He, he... it would be a shame if the US would not let Flextronics made modules branded as SunEdison, made with TWN cells to the US. So Koreans are on.

Our Chinese guys will be buying up Korean cells, unless the US will put tariff on Chinese modules period. Then off to Spain and Portugal or SA.

New York City's Pension Funds 

The comptroller's office said it essentially believes that without such information, it cannot make adequate investment decisions and thus part of the pension funds' investment could be in danger.

 

 

In an agreement with New York City's pension funds, which control Exxon shares worth roughly $1.02 billion, the company would report on risks surrounding disposal of fracking waste water, air pollution, methane emissions from oil and natural gas wells, and other issues.

Raymond James’ Pavel Molchanov Sees Stars in the Expanding Cleantech Universe

 

TER: I take it you’re not too bullish on module manufacturers.

 

PM: Generally, no. Although we look at each company individually, the module assembly part of the value chain in the solar space does not excite me. Low-cost players can have slightly better-than-average margins, but it is a pure commodity market with very little technological differentiation.

The UK has become the first European government to publish a dedicated solar PV strategy.

The strategy places particular emphasis on encouraging the deployment of rooftop solar, especially the underperforming commercial-scale sector. In addition, the strategy confirms that the government is targeting one million solar homes by 2015.
