Having a match and linking LDK and Q-Cells continues fulfilling the supply contract of the silicon dice for 10 years
December 6, polycrystal silicon dice manufacturer China of global maximum Have a match and link LDK Solar energy limited company, and battery a manufacturer Germany of global maximum Q-Cells SE jointly announces, the supply contract of the silicon dice of 10 years signed before continuing fulfilling to both sides of reaching an agreement in two companies. It is reported each side refund one, supply at the time table adjusting in price, and expanded the original cooperation range.
This measure means, this dispute which is known as the biggest case of the photovoltaic industry, has not bothed suffer losses because of not yield to each othering after all, each side returns one step, truss up closerly each other instead. Yesterday, both sides claimed to reach an agreement, continued fulfilling the supply contract of silicon dice signed before both sides, stock time limit is from 2009 to 2018. The one that merited attention is, through consulting, the contracts and changing in the price, issuing and content before this of both sides. In addition, either party will no longer adopt the lawsuit behavior, Q-Cells would like not to take measures to recover the prepayment again either, the other joint ventures of two companies have not done any change either at the same time. On November 2 in early time, Q-Cells announced the supply contract stopped and had a match and linked suddenly, both sides thereupon faced a charge in court.
Because of the lateral elastic price and Q-Cells status as first-selected customer of the market, whole ones that will run through in the contract will not have fulfilled the part. It is reported, have a match and link and make a concession at the price, but not revealed the concrete price. Because the contract before this agrees on the annual stock price ratio to drop to some extent in the first one year, so supply the change that the change of the time table means the price.
In supplying the time table, have a match and link the project elasticity machine-processed of reaching increasing to deliver with Q-Cells. The goods that a part was sent in 2009 to 2011 will be postponed by 2012 until 2018 years. Q-Cells will receive about 20% of the goods in the current year, will receive the goods of 1/3 of the total number reached at first at least between 2010 and 2011, if there are needs, the quantity that Q-Cells has the right to demand to increase to deliver to LDK. The total amount of delivering during the ten - year long whole contract has not done any changes, total is about 6GW.
Except making the above-mentioned modification, two companies also reach and expand both sides in the cooperative agreement of solar battery and assembly processing field finally. Q-Cells will supply LDK with the solar battery same LDK and adopt the identical principle to provide the assembly for Q-Cells too according to the principle of processing with supplied materials. Namely of both sides cooperation, have a match, link, supply Q-Cells with polycrystalline silicon from a original one, expand subsequent Q-Cells to, process polycrystalline silicon, become battery after the block, supply and give and comparable to linking, have a match and link continuing processing into the assembly supply of the battery for Q-Cells.
Both sides claim, this disturbance is got " Solve perfectly " ,Not only the original contract can be carried out satisfactorily, but also the cooperation of both sides will supply the all-round cooperation of striding into from the simple silicon dice to silicon dice, battery and battery assembly, offer lasting driving force for industry chain complementation and promotion of competitiveness of two companies.
Have a match and link insiders and introduce, the contract and really changing in price before this after consulting, though contract before this agree on too annual stock price ratio last to drop to some extent year, but both sides have not expected the financial crisis will come, it is so huge and the silicon material price will drop.
In the industry to think the reason why Q-Cells want, terminate supply contract, because market price drop too strong. It is reported 2007, positive value polycrystalline silicon price high and hard-to-get, for guarantee, supply and have a match, link, sign 10 long about year Q-Cells, and link supplying from having a match since 2009. But current prices on market of polycrystalline silicon of 2009 are from price crash of nearly 500 dollars per kilogram to under 90 dollars.
However, the personage in the know shows, during the financial crisis is the most terrible, even if have a match and link and sell Q-Cells according to the current price on market, Q-Cells downstream order is insufficient too. Have match, link insiders, claim, it is not that we would like to see that the customer goes bankrupt because of us, it is each other required to swim from head to foot. This is having a match and linking the basic reason liked to consult. It is reported, because a large number of stock and product cost straight line fall in Q-Cells first half, the amount of loss is up to 700 million euro.
After this negotiation, cooperation ranges of both sides keep extending until and have a match to link and take the place of worker's battery assembly supply from the silicon dice for Q-Cells finally, and it is in Q-Cells Europe master can not very much can solar cell project one of participant, this means, Q-Cells relies on lower cost such as China's manpower, land, competes with the rival on the terminal station directly.
