Industry consolidation is on the way as the state tightens financing on the smaller players to push them out:
Tighter financing environment in China along with more concentrated distribution of downstream solar projects are some of the primary drivers of consolidation in our view. We expect to get more details on both fronts – in particular, we expect a handful of companies with strong relationships with state owned enterprises to gain share in the Chinese solar market. Our current models do not assume significant share gains for tier 1 Chinese companies such as TSL, YGE and we expect significant upside to our 2014 estimates if these companies were to gain market share.
