“Financial supports” is one of the most crucial issues for today’s solar power plant development. Starting from 2014, online financial & leasing services, governmental financial supports, and YieldCo, have been ramping up. These methods help developers to create firmer and predicable cash flow for developing solar PV projects, and hence downstream PV plant development could gain stronger momentum than before.
Such financial supports are likely to stimulate power plant projects. In the meantime, reliable projects will further attract more investment, creating a positive feedback in the solar PV industry. Large markets such as USA, Europe and China are establishing and developing financial platforms or YieldCo companies to seize the opportunity and try to be the pilot in the new trend.
Besides, Hanergy’s share plummeted almost 50% last Wednesday and trading was halted. Hong Kong SFC announced to investigate the reason behind the drastic decline in Hanergy’s shares.
