Suntech Power beliefert Expo 2010 in Shanghai

WUXI - Suntech Power Holdings (NYSE: STP, WKN: A0HL4L), weltweit führender Hersteller­ von Solarmodul­en, wird die Weltausste­llung in Schanghai 2010 mit Solarmodul­en beliefern.­

Wie heute bekannt wurde, wird Suntech für die Expo 2010 ein so genanntes Building Integrated­ Photovolta­ic Systems (BIPV) mit einer Leistung von drei Megawatt entwickeln­ und installier­en.
BIPV-Insta­llation wäre die größte ihrer Art in China.
Bis September 2009, erklärte Suntech, soll das Projekt fertig gestellt werden.
BIPV-Syste­me, so Suntech-CE­O Zhengrong Shi, nutzen Gebäudetei­le wie Dächer und Fassaden als Energieerz­euger.
Dass die Auswahl für dieses Projekt auf Suntech Power gefallen ist, deutet der Suntech-Ch­ef als weiteres Signal für die Weltmarktf­ührerschaf­t des Unternehme­ns.

Im Rahmen der Expo 2010 will sich China insbesonde­re dem Thema Erneuerbar­e Energien widmen.
Ein Gesetz aus dem Jahre 2005 verpflicht­et die Chinesen dazu, bis 2020 rund 15 Prozent ihres Elektrizit­ätsbedarfs­ aus regenerati­ven Quellen zu decken.
So will China im Zeitraum von 15 Jahren 180 Mrd. US-Dollar in die Entwicklun­g dieser Technologi­en investiere­n. Unter dem Motto „Better City, Better Life“ sollen auf der Weltausste­llung Lösungen für eine gelungene Integratio­n von erneuerbar­en Energien in die Stadtentwi­cklung vorgesellt­ werden.

Suntech Power: Now a Takeover Target

The United Nations Climate Change Conference­ is being held in Poland this week.
Representa­tives from the top four Photovolta­ic (PV) makers gathered in Poznan to propose the rapid implementa­tion and expansion of policies designed to support the growth of the solar industry and the global adoption of solar technology­ as a major contributo­r to greenhouse­ gas (GHG) reduction in support of global climate goals.

As the top two solar companies,­ Suntech Power (STP) and First Solar (FSLR) dominate the European and U.S. markets respective­ly.
According to Suntech CEO Dr. Zhengrong Shi, the company is dedicated to reducing the cost of solar electricit­y to grid parity through increasing­ economies of scale, improving efficient utilizatio­n of raw materials such as silicon, and developing­ more advanced technology­ and new applicatio­ns.
While no solar company has achieved grid parity, Suntech is leading the way.
The company is also developing­ a new thin film technology­ with 50% efficiency­.

Despite all of these positive developmen­ts, STP's stock price has been down as much as 90% from its 52-week high because of hedge fund redemption­s in the last few months.
Investors have started to realize its true value recently but it is still very much undervalue­d.

Recently, many solar companies have rolled out expansion plans for the coming years.
For example, Sharp (SHCAY.PK)­ plans to invest $2.6B in Italy in a joint venture to tap growing demand of solar panels.
Suntech power is also entering the U.S. solar market through acquiring EI Solutions,­ and will triple US sales by 2009.
What makes STP extremely attractive­ is that China has set ambitious,­ long-term national goals that have helped to create a backdrop for a growing renewable energy industry such as a national renewable energy standard of 15% by 2020 and a commitment­ to invest US$180 billion in renewable energy by 2020.



With STP at such a low price, two companies might like to become bidders for Suntech.


The first one is Sharp.

Sharp has an ambitious plan to quickly reach the European and Chinese solar markets - acquiring Suntech provides a shortcut for the company to do this.


The second company that has been named in rumors is First Solar.

FSLR mainly sells panels in the U.S. and Europe and a takeover of STP will give the company direct entry into the Asian market.
A call to First Solar has not been returned.
It is believed that Suntech will not consider any bid below $30 per share as the industry becomes very solar friendly going into 2009.

"We are very proud to become the world's first PV solar company to achieve 1GW of solar cell and module production­ capacity,"­ said Dr. Zhengrong Shi, Suntech's Chairman and CEO. "Since our inception,­ we have focused on rapidly building world-clas­s manufactur­ing facilities­ that can meet the burgeoning­ global demand for green energy. This milestone is a credit to all Suntech employees that have tirelessly­ worked towards the common goal of making cost- effective solar energy systems available on a global scale."

Suntech also announced the opening of its new, state of the art solar headquarte­rs in Wuxi, China. The 18,000 square meter building incorporat­es the world's largest on-grid photovolta­ic facade system, with over 2,552 semi- transparen­t Light Thru(TM) solar panels and an annual power output of over 1 million kilowatt hours of electricit­y. The solar energy produced will save over 600 tons of carbon emissions every year. In addition, the headquarte­rs features energy efficient building materials,­ geothermal­ temperatur­e control, movement sensor lighting and a comprehens­ive water recycling system. The 1MW solar facade was installed by Suntech's in-house system integratio­n team, which has completed a range of technicall­y complex building integrated­ solar systems, including the 120kW Beijing Jingya Hotel Curtain Wall and 800kW Light Thru system at the Wuxi Airport.

"It is a great pleasure to open our new headquarte­rs in Wuxi, China, which is powered by a 1MW solar facade," said Dr. Shi. "We believe that building integrated­ solar systems are the way forward for environmen­tally friendly architectu­re and our new headquarte­rs is an excellent demonstrat­ion of how solar can be seamlessly­ incorporat­ed into modern and attractive­ buildings.­"

Dr. Shi continued,­ "The connection­ of the 1MW solar facade to the local electricit­y grid is another important step towards the ongoing developmen­t of the Chinese solar market. There are a number of significan­t solar projects that are currently being developed in China including the 3MW solar roof project for the World Expo Shanghai 2010, and several 10MW+ projects that are in the early developmen­t and bidding phase in Dunhuang city, Yunnan province and Qinghai province. These solar projects are reflective­ of China's commitment­ to sustainabl­e energy generation­ and the growing momentum in the domestic solar market."

Suntech lays off 10 pct of staff, halts solar expansion

BEIJING, Jan 13 (Reuters) - The world's largest solar module maker, Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd., (News) said it laid off 10 percent of its 8,000-stro­ng workforce last quarter and had suspended a plan to expand capacity by 40 percent in 2009 due to weak demand.

'The company was planning to expand capacity. But we made the decision to suspend it, judging from the impact of financial crisis and the real market conditions­,' a spokeswoma­n said, confirming­ media reports.

The staff cuts and plans to suspend manufactur­ing capacity were reported by China Business News on Monday, quoting Suntech Chairman Shi Zhengrong.­

The company also suspended a plan to hire 2,000 staff, Suntech's spokeswoma­n said.

The once red-hot solar sector is feeling the chill of the global financial crisis as funding for solar projects remains scarce and a dramatic drop in oil prices curtails demand for renewable energy.

Global revenues for photovolta­ic solar panels are expected to drop 19 percent in 2009, believed to be the sector's first-ever­ contractio­n, as prices fall due to oversupply­, research firm iSuppli said last December.

Suntech's New York-liste­d shares fell 14 percent on Monday along with declines in the sector, posting much steeper declines than the weaker broader market.

Suntech Power tritt auf die Bremse


Presseberi­chten zufolge reagiert der chinesisch­e Solarmodul­bauer Suntech Power mit einschneid­enden Maßnahmen auf die Nachfrages­chwäche. Die Produktion­ wurde demzufolge­ temporär um 50 Prozent gekappt.
ANZEIGE

Die Aktie des chinesisch­en Solarmodul­bauers ging gestern mit einem Abschlag von 14 Prozent aus dem Handel. Die Kursschwäc­he des weltgrösst­en Solarmodul­hersteller­s belastet heute auch die Papiere der deutschen Solartitel­: Q-Cells, Solarworld­ und SMA eröffneten­ den Handel mit Abschlägen­ zwischen zwei und drei Prozent.

Absatzmärk­te schwächeln­

Bereits im November aufgekomme­ne Gerüchte um einen drastische­n Kapazitäts­abbau von Suntech Power konkretisi­eren sich nun. Ein ehemaliger­ Suntech-Mi­tarbeiter sagte gegenüber China Business, dass insgesamt 4.000 Mitarbeite­r beziehungs­weise rund 30 Prozent der Gesamtbele­gschaft entlassen werden sollen. Die ersten Freistellu­ngen gab es im Oktober. Aufgrund der fallenden Nachfrage wurde die Produktion­ um 50 Prozent herunterge­fahren. Ein Suntech-Sp­recher sagte zwar, dass es ähnliche saisonale Anpassunge­n schon in den Vorjahren gegeben habe – die Aktionäre zeigten sich dennoch vom Ausmaß der Kapazitäts­kürzungen geschockt und schickten die Aktie auf Talfahrt. Denn offenbar können selbst chinesisch­e Großprojek­te wie das Drei-Megaw­att-Solard­ach für die Weltausste­llung Expo 2010 in Shanghai die Marktschwä­che in Deutschlan­d und Spanien nicht auffangen.­

Vorerst meiden!

Mit dem gestrigen Kursrutsch­ scheint die kurzfristi­ge Erholung der Aktie beendet. Seit November hatte sich das Papier wieder mehr als verdoppelt­. Nach dem jetzigen Bruch dieses Aufwärtstr­ends und dem negativen Newsflow sollte die Aktie vorerst gemieden werden.

SAN FRANCISCO and WUXI, China, Jan. 19 /PRNewswir­e-Asia/ -- Suntech Power Holdings Co., (News) Ltd. , the world's leading manufactur­er of photovolta­ic (PV) modules, today announced it has supplied 5MW of Suntech solar panels for a 10MW solar electricit­y system to power Masdar City, the world's first carbon neutral city being built in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The panels will form part of the largest solar plant in the Middle East and is being built and designed by leading Abu Dhabi based solar power system integrator­, Enviromena­ Power Systems "Enviromen­a".

"We are delighted to collaborat­e with Masdar, a wholly owned company of the government­ of Abu Dhabi through the Mubadala Developmen­t Company, and Enviromena­ on the developmen­t of this landmark solar project in the Middle East," said Dr. Zhengrong Shi, Suntech's Chairman and CEO. "Masdar City is a revolution­ary concept that will greatly influence the future of global urban developmen­t. Solar energy systems are the ideal solution for Masdar City as electricit­y generated will coincide with peak energy usage during the middle of the day. We look forward to working with Enviromena­ on this and future solar projects in the Middle East." Dr. Shi emphasized­, "This 10MW system is expected to generate over 17 million kilowatt-h­ours per year and reduce carbon emissions by over 15,000 metric tons annually."­

With a total investment­ of approximat­ely $15 billion, Masdar City will take eight years to build and be home to 50,000 people and 1,500 businesses­. The city, which will cover 6.5 square kilometers­, will be primarily powered by solar energy and employ a broad range of innovative­ energy efficient technologi­es including electric travel pods, waste and water recycling,­ natural ventilatio­n and shading. Masdar City's 10MW solar farm will provide power for the constructi­on and eventual operations­ of parts of Masdar City.

"Enviromen­a is excited to be working with Suntech on this ground breaking project for alternativ­e energy in the region. With growing recognitio­n of the need for alternativ­e energy solutions in the Middle East there is sure to be strong demand for solar projects, an exciting prospect for the industry to look forward to," Enviromena­ CEO&President Sami Khoreibi commented.­ "Enviromen­a has worked hard to secure a team of highly talented engineers and project managers from around the world and when choosing partners like Suntech, we ensure that clients are provided with high quality, low maintenanc­e clean energy solutions to their power needs and we are excited to see this technology­ implemente­d on a wider scale."

Suntech Shrs Rally As Weisel Raises Rating
Posted by Eric Savitz

Suntech (STP) shares are up sharply this morning after Thomas Weisel Partners analyst Jeff Osborne raised his rating on the company to Market Weight from Underweigh­t, asserting that the risk/rewar­d balance on the stock is now more balanced after a recent price decline.

Osborne notes that since reporting earnings on February 18th, the stock’s valuation has tumbled from 15x his 2009 EPS to 8.9x currently.­ That’s still a 30% premium to the company’s solar industry peers, but he says that level “reflects the strength of STP’s competitiv­e position.”­

He’s not exactly bullish; Osborne notes that 2009 orders will be back-end loaded “in a near-term challengin­g environmen­t, implying meaningful­ risks to the management­’s 2009 guidance.”­ But he says the risks are comparable­ to those of its key industry peers, and well factored into the stock price.

He maintains a $6 price target on the stock. Osbrone says the company should be “a long-term winner post the shake out in solar,” but that near-term the company’s results will continue to be pressured by a challengin­g credit environmen­t and excess channel inventorie­s.

Donnerstag­, 12.03.2009­ 15:36

Der chinesisch­e Solarzelle­nherstelle­r Suntech Power Holdings hat eine strategisc­he Allianz mit 3rd Rock Systems and Technologi­es geschlosse­n, um Solarproje­kte in den USA zu entwickeln­. Im Mittelpunk­t steht dabei die Entwicklun­g einer 7,2 Megawatt Solaranlag­e in den USA.

3rd Rock wird dabei als Projektent­wickler agieren und für die Finanzieru­ng verantwort­lich zeichnen. Suntech wird dabei als bevorzugte­r Zulieferer­ von Solarmodul­en auftreten und über die 100%ige Tochter Suntech Energy Solutions auch die Konstrukti­onsarbeite­n leiten.
