China Solar Panel Accused Of "too Cheap"
Recently, some European and American media published articles on the Chinese solar
panel expressed concern about the influx of such products, complain that China's solar panels are too cheap, alleged unfair competition, that its solar business could face a risk of collapse.
Complained that foreign competitors, "disadvantage"
Germany's leading solar energy company Q-Cells has released a performance report, the data showed that first-half loss of 700 million euros. The company plans to lay off 500 people, leaving all of the 2,100 employees to part-time workers are underemployed. It also intends to cut four production lines, and these production lines to Asia. Including Q-Cells of Germany, including the plight of their own solar energy business will be blamed Chinese enterprises, said the Chinese government invested a lot of money and subsidies Jiashang huge cost advantage to the Chinese companies to dominate the market clear price advantage.
Recently, the German solar energy company has called on the EU to impose sanctions on Chinese companies, that China's solar energy companies suspected of unfair competition. According to the German "Handelsblatt" reported that the German solar manufacturer Conergy For the German government in conjunction with other colleagues and the European Commission to apply for Chinese-made solar panels on the anti-dumping investigation. Ammer, president of the company, said: "Prices are dumping marginal", according to the current price level, Chinese manufacturers are not possible without the support of the national earnings. Because the silicon solar panels the prices of raw materials is open, Chinese manufacturers have only low-cost labor and energy advantages. The proposal by the German solar industry wide support, and other manufacturers that compete with their Chinese counterparts in a disadvantage. Q-Cells spokesman, he said, "politicians should ask themselves, to the German taxpayers foot the bill for Asian products, to do right?"
The United States and solar energy producer in Australia recently told its media, also of Chinese products to the impact of their dissatisfaction. California, a number of solar energy companies warned that the cheap Chinese products are not only so that they suffered financial losses, was forced to lay off staff and cut capacity, and may endanger the Obama government support schemes for renewable energy industries. "The Australian" by the end of August in a report quoted a solar energy products for people in Canberra as saying by the local solar industry, the impact of China's cheap products have time to respond to market demand. He also said some Chinese solar panel prices fell sharply, the price fell to 1050 from 1600 the Australian dollar, and some poor quality.
Cost advantage derived from various
Chinese solar energy enterprises in the battery production cost is indeed low, but low labor and raw materials prices and the plummeting prices of other multi-factor correlation, not just Yin Wei Chinese solar Chanye was government support. Moreover, the industry also pointed out that Japan, Germany and other Western countries to the national solar energy industry has provided huge subsidies.
"The German Financial Times" an article not long ago, the objective that the German companies and silicon manufacturers signed a long-term contracts, the price tied to death; However, the Chinese companies to purchase from the spot market silicon. Over the past few months, the market price of silicon has decreased by about 70%. According to a UBS research report, on the whole, China's solar industry production costs 30% lower than in Germany. Coupled with government support in China in recent years the price of solar panels drop significantly.
But "New York Times" Web site on August 25 an article was supported by the Chinese government deliberately emphasized that this is the Chinese companies to sell products at low key. It is reported that since March, the Chinese government at all levels, from local to central government, competing to provide various subsidies to solar companies, including free land and R & D funds; state-owned banks to the industry "rescue" to provide low-interest loans. In addition, poor quality of cheap Chinese labor resources obvious advantages.
British "Daily Telegraph" are biased to point out that China's solar suspected of engaging in unfair competition, and that Chinese companies use a variety of concessions to seize the country of the world solar market, this "close to dumping." The media back to conquer the world 1 / 3 solar panels market in China as a "theft of Green Technology Award" to the charges.
Barriers to overseas factories to hide
However, "The New York Times," the article also acknowledged that organized resistance to China's export of solar products is not easy because of the reduction behavior of China so much cheaper green energy. On the other hand, if this anti-dumping cases filed, as in the United States, you must prove it suffered losses from U.S. companies. However, the U.S. government tax incentives, the United States is to maintain profitability related companies.
"The New York Times" reported that China's solar energy companies in the United States is preparing to build factories to assemble semi-finished way to bypass the U.S. trade protection laws, and then exactly the same way Japanese auto companies.
Moreover, the Chinese solar companies also began to employ the United States to join our team of local labor, the company aims to grow in future may face anti-China sentiment to a minimum.
According to reports, the U.S. economic stimulus plan to obtain the financial support of the project have signed the WTO "Agreement on Government Procurement" in the economy produced steel and other building materials, including solar panels. China is not a signatory to the agreement. In response to this provision, and reduce transportation costs, China's largest solar panel manufacturers plan to announce next month or two years, will be built in the United States, a solar panel assembly plant. Another large solar companies have recently said the company already has solar panels in the United States assembled a "preliminary plan."
