OPPORTUNITIES

Subsidy Programs: Governments, most notably China, have increased their financial support for solar projects. China is aiming at increasing its installed solar power capacity to 2 GW by 2011 from 140 MW capacity at fiscal-end 2008. To fulfill this objective, the Chinese government offers a 20 yuan/watt subsidy to solar PV projects whose single installed capacity exceeds 50 kWp. JA Solar Holdings Company Ltd. (Nasdaq: JASO) and China Sunergy Company Ltd. (Nasdaq: CSUN) under our coverage stand to benefit from this move.

Earlier under the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) passed in February 2009, the U.S. Treasury Department implemented a program to issue cash grants in lieu of investment tax credit for renewable energy projects. Recent focus on renewable sources will greatly benefit green crusader companies like Rentech Inc. (AMEX: RTK). Also, the U.S. has implemented a loan guarantee program to help developers obtain financing for solar power projects.
