This week at home and abroad have a number of heavyweight mergers and acquisitions, for the future of solar energy industry has opened a new scene. The parallel integration of the solar energy industry in the direction of the vertical integration of the lower reaches of the vertical integration and scale expansion, the company must be considered their business strategy to decide how to take action in the new wave and tide.
American SunEdison and TerraFormPower announced Monday mergers and acquisitions of U.S. residential system manufacturers VivintSolar, then on Tuesday announced the acquisition of British residential type system as the leading manufacturer MarkGroup. In Asia, Chinese Tongwei announced shares Taiwan gintech. Thus, manufacturers of mergers and acquisitions (M & A) has launched a cross-border, cross field action, the vendors in different areas in order to create greater profits, to accelerate the global layout, changed the past huanbujiji purchases of new equipment or overseas design mode, to direct acquisition of its plant in a way to catch up with future demand.
Lu Mingguang, chairman of the United States, said that the future of solar energy industry mergers and acquisitions direction only, a dragon (upstream and downstream integration) or the scale (parallel integration) two, although the model adopted by the company's operating mode and set, but the focus is to reduce costs, to profit".
Analysts Gao Jiaxi that future Taiwan solar plant may be whole and to leave two to four, Sino American Silicon and Xu Hong, Sun Microsystems, and European components Aleo plant are taken upstream and downstream integration strategy, and Motech mergers and acquisitions Lejoin, or Tongwei shares Yu Jing is in parallel integration, in the field of battery expand the scale, maintain a leading edge. In this wave of consolidation tide. Several overseas manufacturers are also not absent, especially SunEdison and SolarCity buttressed by rich resources large-scale mergers and acquisitions of upstream and downstream components, the system works, respectively to different vertical or horizontal integration strategy to optimize products and services to enhance the profit or expand market share rate.
Using the integration and optimization of resources, and enhance the operation scale and efficiency, through the combined expansion of the industry scale to further depress costs, enhance the competitiveness of the upstream and downstream industries, it can be expected to be the next hand with the goal of the manufacturers of resources.
