illumination Illumination... i usually enjoy your posts but your diatribe on the EU-China PV tariff is getting old. It was settled as of August 6th as far as PV is concerned and companies agreeing to the terms can move forward with certainty as well as their clients.
The only question to ask is does QSolar accept the terms. If so... they can go back to their EU clients and revisit their orders to see if their clients want to proceed. Full stop.
As far as Q is concerned... they will look at all their market opportunities and asses which ones have the best margins and upside. Now they can "grade" the EU opportunities and decide if they are going to put more sales effort there... or elsewhere. The mmediate EU uncertainty has been removed.
Quite frankly... Q doesn't really need any other market than China to do well and from an investment standpoint that is why we are all here isn't it. The many other opportunities that have presented themselves to Q are gravy. Their unique PV chatacteristics open up new market verticals where they are currently the only player. These will not be impacted by trade tariffs etc... such as the BIPV solutions they have.

LONDON -- The European Commission has now voted on what it called an amicable solution to its solar trade case with China.
On Friday the Commission adopted a decision to accept the two sides' agreement on pricing, as well as a regulation exempting participating Chinese companies from provisional anti-dumping duties. Both decisions will enter into force on 6 August.
Chinese companies participating in the agreement will be exempted from paying any anti-dumping duties as of that date, whereas non-participating companies will pay duties up to 47 percent.
While the Commission declined to provide details of the voting, it said it had received “almost unanimous support” from Member States, and that no state had voted against the measure.
