Shungfeng CEO applauds EPIA minimum price stance
Apr 27, 2015 | PV Magazine
By Jonathan Gifford
Eric Luo has applauded EPIA's position on the EU minimum price, saying that renewable energy rollout should not be blocked anywhere in the world by protectionism. The Shungfeng CEO told pv magazine that the company is seeking to position itself as an integrated energy service provider as the solar market transitions from component sales to a service-based industry. Shunfeng is focusing on the total performance of solar farms and the integration of services, including O&M.Ian Clover/Solarpraxis AG
China's Shungfeng International Clean Energy Limited is nothing if not short of ambition. Having acquired a fleet of clean technology companies with module manufacturer Suntech at the helm, it is now positioning itself as a "one-stop solution" provider for prospective solar investors and EPCs.
Shungfeng CEO Eric Luo set out the plan, along with the company's goal to provide a fleet of clean technologies at the first day of the SNEC trade show currently underway in China. The company will host a seminar on Tuesday at SNEC to elaborate on its integrated solution offering.
"Over the last two years, Shungfeng has changed a lot," said Luo. “There is a clear trend in this industry, moving from the manufacturing industry to the service orientated industry." While this indicates that Shungfeng will move away from pure module sales, Luo said that the integrated PV manufacturing at Suntech remains a key pillar of the company’s cleantech push.
Shungfeng is partnering with Huawei on the inverter front, with its provision of integrated solar solutions, but it also has its own inverter subsidiary in Sunways. Luo said that by controlling every aspect of the supply chain, Shungfeng can deliver PV power plant projects for which the power output is fully insured.
“We think the system improvement of the efficiency and power generation is the key for the next five to 10 years,” said Luo. “Previously people focused on cost, which is right, but now is the time to focus on the total performance of the solar farm and integration of services, including O&M.”
In pursuit of this goal, Shungfeng acquired Meteocontrol when it purchased parent group SAG Solarstrom in 2014. Luo told pv magazine that the wealth of data it has acquired across the 10 GW of installations for which it has provided monitoring is invaluable. Shungfeng hopes to increase that total to between 14 GW and 15 GW by the end of this year. A large team of Meteocontrol management and sales representatives are attending this year’s SNEC.
EU minimum price
While direct module sales will diminish in importance under Luo’s strategic vision for the company, the CEO welcomed EPIA’s move to speak out against the EU minimum price regime.
“I think from day one our position regarding the U.S. antidumping and counterveiling duties and the EU minimum price has been consistent. We are standing against trade protection. We are an anchor for free trade.” Luo said that he expected the trade disputes that have been a feature of the industry in recent years to subside this year and next.
“I think any country trying to protect its own photovoltaic industry is not going to deliver a win-win for either side,” said Luo. “That applies to the U.S. and it is why eventually Australia and India have dropped their trade cases. I hope Canada will also drop its case soon.”
Luo said that Shungfeng is continuing to invest in updating Suntech’s production lines by increasing automation and taking steps such as the recently announced move to four-busbar modules across its entire panel output. He said $50 million has already been invested in Suntech lines and more technology enhancements such as PERC and even HJT are in development.

The promoters of the photovoltaic plant provide complete the process in eight months
Apr 26, 2015 | El Periodico
By Antonio Galván González
8 months. That is the period of time that the directors of the companies promoting photovoltaic plant Calzadilla estimate for completion of administrative formalities necessary for the commencement of installation works which will be, in the words of Juan Luis Canton, commercial director SAG Solar-Shunfeng in Spain, "the largest photovoltaic plant in the world".
Canton, who reported that there has been a change in the shareholding of the German company SAG Solar, with the entry of Chinese financial muscle group Shunfeng Clear Energy International, said in a briefing with neighbors Calzadilla de los Barros and other locations in the region Zafra-Rio Bodión, that in the business purchase agreement by SAG Solar Shunfeng "was decisive for the presence of a project such as the photovoltaic plant Calzadilla 400 megawatts (MW), unique in the world its dimension "and for which inaugurated a new way of implementing large renewable projects in the field of photovoltaics in Spain," no premiums or state aid, funded entirely by private capital, and cost effectively. "
In the same vein, intervened in the same briefing, José Gañán, CEO of Valsolar Extremadura, which stressed the importance of the commitment of the two groups for this photovoltaic project, for which they have had to provide "an endorsement of more 7 million euros in the Ministry of Industry ". The management of Valsolar Extremadura explained that such projects require prolonged administrative processing time, and fortunately, that of "Calzadilla photovoltaic plant is nearing its final phase", having achieved so far all permits and clearances from government and private entities and individuals.
The engineer who was responsible for project management in technical and legal terms, Jorge del Rosal, confirmed that "the most difficult stages of the administrative process have already been exceeded" and that "the public information phase ended with great success ". Likewise, explained that they have already achieved both the pro-environmental impact statement report by the Directorate General Environment of the Board, as the positive report connection conditions, and confirmation that the draft planning the transport network includes the necessary provisions for plant Calzadilla can get going.
The objective importance of this project to Calzadilla de los Barros, and the entire region Zafra-Rio Bodión, lies mainly in employment generated during construction, commissioning and thereafter during the lifetime of the photovoltaic plant . All forecasts indicate that, during the construction of this immense solar park, more than 1,600 direct jobs will be created. To this figure must be added the indirect jobs that will be created in sectors such as transport and trade and catering, both Calzadilla as the surrounding villages. At the briefing, which kept the directors of the companies promoting the photovoltaic plant with neighbors Calzadilla and towns of the region, they disaggregate the categories for which will require workers and pointed out that require mainly laborers and master masons, electricians , administrators, engineers, fitters and machinists.The original article is in Spanish.
