PV demand in emerging markets in East Asia over the next five years will grow steadily, and in 2017 accounted for 1% of the global PV market market share.

South Korean Ministry of Knowledge Economy announced in 2013 the national electricity supply and demand in the sixth plan that before the 2027 generation capacity increased to 1.3910 one hundred million KW, which the proportion of renewable energy increased from 7% to 12%. To achieve this goal depends heavily on the implementation starting in 2012 in Korea renewable energy quota system.

Renewable energy quota system objects, including public utilities Development Group and some independent power developers, the former including Korea Electric Power Corporation's five wholly owned subsidiaries (Korea Southeast Electric Power Company, Chubu Electric Power Company Korea, South Korea Western Power, Korea Southern Electric Power Company, Dongguk Western Power), Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Corporation, Korea Regional Greenhouse, Ltd., Korea Water Resources Corporation.

Also worth mentioning is that the Seoul government announced the "Solar City" plan. As a "nuclear power as little as possible" part of the project, the Seoul government hopes the end of 2014 before the new 320MW of  photovoltaic inverter capacity, public and private roof roof each 160MW. 6.3 billion won loan will be used to support the "Solar City" plan. Installed capacity of less than 150 kilowatts of individual projects can get a loan up to 150 million won, or the equivalent of 50 percent of the system cost of the loan. Loans are required to pay off in eight years, the first three years interest free, interest of 2.5% after five years.

South Korea's small public utilities and commercial rooftop PV market is expected to develop rapidly in the coming years. Taiwan's tariff regime is mainly open tendering and project size limit of a combination, which is widely considered to be based on photovoltaic solar cell manufacturers development and financial pressures a compromise. In the past year, with a total capacity of 83 MW project is divided into seven tender payment.

Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs at the end of 2012 restructured the tariff, but the roof project ROI still be considered to be an attractive project developers. Because of limited capacity available land, the roof used in East Asian emerging markets will dominate the long-term; addition, the preference for local manufacturers making foreign brands more difficult to enter these markets.
