anstehende Solar IPOs - 500 Beiträge pro Seite

[meinolf67]

Möchte hiermit eine Plattform zum Info-Austausch zu anstehenden Solar-IPOs eröffnen.

Soweit ich weiss, beabsichtigen folgende Unternehmen kurzfristig einen Börsengang:

PV, Crystalox (LSE)
Yingli Green Energy (NYSE: YGE)
GT Solar (NYSE(?): SOLR)
LDK Solar(NYSE: LDK)

Es wäre interessant, zu erfahren, wann genau der jeweilige IPO startet und zu welchen Konditionen.

Zu Yingli kam gestern, dass 29 Mio ADRs zu $11-$13 angeboten werden sollen.

Wer weiss mehr?

Sobald es möglich ist, werde ich zu jedem Wert einen eigenen Thread eröffnen.

YINGLI

WASHINGTON, May 22 (Reuters) - Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. Ltd. on Tuesday set its planned initial public offering at 29 million American depositary shares (ADS) for between $11 and $13 per share.

The Chinese manufacturer of solar energy products said it plans to sell 26.55 million shares while a controlling shareholder, Yingli Power Holding Company Ltd, will sell another 2.45 million shares.

Each ADS will represent one common share in the IPO.

In an amended offering document filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the company said underwriters will have the option to buy another 4.35 million shares to meet demand.

LDK

May 14 (Reuters) - China's LDK Solar Co. Ltd. set the terms of its initial public offering on Monday by saying it would offer about 17.4 million American depositary shares at an estimated price of $25 to $27 per ADS.

The company said in an amended filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that it plans to sell about 13.4 million ADS, and the remaining shares would be offered by its stockholders.

LDK Solar, which manufactures solar wafers to produce solar cells, said Morgan Stanley, UBS Investment Bank and Piper Jaffray, among others, were underwriting the IPO.

The underwriters have a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2.6 million ADSs to cover over-allotments, the company said.

The company said it plans to use the net proceeds from the offering to expand production capacity, purchase or prepay for polysilicon feedstock, invest in research and development efforts, and for general corporate purposes.

LDK Solar said it applied for a New York Stock Exchange listing under the symbol "LDK."

For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the company reported net sales of $73.4 million. Net income for the period was $24.5 million, or 27 cents per ADS. (Reporting by Deepti Chaudhary in Bangalore)

The Heat is On: Solar Stocks Feeling the Cramer Effect
Monday May 21, 2:56 am ET

Himanshu Pandya submits: Solar stocks felt the heat Friday as Jim Cramer went bearish on the industry.

Here’s what he had to say (via Seeking Alpha):

ADVERTISEMENT
Moving on, Cramer would say goodbye to sun power stocks, because, like the dot.com craze in the 90s, “I think you are going to get a textbook case of oversupply.” Cramer would sell every solar stock including SPWR, ESLR, TSL and even his favorite FSLR. The only company with a solar connection Cramer likes is CY, a semiconductor company which is aggressively buying back shares and owns “the lion’s share” of Sunpower. He feels the company could be split in two and urges investors to “buy CY before it buys itself.”

Here’s the action in Solar stocks Friday:

Cramer_Solar

Chinese Solar stocks felt additional heat as China’s central bank said it’s widening the trading band of the yuan, hiking interest rates and increasing banks’ reserve requirements, in a move to cool its surging stock market.

I am not sure what Jim Cramer is basing his assessment on but it seems like Solar Stocks do need some time off to cool off. Of course, I do have a bias here as I am short First Solar (NasdaqGM: FSLR) and sold Suntech Power (NYSE: STP - News) a few weeks ago. I am also short MEMC Electronics (NYSE: WFR - News).

It would be interesting to see how Solar stocks react this week because long term downtrend might provide a buying opportunity.

[meinolf67]

Was Cramer mit "oversupply" zu meinen scheint, ist ein Überangebot von Solar-AKTIEN.

Deshalb die Erwähnung hier.

Ein Rückgang käme mir sehr gelegen, da ich auf gute Preise für die guten Unternehmen warte.

Falls nicht so bekannt:

PVC und LDK sind im Bereich Ingot/Wafer tätig
Yingli ist ein in Deutschland inzwischen ziemlich bedeutender Zellhersteller, Photowatt auch
GT Solar ist Lieferant der Kristallisationsöfen und neuerdings wohl auch schlüsselfertiger Linien

PS: die Lieferung von 2 Reaktoren zur SI-Herstellung hat bei Sunways gestern zu einer Kursexplosion geführt, GT's Maschinen kommen einen Schritt danach in der Produktionskette.

Nitol Solar puts float on hold

By David Blackwell

Published: February 15 2008 02:00 | Last updated: February 15 2008 02:00

Nitol Solar, the Russia-based maker of high-purity silicon, has abandoned plans to raise up to $300m (£152.3m) via a flotation on the London Stock Exchange.

The company blamed market conditions for its decision to postpone the IPO, which would have valued the company at about $1bn.

A week ago, Turner and Townsend, a project management and consultancy group, also blamed poor sentiment for the failure to complete its flotation on the full list. It had been seeking to raise up to £80m and would have had a market valuation of about £200m.

Among other flotations that have been pulled in the past three months was another large Russian company, Russian Timber Group, which had been planning to raise £100m on Aim. It has harvesting rights on forests covering an area larger than Wales and was hoping for a market valuation of £370m.

Nitol, which was advised by Credit Suisse and Citigroup, announced its plans for a listing less than a month ago. It was planning to use the money raised from the IPO for equipment to ramp up production of silicon, which is in great demand from the solar panel industry.

It wants to produce about 3,700 tonnes of silicon a year from 2010 onwards at its plant in Usolie-Sibirskoe, Siberia. At the moment it is producing only a few hundred tonnes a year.

The silicon needed for solar cells is difficult to make as it needs to be at least 99.9999 per cent pure.

Dmitry Kotenko, the 36-year-old engineer who heads Nitol, plans to put the company among the elite that can produce such silicon.

Global demand for solar cells has has soared and contract silicon prices have doubled over the past four years to between $60 and $70 a kilo.

Sinosol Plans Initial Share Sale This Year to Finance Expansion

By Joseph Mapother

June 4 (Bloomberg) -- Sinosol AG, a photovoltaic systems maker with subsidiaries in Germany and China, plans to sell shares publicly for the first time this year to fund expansion.

The Stuttgart, Germany-based company gave no financial details of the sale in an e-mailed statement today. A listing on the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt stock exchange is dependent on market conditions, it said.

Sinosol has seven units with combined sales of 35.6 million euros ($55 million) and a pretax profit of 2.2 million euros in the six months ending March 31, the company said.

GT Solar kommt wohl nächste Woche:

CORRECTED: GT Solar hopes sun will come out next week
Fri Jul 18, 2008 7:23pm EDT

(Corrects earnings year used for P/E calculation in ninth paragraph to 2008) NEW YORK (Reuters) - GT Solar International Inc's initial public offering, expected to be the largest ever by a U.S. solar company, is facing a surprisingly cloudy outlook.

Despite red-hot industry growth, as the price of competing energy sources soars, investors have not shown a sunny disposition toward solar energy stocks lately.

The stocks of industry leaders Suntech Power Holdings Co Ltd (STP.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) and Applied Materials Inc (AMAT.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), among others, have been cooling from March rally levels since late May. Suntech is down about 18 percent from its high in spring, while Applied Materials is down about 9 percent.

Those declines could cast a pall over GT Solar, a Merrimack, New Hampshire-based maker of the manufacturing equipment used by solar energy companies, whose IPO is scheduled for next week.

"It'll hurt that solar stocks have been volatile," said Samuel Snyder, a senior research analyst with Greenwich, Connecticut-based advisory firm Renaissance Capital. "But investors will see unique aspects that make GT Solar attractive."

One of those advantages is GT Solar's position as one of only a few makers of the manufacturing equipment used by the solar companies, analysts say.

"It's a less fragmented arena," said Pavel Molchanov, an alternative energy analyst with Raymond James & Associates. "The landscape is not quite as competitive."

GT Solar's regulatory filings also reveal a compound annual growth rate of 128 percent in the past two years that should comfort investors, with revenues of $244 million for the year ended in March.

That growth rate explains why GT Solar would trade at 66 times 2008 earnings if the IPO priced at the midpoint of its forecast range, a high multiple compared with those of other solar stocks, said Scott Sweet, an analyst with IPO Boutique.

GT Solar's IPO is forecast to price in a range of $15.50 to $17.50, with a midpoint of $16.50 a share.

"Their growth is astronomical and they have a backlog, so it will support a higher price-earnings ratio," Sweet said. In its filing, the company said it has an order backlog of $1.3 billion.

Other solar companies have widely varying multiples based on 2007 earnings, from a price/earnings ratio of nearly 36 for Suntech and 15 for Applied Technologies. First Solar Inc (FSLR.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), one of the few solar stocks doing well lately, is trading at a multiple of nearly 200, while SunPower Corp's (SPWR.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) multiple is 60 and LDK Solar Co Ltd's (LDK.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) is 26.

SKITTISH INVESTORS

Investors are skittish about cutbacks to subsidies in Spain, a major market, and the uncertainty during an election year around the renewal of a U.S. federal tax credit set to expire in December that has spurred industry growth.

The tight market for silicon, a key component in the process of turning sunlight into power, might hurt solar energy's economics, as could a sustained fall in oil prices.

While oil doesn't have a direct correlation to demand for solar power, since most electricity in the United States is generated from coal or natural gas, higher crude oil prices generally help boost investor interest in renewable energy.

Last year saw a spate of solar IPOs in the U.S., including Chinese manufacturers LDK Solar and Yingli Green Energy Holding Co Ltd (YGE.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz). In 2008, there has been only one solar IPO so far, Real Goods Solar Inc's (RSOL.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) modest $55 million debut in May.

Should GT Solar raise $500 million as planned when it goes public, the offering will be the largest-ever U.S. solar IPO and the sixth-largest U.S. IPO of the year overall, according to data from Dealogic. The company plans to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker "SOLR" SOLR.O.

THE REAL DEAL

Even if solar subsidies were scaled back, the market has reached a maturity and viability that should reassure investors, analysts say.

"There is a disconnect between the fundamentals of the industry and how stocks are trading," said Molchanov at Raymond James. "Solar adoption rates are still barely scratching the surface," he said, pointing to solar energy's 0.1 percent share of the U.S. electric power market, and the 3 percent share in Germany, by far the world's largest market.

According to data from research firm Global Markets Direct, solar energy was an $18 billion global industry in 2007, growing at a pace of about 35 percent per year in the last three years. In the United States, the $1.4 billion market is growing even more quickly, at a clip of 60 percent per year.

Ultimately, of course, how GT Solar performs at its debut may hinge on how the capricious markets are feeling that day, said Sal Morreale, who tracks IPOs for financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald.

"In an environment like this, an IPO like GT Solar is day to day," he said.

China solar firm Shunda aims for $1 bln IPO in NY

By Helen Ding

SHANGHAI, Aug 11 (Reuters) - China's Jiangsu Shunda Group, which makes silicon wafers used in solar power cells, aims to raise $1 billion from a share listing in New York during the first half of next year to fund rapid expansion, its president said on Monday.

It plans to invest 1.2 billion yuan ($175 million) in a second polysilicon plant with annual production capacity of 3,500 tonnes, aiming to launch output in June 2009, Ni Yunda told Reuters in a telephone interview.

Ni said the company expected net profit this year of 400 million to 500 million yuan, rising to more than 2 billion yuan next year, boosted by its first polysilicon plant, a 2,500 tonne per year facility due to begin production this month.

"We already met the conditions for a New York listing last year and all the materials are ready to be submitted," Ni said.

"But I have halted the process, as there are still major uncertainties (with the polysilicon plant not yet operating), and we need to have a handle on the situation."

He said he expects the company to confirm by October whether its first polysilicon plant meets global standards, after which it will proceed with the New York listing.

The company had originally prepared to seek to raise $600 million, but has raised that amount to $1 billion, he said.

The company supplies silicon wafers to major solar cell producers, including Suntech Power Holdings Co (STP.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), which holds a 15 percent stake in Shunda, as well as Q-Cells AG (QCEG.DE: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) and Japan's Sharp Corp (6753.T: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz).

Shanghai Chaori IPO Application Rejected on Environmental Record
07-17 13:38 Caijing comments( 0 )


The first IPO application sponsored by Pacific Securities was turned down by the China Securities Regulatory Commission.


By staff reporter Zhang Bing

(Caijijng.com.cn) Shanghai Chaori Solar Energy Science & Technology Co.'s IPO application was rejected by regulators because of the company's record of environment penalties, a source from a securities firm told Caijing.

Chaori was fined 100,000 yuan in 2007 for importing banned photosensitive semiconductors, the source said, adding that Chaori's factories were found to be mostly rented from third parties.

Chaori had planned to issue 40 million A shares to fund a solar battery plant in central China's Henan province.

Under IPO rules, a company's record must for a set period be clear of any administrative penalties concerning matters related to tax, land use, environmental protection and customs.

The lack of production facilities also suggests that the company may have been light on assets. IPO candidates are required to demonstrate legitimate ownership of operating assets as well as meet minimum standards for tangible assets.

The planned share offer was to be the first IPO sponsored by Shanghai-listed Pacific Securities Co. (SH 601099), a brokerage based in Kunming, the capital of southwest China's Yunnan province.

The securities firm source was not from Pacific Securities Co.

Shares of Pacific Securities closed down 0.91 percent at 19.63 yuan on July 16.

Bakhu Holdings Corp. Announces Letter of Intent to Acquire a Solar Manufacturer Based in China
Highlighted Links


MacReport Media Publishing

LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - July 24, 2009) - Bakhu Holdings Corp. ("the Company" or "we") (OTCBB: BKUH) today announced that the company has entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire 100% of the assets and shares of Shenzhen Xinhonglian Solar Energy Co., Ltd. (SXSE). The Letter of Intent signifies a significant step towards Bakhu acquiring an established manufacturer of solar powered products and photovoltaic (PV) solar panels.

SXSE was established in 2002 as a private company in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, Peoples Republic of China. The company began its business by purchasing irregular solar cells from solar cell manufacturers, which the company utilized to manufacture a wide range of solar products for commercial and consumer applications. In 2004, the company built on its success by expanding to make PV solar panels. Today, the company produces PV solar panels and an array of solar products, all of which use solar cells as the power source.

SXSE manufactures and sells 35 different PV solar panels, ranging from 10W (watts) to 250W. These PV solar panels are used in both industrial and residential applications. SXSE uses high quality solar cells which it purchases from cell manufacturers in Japan and Taiwan. Solar products manufactured by the company for commercial and consumer use include portable lights for various applications, lane markers, solar street lights, solar traffic lights and battery chargers.

SXSE employs 100 workers in its manufacturing operation and 10 engineers who design products and oversee the fabrication processes. The factory is located in an industrial part of Shenzhen and occupies 1500 square meters.

Mr. Xinan Zeng, the founder and CEO of SXSE, commented, "With our company going public through the acquisition by Bakhu we will be able to access capital that will enable us to expand our production capability and fill orders we are currently turning away due to a lack of capacity to fill the orders in a timely manner. We are extremely excited about the bright future our company will have."

Bakhu Holdings Corp. is also conducting business as Bakhu Solar Corp. and is in the process of finalizing arrangements with SXSE into a binding Memorandum of Understanding that will set forth all the terms and timing of the acquisition.

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

A number of statements contained in this press release are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including activities relating to the completion of the merger between Shenzhen Xinhonglian Solar Energy Co., Ltd (SXSE) and Bakhu Holdings Corp. These activities include the completion of an audit by a PCAOB designated accounting firm and the transfer of SXSE's assets to a Hong Kong based company, our ability to raise capital when needed and on acceptable terms and conditions, the intensity of competition and general economic factors. The actual results Bakhu Holdings Corp. may achieve could differ materially from any forward-looking statements due to such risks and uncertainties. Bakhu Holdings Corp encourages the public to read the information provided here in conjunction with its most recent filings, which may be viewed at www.sec.gov.

INDIAN FIRM TO FUND PV CELL FACTORY VIA IPO
18 Sep 2009 / Solar / PUBLIC MARKETS / India

Indian optical storage device maker Euro Multivision is planning to raise nearly INR 660m (USD 14m) from the capital market to fund its proposed 40MW PV cell manufacturing plant.

EML had first announced in January 2008 that it intends to foray into the solar sector and fund the new business by going public. However, the plan was delayed as the firm did not get approval from the market regulator for its proposed IPO for many months.

In an interview with New Energy Finance in August last year, a company spokesperson had said that the firm had shelved the IPO plans and was looking to raise funds via the equity route.

However, the company is now reverting to its original plans and the IPO will hit the market by 22 September 2009.

“We feel the market has stabilised now and it is the right time to raise funds”, said a company spokesperson.

The firm’s proposed PV cell manufacturing unit in the Kutch district of Gujarat will require an investment of nearly INR 1.6bn (USD 35m). The company spokesperson said that EML has signed a new term loan agreement with local banks totalling INR 1bn (USD 20.7m).

The remaining funds for the factory will come from the IPO proceeds.

Euro Multivision is India’s second largest manufacturer of VCDs and DVDs after Moser Baer (BSE: 517140). The firm seems to be following the footsteps of its key competitor which has a significant presence in solar manufacturing.

Zwei große Börsengänge nach langer Flaute

Von Hanno Mußler und Werner Sturbeck

20. November 2009 Nach monatelanger Flaute wollen noch zwei Unternehmen in diesem Jahr den Markt für Börsengänge in Deutschland wiederbeleben. Anlässlich der für den 4. Dezember geplanten Erstnotiz an der Deutschen Börse in Frankfurt plant der Baukonzern Hochtief Aktien seiner Infrastruktursparte Hochtief Concessions für möglichst eine Milliarden Euro zu verkaufen. Das dänische Unternehmen Scan Energy strebt am 9. Dezember erstmals auf das Börsenparkett in Frankfurt.

Der Wind- und Solarstromerzeuger plant 17,5 Millionen Aktien ausschließlich aus einer Kapitalerhöhung zu verkaufen. Als Bruttoeinnahmen ist ein Ziel von 228 bis 280 Millionen Euro vorgegeben. Daraus lässt sich eine Preisspanne von 13 bis 16 Euro je Aktie ableiten. Die genaue Preisspanne, in der die Scan-Energy-Aktien vor dem Börsengang bis zum 7. Dezember gezeichnet werden können, wird aber in Reaktion auf die Gespräche mit Anlegern in den nächsten Tagen erst noch festgelegt. Die letzte große Aktienneuemission in Frankfurt war im Juni 2008 SMA Solar.

Während Scan Energy seinen Börsengang wie üblich mit einer Pressekonferenz in Frankfurt vorbereitete,

gab Hochtief ... Fall Mehrheitsaktionär bleiben...

Börsengang bei Scan Energy eigentlich später geplant

Die Eigentümer von Scan Energy dagegen werden, von einer kleinen Plazierungsreserve (Greenshoe) abgesehen, die nächsten zwölf Monate überhaupt keine Aktien verkaufen. Der gesamte Emissionserlös soll dem Unternehmen zufließen, das in diesem Jahr rund 100 Millionen Euro Umsatz machen wird. Am unteren Ende der vermuteten Preisspanne wird das defizitäre und hochverschuldete, noch mindestens drei Jahre in der Investitionsphase befindliche Unternehmen mit 320 Millionen Euro bewertet. Analysten kommen je nach in der Zukunft prognostiziertem Schuldenstand auf einen Unternehmenswert vor der Kapitalerhöhung zwischen 400 und 500 Millionen Euro.

Wie Unternehmensgründer Karsten Olsen am Freitag in Frankfurt zugab, war der Börsengang ursprünglich für einen späteren Zeitpunkt geplant. Da aber Scan Energy eine Kreditvereinbarung nicht erfüllen konnte, beharrt die HSH Nordbank auf einer schnellen Rückzahlung des Kredites von 40 Millionen Euro mit Hilfe des Börsenerlöses. Die HSH Nordbank ist auch mit 7 Prozent der Aktien an Scan Energy beteiligt. Die 2003 gegründete Scan Energy kommt mit Windkraft- und Solarstromanlagen derzeit auf ein Bruttoproduktionsvolumen von 514 Megawatt, der Großteil des Stroms wird in Deutschland erzeugt. Der nach 25 Jahren Banktätigkeit im Juli zum Unternehmen gestoßene Henrik Frøsig soll erst im kommenden Jahr offiziell zum Finanzvorstand berufen werden.

UPDATE 1-JinkoSolar files for $100 mln IPO
Wed Jan 20, 2010 5:12pm EST

* Files for IPO up to $100 mln
* Proceeds to expand manufacturing, and for R&D

NEW YORK, Jan 20 (Reuters) - China-based solar company JinkoSolar Holding Co Ltd on Wednesday filed for an initial public offering of up to $100 million.

The company, which makes silicon wafers, solar cells and solar modules, said it would use proceeds from the IPO to expand its manufacturing, for research and development, and for working capital, but did not give details in its filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Solar companies struggled in 2009 against a global oversupply that forced them to cut prices and has pressured both revenue and margins.

But demand has improved and investors are looking for signs that the industry will recover its sharp growth.

Earlier this month China's Daqo New Energy Corp, which manufactures polysilicon for solar panel makers, filed for an IPO of up to $108 million. In December, California solar company Solyndra Inc filed for an IPO of up to $300 million -- but Chinese thin film panel maker Trony Solar Holdings in December postponed indefinitely its IPO due to poor market conditions.

JinkoSolar posted revenue of 880 million yuan ($128.9 million) in the nine months ended Sept. 30, down 42.8 percent from the same period a year ago. It posted net income of 1.72 million yuan, compared with 179.2 million yuan a year ago.

JinkoSolar posted a 36.5 million yuan loss on the fair value of derivatives in the nine months ended Sept. 30, compared with a 204,000 yuan gain in the year-ago period.

Major shareholders in the company include executives and funds affiliated with HSBC. The company did not disclose who would be selling shares.

Jinkosolar plans to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "JKS." Underwriters are being led by Goldman Sachs in Asia and Credit Suisse. (Reporting by Clare Baldwin; Editing Bernard Orr)

Jinko and Daqo Withdraw Their Solar IPOs: Sky's Not Falling
by: Greentech Media February 15, 2010 | about: JKS / DQ / SOLY / CDXS

Greentech Media


By Eric Wesoff

China-based Jinko Solar (JKS) withdrew its IPO plans due to "poor market conditions," according to Reuters. We reported on their IPO intentions here.

Jinko manufactures silicon solar wafers, cells and modules and had hoped to raise $100 million. Another China-based polyilicon manufacturer, Daqo New Energy (DQ), also pulled its $80 million IPO last month. Obviously investors are a bit jittery about the solar industry in an environment with slim margins for commodity-level wafers and modules. And where curtailed German subsidies might impact demand while the world waits for the U.S. and other markets to take off.

Here is Jinko and Daqo's revenue situation compared to other greentech IPO aspirants:

http://seekingalpha.com/article/188575-jinko-and-daqo-withdr…

Are these two withdrawn IPOs a tocsin for the solar industry and for greentech IPOs in general?

Put simply, no. Daqo and Jinko are money-losing and marginal players in an oversupplied, undifferentiated field.

Solyndra (SOLY) is losing money and will continue to lose money but the firm is certainly differentiated by technology. They are selling the story of the potential for new and innovative CIGS solar technology. Likewise Tesla, also losing money, is selling a story that institutional investors might believe in -- unique luxury EVs.

Solyndra still has to contend with the falling price per watt of commoditized silicon. Tesla, on the other hand, as an automotive supplier, faces a market with less clear cut value propositions. Price and value are only part of the car purchase decision.

T-Solar prepares for IPO to finance international expansion
29 March 2010 | By Emma Hughes | News > Power Generation


T-Solar is preparing to have its shares listed on the Spanish stock exchanges and traded though the Automated Quotation System (Mercado Continuo). The transaction will consist of a primary offering intended to fund large-area solar photovoltaic plants in the company's target countries including Spain, Italy, France, India, the U.S.

T-Solar's CEO, Juan Laso said, "The company wants to fund its international expansion, leveraging its project pipeline, which currently consists of 664MWp in different stages of development, and on its sound network of partners in the countries where it already operates. T-Solar's objective is to quadruple its installed capacity over the next three years and consolidate its position as one of the largest independent producers of solar photovoltaic power in the world."

Solaria Corporation Raises a Total of $65 Million, Exceeding Financing Goal

Solaria Corporation, a global manufacturer of solar photovoltaic modules, announced today that it raised more than anticipated in its just closed Series D financing round. The round's total of $65 million dollars—which includes $10 million in a growth loan facility—is $20 million above the company's original target, demonstrating investor and industry confidence in Solaria's groundbreaking solar modules and technology.

Adams Street Partners, Cycad Group, and Western Technologies Inc (WTI) recently joined the Series D round, which was led by CMEA Capital and DBL Investors, following a May 2010 close that included Sigma Partners, NGEN Partners, Mitsui Ventures and Savitr Capital. enXco-an EDF Energies Nouvelles Company also participated in the final close with a small investment.

Solaria will use the newly raised funds to increase availability of their patented modules now that they are shipping around the world.

"We're accelerating production to meet strong demand for our new modules," said Dan Shugar, CEO of Solaria. "We appreciate our customers and investors' confidence in Solaria's ability to deliver a reliable, cost effective product that advances the deployment of industrial and utility-scale solar power plants."

"We are very pleased to make an investment in Solaria, as we believe they have developed a superior low concentration solar technology ideal for large solar tracking systems," said Tom Berman, Partner, Adams Street Partners.

"Solaria's technology promises an aggressive price/performance metric, focused on meeting increased demand from utilities, independent power producers, integrators, and other energy providers who are focused on affordably deploying solar power in the years ahead," said David Kirkpatrick, vice president of solar development for enXco.

"WTI is pleased to continue its relationship with Solaria and to help them grow to the next phase. WTI is investing in Solaria because they're gaining solid traction in the solar market, securing leading customers, and partnering with key players in the industry," said Dan Holman, investment principal, WTI. WTI has also provided Solaria with $10 million in long term financing—a working capital growth loan.

Solaria modules are designed specifically for ground-mounted tracking systems and certified to UL1703 and IEC61215 standards. Solaria's proprietary manufacturing processes require only a fraction of the capital expenditure per watt of manufacturing capacity needed by standard industry processes. Solaria modules are now available to customers in North America, Europe, and Asia.

Trony hat's geschafft:

HONG KONG, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Chinese thin-film solar module maker Trony Solar Holdings Co Ltd, raised $224 million after pricing its Hong Kong initial public offering at the top of the indicative range, a source familiar with the deal said on Thursday.

Shenzhen-based Trony Solar, which shelved plans for a U.S. listing last year, sold 385 million shares at HK$4.50 each, compared with a range of HK$3.10 to HK$4.50 each, the source said.

The offering price represents a multiple of 9.4 times pre-greenshoe prospective 2011 earnings forecast by the sponsor. The company generated orders for about 500 times the number of shares initially on offer to Hong Kong retail investors, the source said.

The source has direct knowledge of the offering but was not authorised to speak on the record about the deal.

Trony's trading debut is set for Oct. 7. JP Morgan (JPM.N: Quote) is handling the deal.

China is among the world's largest suppliers of solar panels but uses little of what it produces domestically. With large projects having more than 12 Gigawatt (GW) of capacity in the pipeline, China could rapidly become a major market, according to the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA).

Chinese Silicon Wafer Producer Huantai Aims To Go Public In 2012
Apr. 10 2011 - 7:43 pm | 1,654 views | 1 recommendation | 1 comment
Chinese silicon wafer producer Jiangsu Huantai Group, a joint venture partner of MEMC Electronic Materials, aims to go public in 2012, Chairman Wang Lubao told Forbes.

Huantai would use funds from the offering for production expansion, Wang said. He didn’t say where he expects the company to list.

The outlook for the solar industry globally has improved with an increase in oil prices and concern about the safety of nuclear energy in the wake of last month’s disastrous earthquake in Japan. GE said last week that it plans to invest in a thin-film solar panel factory in the U.S. and hopes to turn solar into a major business.

Huantai expects revenues in 2012 to climb to about 10 billion yuan, or $1.5 billion, Wang said. That would be a big increase from about 3.3 billion yuan in 2010. It expects sales of about 6 billion yuan this year.

Huantai and MEMC jointly invest in Jiangsu Meike Silicon Energy, a wafer supplier in China.

Huantai until last year was a joint venture partner of U.S.-listed Chinese solar panel supplier Suntech Power in wafer supplier Glory Silicon. Suntech said last month that it had purchased the shares in a spinoff of Glory, Rietech Solar, that it didn’t already own.

Huantai, based in Yangzhong in China’s eastern Jiangsu Province, expects to begin manufacturing LED materials later this year.

Seven-year-old Zhenjiang Huantai Silicon Science and Technology, a subsidiary of Jiangsu Huantai Group, is China’s earliest wafer producer, according to the company’s website.

Microinverter Maker Enphase Energy Plans for an IPO
By Ucilia Wang, Contributor
16. Juni 2011


Enphase Energy has embarked on a road to the public market. The microinverter developer filed its intent to carry out an initial public offering on Wednesday, a move that reflected the company's need for capital to fend off a growing number of competitors.

In a government filing Wednesday, the California company said it plans to raise up to $100 million. Enphase only closed a $63 million private round in June last year, bringing the total private money raised to $104 million by then.

The company, founded in 2006, has been a leading microinverter maker. Microinverters, like the more conventional central inverter, convert direct current from solar panels into alternating current for feeding the grid or onsite use. Unlike a central inverter, which serves a bunch of solar panels at a time, each microinverter is matched with one solar panel.

Enphase says microinverters are better solutions because of their ability to calibrate and ensure the optimal energy output of each solar panel. A central inverter can do that, too, but because it is in charge of a bunch of solar panels, its calculations are influenced by the lowest-performing panels. If an array is partly in the shade, for example, then the optimal energy output of that entire array will be more on par with the output of the lower performing panels.

The company packages its microinverters with a communication gateway and performance monitoring software and service. Solar electric system owners can check out how well their solar panels are doing through an online portal.

Microinverters remain more expensive, and they haven’t been around long enough to generate enough data to show whether they will work reliably for a long time. Some installers have expressed concerns about having to replace microinverters often. So far, microinverters are largely used in residential and small commercial installations.

A growing crop of microinverters have emerged to launch products in the past year. It’s not just the startups that are now peddling microinverters. Last month, Power-One, among the top 3 inverter makers worldwide, launched a microinverter. Market leader SMA Solar Technology expects to do the same soon.

As the competition intensifies, Enphase will have to offer better and cheaper products more quickly. It also has to execute well in manufacturing and sales. All these on the must-do list require a big infusion of money, so it makes sense for the company to raise money from an IPO.

Enphase hasn’t made a profit. The company generated $61.7 million in revenue and posted $21.8 million in losses in 2010. In 2009, Enphase brought in $20.2 million in revenue and posted $16.9 million in losses. During the first quarter ending this March, the company reported $18.1 million in revenue and $9.3 million in losses.

Wels, Austria
With EUR 499 million in sales in 2010 and approximately 600 new employees, Fronius International GmbH looks back on one of the most successful fiscal years in the company's history. The technology company has also been expanding aggressively with the founding of additional international subsidiaries.

The Upper Austrian company for battery charging systems, welding technology and solar electronics is reporting sales of EUR 499 million for fiscal year 2010 (01-01-2010 to 12-31-2010). This amounts to a sales increase of approximately 52 percent compared to the previous year. The company has grown to 3250 employees with about 600 new hires in 2010 (as of 12-31-2010).

"This remarkable financial statement can be attributed to, among other things, the global recovery of the automotive industry and the strong growth in many solar markets," explains Otto Schuster, Head of Marketing and Sales.

The company's export rate is 94.9 percent. For this reason, Fronius also continued its steady course of expansion during the last fiscal year and founded additional sales subsidiaries in Australia, Great Britain and Turkey. Fronius currently has 17 international companies, as well as sales partners and representatives in more than 60 countries.

This strong growth requires the acquisition of new space for all business segments. Along with the expansion of the production and logistics site in Sattledt as well as the sales site in Wels, one of the largest domestic research and development centers is going up in Thalheim. On the international front, a new country headquarters is being built in France, the Krumau production site in the Czech Republic is being expanded and a production site for solar inverters has been constructed in Canada.

A strong Research & Development department is important to the continued technological advances of Fronius. The number of active patents is currently 737. At the end of the last fiscal year, 392 employees were working in Research & Development – that is almost ten percent more than in the year before.

"The positive trend will continue in 2011. The current upturn in the automotive industry brings major opportunities for the Welding Technology division. We will be continuing the expansion of our sales network for the Battery Charging Systems division so that we can better serve our core markets in intralogistics and the workshop segment. For the Solar Electronics division, we expect a strong third and fourth quarter since new photovoltaic incentive models have been adopted by the governments in key markets such as Germany and Italy," says Otto Schuster.

economic volatility are not optimal conditions for an IPO,” said John Woolard, President and
CEO of BrightSource Energy. “As a company, we’ve consistently made decisions in the best

“With our pipeline of U.S. contracts and our flagship Ivanpah project, we have established a
leading position in the domestic solar thermal energy space,” added Woolard. “We will continue
to execute on our business plan to grow domestically and expand internationally to meet the
growing demand for our technology.”
