Crude
oil prices have been
surging recently, and there is little
sign that the momentum will be
slowing down. Every time crude oil
reaches these types of elevated levels,
it seems that interest in
alternative forms of energy also rise.
Solar is one type of alternative energy
that gets particular attention, and
should be on investors' radar going
into 2013.
After a series of "arduous" and meticulous" negotiations, the EU and Chinese solar panel makers have settled their long-running trade dispute. Under the terms
of the deal, Chinese companies can export up to seven gigawatts each year as long as the
price doesn't fall below $0.56/ watt. Exports in excess of the annual limit or
sold below the minimum price will be subject to duties averaging 47% beginning
in August. It appears the Chinese come out ahead given that, according to
FT, the minimum price "is in line with recent averages [but] well below
the $0.80" EU companies "deemed reasonable." On watch Monday: YGE, JASO, LDK,
TSL, JKS, SOL, CSIQ,
among others
