  • Company Case Study: Suntech Power Holdings Co
    CASE STUDY: SUNTECH POWER Introduction Suntech Power, a major manufacturer of solar cells and modules, was founded in 2001. In December 2006, the company’s production capacity expanded to 300MW, and production capacity is expected to reach 1GW by 2010. Suntech is currently ranked as the No. 3 silicon cell manufacturer worldwide and the largest solar module manufacturer internationally. With four production sites at Wuxi, Luoyang, Qinghai and Shanghai (under construction), Suntech has 4000 global employees. Suntech also owns MSK Corporation, a leading PV module manufacturer and Building-Integrated PV company in Japan. Suntech’s largest markets are (in order): Germany, Spain and the United States. About 80 percent of the company’s products are sold in Europe, but the company anticipates a major expansion in the U.S. market in the coming years. Theme Suntech demonstrates the potential for manufacturers of solar cell technology to thrive in China, which is on track to become the world’s number one PV producer in 2008 with a market share of over 18%. Despite its success in international markets, however, Suntech—and other solar energy companies—have met with difficulties in fully penetrating the Chinese market, and future prospects for continued rapid growth in China are uncertain. While China is making strides towards encouraging its renewable energy industries, significant obstacles for PV manufacturers remain. Internal Factors Suntech was founded by Dr. Zhengrong Shi, who also serves as chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer. Prior to founding Suntech in 2001, he was a research director and executive director of Pacific Solar Pty., Ltd., an Australian PV company engaged in the commercialization of next-generation thin film technology.

Mainland China’s First Public Debt Default Authors Irina Makarova Executive Summary +1 (212) 553-4307 . Last month, Suntech Power Holdings failed to repay its maturing $541 million bond [email protected] issue, becoming mainland China’s first public company to default on its debt.

Moody’s Analytics’ proprietary credit risk metric for Suntech – known as the EDFTM (Expected Default Frequency) measure – began to signal a heightened risk of default David T. Hamilton, PhD as early as 2008. In September 2011, Suntech’s EDF measure suggested a 29% +1 (212) 553-1695 likelihood of default within 12 months. By August 2012 – seven months prior to the [email protected] company’s default – the metric rose to 35%. Decomposing Suntech’s EDF metric, we observe that the company’s default was caused by both deteriorating financial performance and increasing financial risk. Between 2008 and last month’s default, the market value of Suntech’s assets fell by 50%, while its liabilities grew by 368%, resulting in a nearly nine-fold increase in About leverage. By early 2012, the market value of the company’s assets was nearly equivalent Analyses from Moody’s Capital Markets to its total liabilities.

  • Chinese Photovoltaic Market and Industry Outlook (Part 1)
    IEEJ: April 2010 Chinese Photovoltaic Market and Industry Outlook (Part 1) Kan Sichao* Summary In China over the recent years, wind power, solar energy and other renewable energy sources have been expected to become not only promising tools against climate change but also a key economic growth driver. Particularly, growth of Chinese photovoltaic cell makers has attracted global attention. However, the Chinese government has been unable to provide sufficient support for them because of huge fiscal costs. China's PV market is still inactive. As PV costs are expected to decline substantially due to a silicon price fall in 2008, however, the Chinese PV market is projected to achieve dramatic growth. In early 2009, the Chinese government came up with measures to subsidize and promote PV. In December, it became clear that the country will revise its PV generation target for 2020 upward to 20 gigawatts. While giving positive considerations to the exploration of the domestic PV market and the development of relevant industries, the Chinese government has recognized the domestic industries’ technological capacity shortages, overheated investment and other problems and indicated a cautious attitude. Part 1 of this paper outlines China’s PV projects, focusing on the PV market and PV promotion measures. 1. Introduction On September 22, 2009, Chinese President Hu Jintao delivered an attention-attracting speech at the U.N. Climate Change Summit held at the U.N. Headquarters in New York. China would incorporate climate change measures into its economic and social development plan and take more effective measures for the promotion of renewable and nuclear energy, he said.
