U.S. and European companies complain that China is too cheap solar panels
Recently, some European and American media published an article on China’s solar panel expressed concern about the influx of other products complained of Chinese solar panels are too cheap, alleged unfair competition that the country’s solar power business could face a risk of collapse.
Foreign competitors complained that “disadvantage”
Germany’s leading solar energy company Q-Cells has released a performance report, the data showed that the company’s loss of 700 million euros in the first half. The company plans to lay off 500 people, left 2,100 and all their employees into part-time workers in a semi-unemployed state. The company also plans to cut four production lines, and to transfer these lines to Asia. Including Q-Cells of Germany, including the plight of their own solar energy companies will be attributed to Chinese enterprises, saying that the Chinese government invested a lot of money and subsidies coupled with significant cost advantage to enable Chinese enterprises to be able to capture the market a clear price advantage.
Recently, the German solar energy company has called on the EU to impose sanctions against Chinese companies, that China’s solar energy companies suspected of unfair competition. According to the German “Handelsblatt” reported that the German solar manufacturer Conergy want to join forces with other colleagues to the German government and the European Committee 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 would not be possible without the support of the national earnings. Since the silicon solar panels the prices of raw materials is open, the Chinese manufacturer has only low-cost labor and energy advantages. The proposal in the German solar energy industry, acer laptop battery,enjoy wide support, and other producers also believe that the competition with their Chinese counterparts at a disadvantage. Q-Cells spokesman had also said that “politicians should ask themselves, to the German taxpayers foot the bill for Asian products, doing so is correct?”
The United States and Australia, manufacturers of solar energy long ago In an interview with national media interviews, but also against Chinese products to them expressed dissatisfaction with the impact. California, a number of solar energy companies warned that cheap Chinese products not only that they have suffered economic losses, forced to cut staff and cut capacity, and may jeopardize the Obama government support for renewable energy industry projects. “The Australian” by the end of August in a report quoted a solar energy products in Canberra said the person in charge, the local solar energy industry by the impact of cheap Chinese products have time to respond to market demand. He also said that some Chinese solar panel price likely to drop sharply, the price dropped to 1050 from 1600 AUD Australian dollars, and some poor quality.
Cost advantage derived from various
China’s solar cell production costs of enterprises is indeed low, but this and lower labor costs and the plummeting prices of raw materials such as multiple factors related to, and not only because of China’s solar industry has been strong 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.acer zabtp-63d1 battery,acer zaaspire 1680 series battery,acer zaaspire 1690 battery,acer zaaspire 1300 battery.
“German Financial Times” Not long ago an article objectively pointed out that German companies and silicon manufacturers signed a long-term contracts, the price tied dead; however, Chinese companies can purchase from the spot market to the silicon wafer. 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 recent years the price of solar panels in China has fallen markedly.
But “The New York Times” website in an August 25 article that the Chinese government is deliberately support that this is the Chinese enterprises to sell their products at low key. It is reported that since March, the Chinese government at all levels, from local to central government, competing for the solar energy enterprises with various types of subsidies, including free land and R & D funds; the state-owned banks to the industry “rescue” to provide low-interest loans. In addition, China’s cheap labor resources obvious advantages.
British “Daily Telegraph” is biased to point out that China’s solar energy companies suspected of unfair competition that the Chinese enterprises in a variety of preferential use of domestic solar power to seize the world market, this approach “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.
Setting up factories abroad to escape barriers
However, “The New York Times,” the article also acknowledged that an organized resistance to China’s export solar energy products is not easy, because of China’s price cutting for green energy, a lot cheaper. On the other hand, if this anti-dumping cases filed, for example in the United States, you must prove that it suffered losses from U.S. companies. However, in the U.S. government tax incentives, the United States of related companies is to maintain profitability.acer zabtp-43d1 battery,acer zabtp52ew battery,acer zabtp-58a1 battery,acer zabtp-59a1 battery,acer zabtp-60a1 battery.
