Battery business than the major JA Solar woeful

JA Solar JASolarHoldingsCo., ADR bad doped expected, and no end of consecutive losses for the company how much hope. This is because a large part of the company's sales still come from low-margin small solar cells .

Thursday, JA Solar shares fell as much as 7%. The company expects third-quarter shipments almost flat, unlike other competitors that have higher expectations. The difference with competitors that rely heavily on JA Solar production of solar cells. The company's second-quarter total shipments of 463.7MW, which accounted for approximately 45% of the solar cell.

As a solar panel accessories, solar cells, low prices, the decline in demand, because in order to reduce costs, many solar companies are now using solar cells are homegrown. On the other hand, solar panels china more profitable.

"JA Solar's operations include solar cells outsourcing, in the bottom of the supply chain, and still are not profitable businesses??" S & P Capital Intelligence analyst AngeloZino representation. He gave the stock a "buy" rating.

Number of Chinese PV companies have said that solar panel prices began to stabilize. Over the past two years, the solar panel prices fell more than 60%. Solar panel demand, especially demand from Japan, so that these photovoltaic business prospects even brighter.

JinkoSolar second quarter ended seven consecutive quarters of losses, profitability. Astor solar year is expected to achieve profitability, while Trina said that this year's goal is profit.

Including JA Solar, including the Chinese solar manufacturers who profit from exports to the European market, however, by the European season on solar products imported from China to limit the decline in sales.

Analysts said the company is expected to almost flat shipments was mainly due to the decline in demand in Europe, the European project will be imported from China solar products scale control in 7GW / years.

"The second half we will not see (JA Solar) any significant earnings improvement," Arete Research analyst JimFontanelli said. According to Thomson Reuters predicted that the company at least until the end of 2014 will not be profitable.

JA Solar expects third-quarter shipments of photovoltaic products, 450-470MW. Boosted by demand in Japan, the company's shipments in the second quarter increased 11% to 463.7MW.

Quarter the company's gross margin from 4.8% to 8.1%, but the cost increase of approximately 18%. In contrast JinkoSolar costs fell 22% in the second quarter.

"It seems unlikely that we see (JA Solar) third-quarter gross margin improvement," the analyst JimFontanelli representation.

Reported JA Solar second quarter net loss narrowed to $ 21.6 million, equivalent to 58 cents per American Depositary loss; revenue fell 12% to $ 258.1 million. A year earlier, the company lost $ 72.1 million, loss of $ 1.91 per American Depositary.

JA Solar is also trying to expand the business of construction of solar power plants to compensate for the impact of reduced market share in Europe. Traditionally, Europe is the company's largest market.

Analysts, however, this strategy of the company hold?? Skepticism, because the majority of the company's development projects are located in the prices of solar products in China the world's lowest.

"Buried" in the ground God Qihuobite houses

You may have seen "Lord of the Rings" Lihuobite people live in small houses, those "buried" in the ground, lovely and comfortable house is probably dwarf pursue your dream house. Now "inhabitat" website tells you that your dream has become a reality, you do not need money in, it takes less than thirty thousand will be able to build such an amazing house.

Simon Dale (Simon Dale) proved to be designed and built a beautiful, comfortable, low energy consumption of the house, we do not necessarily want to be an architect. He only spent £ 3,000 (about 28,301 yuan), using a few simple tools, in-laws and friends help to build a special Hobbits live in a small house. The Hobbit houses almost never in the visual and environmental impact on the surrounding landscape. The self-proclaimed builders portrait Wales other designers use the nearby forest of natural materials, the use of alternative energy and his rich imagination created with nature gentle, natural lighting houses.

We note that in recent years as more and more people seek alternatives to the big house, people living dwarf houses Hobbit heightened interest, that it is better to live in the form. For example, the Swiss people have a house, "buried" in the ground, but he did not make the best of the Dell family, choosing instead to luxury decoration. Hobbit house architecture is felled by local structures made of oak, retaining walls and foundations are built of stone and mud barrier made of straw bales covered shelter for floors, walls, roofs.

Use breathable lime mud walls, it consumes less than a manifestation of cement capacity, while all other such as flooring, decoration, windows, pipes and other internal facilities are drawn from discarded materials. Wood-burning stove for the house heating, cleverly designed from the underground pipeline system transporting cold air kept at the optimum temperature of the housing, skylights designed house offers plenty of natural light, drinking water from the nearby spring, solar panels china to provide a Dell music, computers, lighting and other equipment required for all electricity. Neither formal qualifications for those with little money people, these magical dwarf Hobbit house so they want a house close to the earth's dream become a reality.

In fact, today, Siemens (China) is still the club's official website is introduced

It can "for large ground-based and rooftop photovoltaic power plant provides general contracting services and turn-key project"; Can "provide a wide range of solar thermal power generation solutions, including all the key components of one-stop solar panels china power plant solution", "providing nearly 70% of the solar thermal power plant parts".

And so, as you can to provide total service package and components of thermal power generation business (business) of field, it is Siemens solar business advantage in the plate (photovoltaics, Siemens provides total package service only).

So-called solar-thermal power generation, namely by focus the rays of heat, heat water or produce steam air driven generators.

Although its and photovoltaic power generation, belong to the solar industry, but compared with pv "using polycrystalline panels that convert light energy into electricity power generation principle, between the two very different.

Zhongguancun science and technology association relevant personage introduces to the reporter, "the advantage of the solar-thermal power generation is that it does not need poly panels of light energy conversion, so there is no need to polysilicon, also does not exist naturally pollution problem.

In addition, on the premise of monocrystalline solar panel power stations reaches a certain size, its electricity from photovoltaic has certain advantages, according to international experience (theoretical), 1000 mw thermal power plant electricity price could fall to $0.7 to $0.8 per KWH".

But in fact, with the worsening of the market situation, Siemens solar-thermal increasingly bumpy road.

For light business, Siemens in the given securities daily interview reply also noted, "due to the popularity of hot solar receiver level, in the present and predictable in the solar market is low, it makes acquisition plan is hard to meet the needs of buyers and sellers at the same time".

For this shut down its solar business department, Siemens the needed price, there are rumours that Siemens will cut 280 jobs, the vast majority of business in Israel.

Shut down the business cost nearly 50 million euros for the cost.

However, Siemens does not give the reporter the interview reply to confirm the above content and digital.

Its introduction, "Siemens decided to stop the production activities of the business and the business adjustment, enable Siemens to finish ongoing projects and to provide on-site service to existing customers, commitment to quality assurance".
