Total to buy up to 60% of SunPower for $1.38bn
French oil giant Total is buying up to 60% of US solar manufacturer and project developer SunPower for $1.38bn, and will extend the US PV manufacturer a $1bn credit facility.

SunPower delivers huge Q4 growth, raises 2011 outlook
The deal, which the companies position as a “broad strategic relationship”, would represent among the largest plays yet by an oil supermajor in solar and could be a boon to other PV companies. It follows closely on General Electric’s $600m bet on solar, announced earlier this month.
Philippe Boisseau, president of the Total Gas and Power Division, says the world is undergoing a “long-term transition in which renewable energies will take their place alongside conventional resources... Today, Total is executing on its strategy to become a major integrated player in solar energy.”
SunPower chief executive Tom Werner says the deal would help “accelerate our growth and solidify our position in the increasingly competitive solar sector”.
The company makes among the highest-efficiency solar panels, but is not a top-10 player in terms of market share.
SunPower has developed a major project development business and recently reported a near-term utility scale project pipeline of 1.5GW with another 3.5GW of projects for which it has site control.
Under terms of the credit support, Total will guarantee up to $1bn of SunPower’s obligations regarding letters of credit related to its utility power plant and large commercial installation business. Says Werner, “Our relationship with Total will improve our capital structure enabling SunPower to accelerate our power plant and commercial development businesses, and expand our manufacturing capacity with lower cash requirements”.
SunPower reported sales of $937.1m in its fiscal 2010 fourth quarter and net income of $152.3m. In February, the time of its most-recent quarterly report, the California company was expecting 2011 revenue of $2.8bn-2.95bn, up as much as 32% from 2010, on shipments of 825MW-920MW.
Boisseau says Total spent two years evaluating multiple solar investments before going forward with SunPower.
The transaction, described as a friendly tender offer, involves a Total subsidiary purchasing up to 60% of SunPower’s Class A and B stock for $23.25 a share, a premium of more than 46% on the Wednesday closing price of the A shares. It values SunPower at $2.3bn.
The companies plan to collaborate on solar research and development. And SunPower expects to benefit from Total's global footprint and balance sheet.
The boards of both companies have approved the transaction and the tender offer is to begin within 10 business days. A minimum of 50% of the outstanding shares of SunPower must be tendered for the transaction to go ahead. Total may purchase more SunPower shares in the future. The deal must also pass muster with US and European regulators.
SunPower’s existing management team is expected to remain intact after the transition. Total will nominate the majority of SunPower directors.

SunPower and Total Partner to Create a New Global Leader in the Solar Industry
Donnerstag, 28.04.2011 | 22:48 Uhr
Regulatory News:
SunPower (Nasdaq: SPWRA, SPWRB) and Total (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT) (CAC: TOTF.PA) today announced that the two companies have entered into a broad strategic relationship to shape the future of the solar industry. Total Group will launch a friendly tender offer through a wholly owned subsidiary for up to 60 percent of SunPower?s outstanding Class A Common shares and 60 percent of SunPower?s outstanding Class B Common shares at a price of $23.25/share for each class. The offer price represents a 46 percent premium over the April 27th, 2011 closing price of SunPower?s Class A common stock and a 49 percent premium over the April 27th, 2011 closing price of SunPower?s Class B common stock, and values SunPower?s equity at $2.3 billion. In addition, Total will provide SunPower with up to $1 billion of credit support over the next five years. Following closing of the transaction, which has been approved by the boards of both companies, SunPower will continue to operate with its current management team.
?Total?s commitment and global presence will help accelerate our growth and solidify our position in the increasingly competitive solar sector,? said Tom Werner, SunPower?s CEO. ?With Total?s $1 billion credit support agreement, solar research and development investments and the other resources available through its global network, we have taken the next step in positioning our business for continued growth and long-term success. Our relationship with Total will improve our capital structure enabling SunPower to accelerate our power plant and commercial development businesses, and expand our manufacturing capacity with lower cash requirements?.
?The world future energy balance will be the result of a long-term transition in which renewable energies will take their place alongside conventional resources,? said Philippe Boisseau, President, Total Gas and Power Division. ?Over the past years, Total has built up sizeable renewable energy activities. Today, Total is executing on its strategy to become a major integrated player in solar energy. We evaluated multiple solar investments for more than two years and concluded that SunPower is the right partner based on its people, world-leading technology and cost roadmap, vertical integration strategy and downstream footprint.?
?Solar is becoming a material addition to the new generation portfolio around the world, with more than 40,000 MW of solar photovoltaic power installed globally,? continued Werner. ?Total and SunPower will collaborate to ensure that solar becomes a platform for an efficient, competitive and sustainable energy future. Already, SunPower?s high-efficiency, high-reliability solar photovoltaic power plant costs are competitive with other new resources.?
?SunPower is preparing for rapid expansion through the next decade,? added Boisseau. ?We look forward to supporting SunPower as a strategic partner with whom we expect to find many synergies with our solar activities as well as with Total Group overall, while maintaining their entrepreneurial culture of rapid innovation.?
Transaction Details
Under the terms of the tender offer agreement, SunPower shareholders will receive $23.25 per share in cash at closing for each share validly tendered in the tender offer, subject to pro-ration in the event that more than 60 percent of SunPower?s Class A and Class B shares are tendered. Total expects to begin its tender offer within 10 business days. Following the completion of the transaction, SunPower?s shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbols ?SPWRA? and ?SPWRB. The closing of the tender offer is conditioned on a minimum of 50% of the outstanding shares of each of the Class A and Class B common stock being tendered, clearance by U.S. and European Union antitrust authorities, and other customary closing conditions.
Under the credit support agreement, Total will offer to guarantee an amount up to $1 billion of SunPower?s repayment obligations with respect to letters of credit issued over the next five years in connection with SunPower?s global utility power plant and large commercial installation businesses. This credit support should allow SunPower to substantially reduce the total costs of its letters of credit and financing. SunPower?s affilitation with Total is expected to benefit SunPower, lowering its cost of capital and increasing its access to uncollateralized debt financing.
In addition, SunPower and Total have entered into an affiliation agreement under which Total will nominate a majority of directors to SunPower?s board of directors, which will be expanded to 11 members following the closing. This agreement also includes conditions on Total?s ability to purchase additional shares of SunPower. Specified transactions between Total and SunPower shall be approved in advance by SunPower?s independent board members.
SunPower and Total have also entered into a research and collaboration agreement under which the companies will focus on advancing photovoltaic technologies across multiple research and development projects.
SunPower intends to call a meeting of its stockholders within six months following closing to combine its Class A and Class B common stock into a single class of common stock with one vote per share. This plan is subject to the company?s receipt of a tax opinion that such reclassification will be permitted on a tax free basis, and Total has agreed to vote its shares in favor of the reclassification.
SunPower will discuss this release and provide an update on its 2011 first quarter results, which will be released on May 12th, 2011, in a conference call on Thursday, April 28, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time.

Q-Cells is set to become the first German firm to enter into the Japanese solar residential sector and is establishing a sales network of selected local installers, Q-Cells Meister Club (QMC), to help smooth its market entry.
With a forecast volume of 1GW, the residential sector will account for 90% of the entire Japanese PV market in 2011, and QMC will provide its customers with a single supply source for modules, inverters, mounting systems, monitoring systems and other equipment for their rooftop installations.
Since January 2010, Q-Cells has had a presence in Japan through its Tokyo office and last month it installed its first residential system in Osaka. "Our German engineering solar modules match the quality of the components of our selected local partners and meet the high quality requirements of Japanese customers," Q-Cells Japan's managing director Steffen Studeny said.

I dont know how fair it is trading q-cells, insiders information to banks is unknown, but to much shorts outstanding!
They break and play the stock now more than a year, daily and easy, it look like that Q-Cells self doesnt matter about it.
Revesal will come if the manipulators buy the stocks back, they have the time and information to play with the stock, shorts more than 8M, that is to much, but also dangerous for the shorters, but if they have information from the insiders than they have the stock under control.
They still manipulate it down, hopely the support 2,50 doesnt break. Momently the bears are in winning positions.
Or if CEN stop be play a pessimist show, it give the banks a valid confirm to still sell and manipulate the stock.
Shortsellers high activity, it stop when the short sellers are buy the stock back.
When does this ever stop?
Seems as if we made a bad dicision to hold this.

Meyer Burger Technology AG (MBTN), the Swiss maker of industrial cutting equipment and solar power materials, made an agreed offer for Roth & Rau AG (R8R) valuing the Hohenstein, Germany-based manufacturer at 356.6 million euros ($515.8 million).
Meyer Burger has already acquired an 11.3 percent stake in the maker of photovoltaics and plasma-beam technology from previous key shareholders. Roth & Rau “welcomes” the takeover offer at 22 euros a share and has signed a business combination agreement with Meyer Burger, Meyer Burger said today in an e- mailed statement.
The companies aim to consolidate their photovoltaic business units, Meyer Burger Chief Executive Peter Pauli said. “This is just another step to sustainably reduce the costs of solar power,” he said.
Meyer Burger will finance the offer from its existing cash position and through a syndicated bank loan, the company said. Shares in Meyer Burger have risen 44 percent since March 11 and were up 1.7 percent at 41.50 francs at the close of trading on April 8.

Google beteiligt sich an Brandenburger Solarpark
Der US-amerikanische Internetdienstleister Google will nun auch in Europa auf dem Markt für erneuerbare Energieträger aktiv werden. In Brandenburg an der Havel will sich Google zusammen mit dem deutschen Investmentunternehmen Capital Stage an einem bereits existierenden Solarpark beteiligen, heißt es in einer Mitteilung. Google will 3,5 Millionen Euro in die Anlage investieren, vorausgesetzt das Kartellamt hat nichts einzuwenden.
Anzeige
Die Photovoltaikanlage liefert laut Google jährlich 18 Millionen kWh Strom. Die Anlage liegt auf einem 47 Hektar großen Areal in Brandenburg-Briest, das bis Anfang der 90er-Jahre militärisch genutzt wurde. Der dort produzierte Strom soll für rund 5000 Haushalte reichen.
Google hatte im vergangenen Jahr bekannt gegeben, in den USA in Windkraftanlagen investieren zu wollen. Das Brandenburger Photovoltaik-Kraftwerk ist Googles erstes Energieprojekt außerhalb der USA. "Deutschland zählt bei der Entwicklung erneuerbarer Energien seit vielen Jahren zur Weltspitze", erklärt Benjamin Kott, Clean Energy Advocacy Manager bei Google. "Das Land verfügt über gute Rahmenbedingungen, die Bürger stehen sauberer Energie positiv gegenüber, und die deutschen Hersteller liefern hervorragende Technologie." Mehr als 70 Prozent der in Brandenburg installierten Solarmodule stammten aus deutscher Produktion. (anw)

Saudi Arabia looking to invest in solar sector
With its high irradiance levels, Suadi Arabia is investing increasing amounts in the solar sector
Saudi Arabia is planning to embark on a renewable energy spending spree to help meet rising electricity demands and curb its dependence on crude oil. The Saudi government is set to unveil this new renewable-energy strategy at a conference in Riyadh on April 3, reports Bloomberg.
Persian Gulf oil producers need to increase electricity output to sustain the region’s 10% annual economic growth rate. However, countries in the region are also looking for new ways to generate power, thus helping them maximise income from oil exports.
“Fuel supply is one of the major challenges facing the power sector and the nation,” Saleh Al-Awaji, Saudi Arabia’s deputy minister for electricity at the Ministry of Water, said at a conference in Abu Dhabi on March 28. “The policy is to work intensely on saving energy and making sure every barrel of oil that can be saved is, and is made available for export.”
Current electricity generating capacity stands at 45,000MW and this will need to rise to 120,000MW by 2030 if Saudi Arabia is to maintain its position as OPEC’s leading oil supplier. To expand capacity and the electricity grid, the country will need to invest more than US$100 billion over the next 10 years, with a third of that going towards renewable and non-renewable energy power plants.
In February, Saudi Arabia reached an agreement with France to cooperate on developing nuclear energy and also announced that it would be looking to develop its solar, geothermal and wind energy sectors. Officials from the King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy, the agency in charge of promoting alternative energy, are expected to announce guidelines and targets for solar at the Riyadh conference.
“I’m expecting they will announce the target to generate 20% of their electricity from renewables by 2030,” Paddy Padmanathan, CEO of private Saudi electricity provider ACWA Power International, said. “Saudi Arabia can support a huge amount of solar generation, with the country’s combination of sun and the load profile.”
This latest development comes just a few months after Saudi Aramco revealed it was planning to build a 3.5MW solar park on the outskirts of Riyadh.

Siemens denkt an Milliarden-Zukäufe
Mittwoch 30.03.2011, 12:38
ddpSiemens-Chef Peter Löscher
Siemens-Chef Peter Löscher gibt sich mit dem geplanten Konzernumbau nicht zufrieden. Der Elektrokonzern will sich künftig auch durch gewichtige Übernahmen verstärken.
„Wir trauen uns auch größere Akquisitionen im Milliardenbereich zu“, sagte Konzernchef Peter Löscher in einem Gespräch mit dem „Handelsblatt“ vom Mittwoch. Dabei denke er aber nicht an die Größenordnung der ehemaligen Siemens-Tochter VDO. Die Autozulieferersparte hatte der Dax-Konzern 2007 für mehr als elf Milliarden Euro an Continental verkauft.
In der Debatte um Atomstopp und Vormarsch der erneuerbaren Energien forderte der Siemens-Chef „Verlässlichkeit und Investitionssicherheit“. Zum Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien in Deutschland gehöre eine geeignete Netzinfrastruktur. „Es müssen 3400 Kilometer an neuen Stromnetzen gebaut werden – und zwar so, dass die Netze nicht erst in 20 Jahren verfügbar sind.“ Man müsse große Infrastrukturprojekte in der Bevölkerung diskutieren, aber dann seien Entscheidungen und Rechtssicherheit erforderlich – und eine Umsetzung in überschaubarer Zeit. „Es darf nicht sein, dass jeder Mast umkämpft ist“, warnte Löscher.
Noch lange nicht amtsmüde
Der 53-jährige Topmanager ließ in dem Interview durchblicken, dass er sich eine weitere Amtszeit als Siemens-Chef vorstellen könnte. „Das ist eine Entscheidung des Aufsichtsrats. Ich kann nur sagen, mir macht es noch genau so viel Spaß wie am ersten Tag“, sagte Löscher. Der Österreicher wurde 2007 auf den Chefsessel berufen, um nach dem Schmiergeldskandal den Konzern neu aufzustellen.

Siemens gehe es jetzt verstärkt um Zukunftstechnologie, Kunden und Märkte, sagte Löscher zum angekündigten Konzernumbau, bei dem in einem neuen vierten Sektor die Gebäude- und Infrastrukturtechnik gebündelt wird. Gleichzeitig wurde entschieden, die Lichtsparte Osram mehrheitlich an die Börse zu bringen. Der Börsengang dürfte mehrere Milliarden Euro in die Siemens-Kasse spülen. Wachstumschancen sieht Löscher bei den erneuerbaren Energien und Umwelttechnologien für die wachsenden Ballungszentren. Der Konzernumsatz soll in den kommenden Jahren von 76 Milliarden auf 100 Milliarden Euro steigen.

Goldman Sachs, CitiGroup, UBS. If there are no potention why do this 3 hedgefunds banks trade Q-Cells and add positions but UBS downgrade Q-Cells 4 times in one month. ???
I knew that the banks will defend the upside so they can still shortsell and bashing, but hopely now come some big company to buy Q-Cells for some coins.
I think also it is possible, hopely a surprise 10 Euro.
There has been a lot of accumulation since okt 2010.
I really believe this could reach 7,25 end 2011.
Scary times for the Shortsellers, if there come some acquisition the banks and hedgefunds will lose a lot of money. because the Fair Price is a lot higher than the current prices in the solar sector.
Now PPS will definately finf it's way UUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPP.
Q-Cells will double this year.
They cant still manipulate it down. Shortsellers will burned out shortsqueez is coming.

SolarWorld sees Japan crisis boosting sales
(Reuters) - SolarWorld, Germany's No.2 solar company by market value, sees higher sales this year and next, taking heart from a strong U.S. market and a boost to the renewable industry following Japan's nuclear crisis.
The renewable sector has seen a massive surge since a 9.0-magnitude earthquake caused a nuclear crisis in Japan and governments around the world pledged to speed up switching to renewable sources of energy.
Since March 10, SolarWorld shares are up by more than 30 percent, outperforming gains of other sector bellwethers such as Suntech, First Solar, Renewable Energy Corp (REC) and SMA Solar.
"The crisis in Japan hits the world. It shows in a very disturbing way that cheap, safe and clean nuclear power is an illusion," Chief Executive Frank Asbeck said in the company's annual report, adding the crisis would boost the green sector.
SolarWorld said on Thursday that it expected 2011 sales to exceed the level of 2010, when the company generated 1.305 billion euros ($1.84 billion), and added it also expected sales to rise further in 2012. It gave no profit outlook for 2011.
Asbeck, nicknamed the "sun king" for his outgoing nature, had told Reuters already last month that sales would rise this year, but refrained from giving further details at the time.
Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S estimates show that SolarWorld's revenues are expected to grow by more than 13 percent to 1.477 billion in 2011, while 2012 sales are seen at 1.62 billion.
The solar industry -- which still depends on government subsidies -- had been battered by changes in subsidy legislation in Germany and Italy, the world's No.1 and No.2 markets.
SolarWorld, however, benefits from strong growth in the United States, particularly in California, and the company is aiming to raise its share of revenues outside of Germany to 75 percent in the next two years, with the United States as the biggest market.

Italian government leaves solar subsidies unchanged
Italy’s Industry Minister, Paolo Romani
The Italian solar industry has received a major boost after the government announced it would not be altering subsidies for any pre-existing projects. The decision was made during a policy meeting between government officials and four Italian solar associations in Rome on Friday and relates to any systems connected to the grid before the end of 2011.
Two other major talking points emerged from the meetings to finalise Italy’s solar policy for the next five years: firstly, the introduction of incentives in line with the German model – around €0.25/kWh and a 30% cut from current levels; and secondly, limiting the potential annual subsidy burden to €6 billion by 2017.
“In order to ensure that PV can make a significant medium- and long-term contribution to the country’s energy portfolio, a greater sensitivity is being shown towards protecting the investments that have been made in photovoltaics,” said a spokesperson for Assolare, one of the four Italian solar associations present at the meeting. “We are looking towards the German model to help prevent market crashes and to protect the balance between small, medium and large plants, thus encouraging the whole chain.
''We are pleased to have reached a joint solution that will help install confidence in investors and the industry. The incentive system will link the value of rates to the volume of installations, while ensuring cost containment and sector development,” added Italy’s Industry Minister, Paolo Romani.
The policy review comes less than a month after the government dismissed plans to introduce an

Frankfurt/Main (dapd).
Besonders nach der Atomkatastrophe in Japan seien die erneuerbaren Energien im Aufwind. Das TecDAX-Schwergewicht will die Chancen nutzen. 'Ich glaube, die gesamte Welt ist für uns inzwischen attraktiv', sagte Koecke. Entsprechend wollen die Bonner ihre Auslandserlöse auf 75 Prozent des Konzernumsatzes ausweiten.
