Last week, California's first solar power plant in the 21st century Bakersfield near the grid. This shows that the development of large-scale renewable energy projects with good prospects, but also demonstrated its potential difficulties. Blue sky and white clouds in California, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and other dignitaries announced that a total installed capacity of 5 MW solar cell manufacturers power plant marks the start of Austra alternative energy era, which will help to address warming, to build a green economy.

   Subsequently, the nation's largest utility company Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG E) CEO Bite Da ratio (Peter Darbee) boarded the Podium (PG E with Austra signed a 177 MW power plant power purchase contracts), Tan from his analysis of the status quo. He said: "We all know now the capital market in trouble, has shrunk by 40%. Capital market in the future will distinguish between high-risk and low-risk projects, and those high-risk projects will not receive funding."

   Held in Santiago in the previous annual general meeting of the solar energy industry, renewable energy company executives for up to 11 hours this month, Congress passed a tax credit debate welcomed the policy. The policy allows for large-scale solar power plants enjoy up to 8 years of tax credit to promote the new project launched operations, ultimately helping the industry to achieve economies of scale and reduce solar electricity. However, in all participating parties on the occasion of rejoicing, three suits and ties, the seriousness of the man made slide speech has brought some bad news.

   The bad news from Wall Street. Large-scale solar projects to be launched, usually require the support of billions of dollars, but the credit crunch puts serious impact on the financing of these projects. Reason may seem difficult to understand, but actually more than just a few procedures. Congress passed the Renewable Energy Act is part of a package of bailout plan, which allows the construction of solar power plants Enterprises enjoy 30% tax credit.

But now most of the solar energy company start-ups, according to the Wall Street and Silicon Valley analysts view, these companies did not generate a profit, it can not be put into actual tax credit funds. Therefore, a solar energy company can only sell to another tax credit eligibility can use this preferential tax treatment in exchange for funds to enable the project started.

   So investors founded the so-called tax equity partnership program, a solar company agreed to provide funding in exchange for their tax credit eligibility solar projects. However, according to GE Energy Financial Services (GE Energy Financial Services) supervisor Tim Howell (Tim Howell) argument, investors' interest in such a partnership has been involved with both the reduction, on the contrary, with the increasingly The more solar projects licensed everywhere now on the market for solar projects tax credit qualifications. For example, the 1000-megawatt solar project will create up to $ 1.5 billion share of the tax credit.

Shanghai Securities News reporter who was informed from the PV industry, the future of China PV industry and the EU will continue to negotiate the price commitment issues, but domestic enterprises for the price or quantity commitment problem has been considerable differences. Relatively pessimistic analysts even believe that the new round of consultations is hard to change the final result. For domestic enterprises, adjust the market is a priority, the current demand for new markets such as Japan, has seen robust growth momentum. Wang re 2013

Since the European Commission to China photovoltaic products "double reverse" stick down, the domestic photovoltaic solar grid tie inverter industry immediately expressed strong dissatisfaction. Before the results were announced, the photovoltaic industry veteran analyst told reporters that the vast majority of enterprises to undertake 20-30% tax rate is psychologically prepared. However, export enterprises in Ningbo a PV module in charge of the 6th told reporters that the current average price of domestic PV modules from .62 to 0.65 U.S. dollars / watt, if coupled with a tax rate of 11.8%, the price will rise to $ 0.72 / W, and from South Korea Product prices close to other places, the price advantage no longer exist.

Majority of domestic enterprises has been unprofitable, there was no room for price cuts coming. Seemingly modest rate of most enterprises have been strangling the throat. EU Trade Commissioner De Gucht on the 4th expressed their willingness to continue and China's exporters, chambers of commerce negotiations in the hope as soon as possible "price promise" amicably resolve disputes. On behalf of the domestic photovoltaic mppt charge controller enterprises from the Chinese negotiating CCCME (hereinafter "CCCME") outgoing messages, the 5th Electrical Association has convened dozens of domestic photovoltaic enterprises explore the next person in charge of negotiations on specific programs, apparently focus on the formation of prices in the study program commitments or volume commitments.

But from the current situation, the situation is very grim. "Prior to feel that the EU is not sincere for negotiations, on the one hand the EU proposed price increase of not less than 47.6% penalty rate, the benchmark price for the identification of the other are not reasonable." An insider said. Each enterprise exports to the EU market share in different bargaining power of different enterprise itself, even in the industry commitments or export quotas for the price dispute is also very large.

Some new energy industry analysts believe that the negotiations with the European Commission CCCME apparent lack of game chips, and even view clear that the Chinese PV products were 47.6% of the high tax rates levied doomed, but Chinese PV products soon will face the European Commission on countervailing investigations sentencing. Current industry base will pin their hopes on the Chinese government imported products to other EU counter-measures, the EU Commission has been under pressure to compromise.

First, the domestic PV market force, is to solve the Chinese PV industry, "two out" the embarrassing situation of ways. Moreover, the relevant supporting policies already in the pipeline. Secondly, the Chinese PV products coupled with after tax still has a strong competitive advantage, European citizens will be expected to levy 47.6 percent tax rate before the accelerated installation of solar, appeared to grab the next two months will result in fashions.

Again, as the Commerce Department announced the launch of the EU anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigations wine program, the European polysilicon "dual" will be an important means of counterattack, the domestic polysilicon charge controller production enterprises benefit from it. "No matter whether the EU on the final implementation of PV products 'dual', the domestic market expansion is an inevitable choice, the relevant policies are needed in a timely manner to guide matching." Market participants believe that PV companies in the European market suffered "double reverse" Therefore more attention to the domestic market. Data show that in 2013 China's new PV installed capacity will account for nearly 1/3.

Although the preliminary results of the EU better than the industry expected, but overall, serious overcapacity in the industry caused by the pressure has not been discharged. Insiders believe that some SMEs may be that the "double reverse" and doomed. Solar Power Investment Co., Ltd. Shenzhen Business Unit Vice President Liang Junmin that domestic manufacturers of photovoltaic major markets in Europe, the EU closed the door after some enterprises will face a supply of capital chain rupture, coupled with insufficient purchasing power in emerging markets as well as a variety of domestic SME subsidy policy is difficult to cover an estimated 30 percent or more of the photovoltaic business will go down the tubes.

It is noteworthy that, insiders believe that the EU "double reverse" is not entirely a bad thing, the domestic photovoltaic industry has hot too far, "double reverse" This bucket of cold water poured down after throwing off some enterprises unrealistic expansion idea, throwing off some of China's local government launched PV projects impulses. With this round of cold bound PV industry reshuffle, can survive PV flexible solar panels companies will usher in the next growth opportunity.

"Differentiation of domestic enterprises have begun." Yingli Group Office of the Deputy Master Ren Liangtian president said in an interview, those that offer differentiated products with leading technology of the enterprise, as well as in the upstream and downstream processes to be innovative breakthrough, brand value content companies with high talent persevered. He believes that now is a good time for industry to adjust, so that a number of leading technology companies gain market acceptance;

Industry, government and industry differentiation but also to policy makers to adjust the PV industry to achieve a good opportunity, because the lowest price photovoltaic equipment, raw material prices fell to freezing point, the company's costs to a minimum, it is also expected on the industry low, eliminate backward enterprises lowest cost.

Beijing time on June 5 evening news, today Yingli Green Energy PV products for the European Union on China imposed provisional anti-dumping duty to comment.

The European Commission announced that from June 6 to August 6 on the production of photovoltaic china solar panel products from China of 11.8% imposed provisional anti-dumping duty, if the two sides failed to reach 6 August solution, when the anti-dumping tax rate will rise to an average of 47.6%.

For Yingli Solar, the June 6 to August 6 will be charged 11.8% of the provisional anti-dumping duties, August 6 to December final period will be charged 37.3% anti-dumping duty, the rate in the Chinese PV companies the lowest average level of 47.6% and below.

Liansheng Miao, Yingli CEO, said, "We are the European Union to impose provisional anti-dumping duty regretted punitive tariffs - no matter at what level, will inevitably lead to higher prices of photovoltaic products and solar regulator industry caused by stagnation in Europe and therefore we encourage China and the European Commission to restart negotiations. "

"Yingli Green Energy supports several European leaders suggested that market-based to resolve this situation. Negotiations reach will help alleviate the current uncertainty in the market, to ensure that European consumers access to affordable green energy, while maintaining local employment, "Yingli Green energy International Managing Director Darren Thompson said

U.S. solar photovoltaic (PV) panel demand is expected in 2013 to a new record high, to achieve installed capacity of 4.3 GW, according to NPD SolarBuzz latest quarterly forecasts.

If you reach this prediction standards, which increased by 20% over last year's magnitude. The demand for the second quarter of 2012, is expected to reach 1 GW, will come from utility-based ground-mounted portion 68%. Residential and small commercial rooftop PV solar cell installed capacity will account for 18%, while 14% comes from the large commercial roofs.

Being deployed in the United States a strong commercial and utility small solar panels PV is deployed by the state in order to achieve the required solar energy in countries in the proportion of total energy production, "NPD Solarbuzz analyst Chris Sunsong said.

"At the same time, housing demand is pushing for new third-party ownership model, which allows homeowners and businesses to install solar photovoltaic systems, with a minimum advance deposit." Now from the U.S. market demand for solar PV, contributing more than 12 years of global demand percent, compared to three years ago, accounted for only 5%.
