Temporary Market Bottom? 3 Solar Stocks That Look Like Bargains [View article]
Note that I calculate the P/E without using the estimated 30-40mw UMG product ship this year which was sold out very early in the last couple of months. CSIQ can compete with thin film with its UMG modules, due to the material cost is A LOT less than using the regular silicon(like 1/10 of the cost).

How do you guys calculate the P/E for CSIQ? I got a P/E of 9 for this year. First quarter they shipped about 41.8mw module has earning per share of $0.61. Now they raised the guldens to 230mw to 260mw, plus the newly announced 14.9mw, with total of 244.9mw to 274.9mw for this year 2008.
Simple math tells me that their P/E is with about 9 this year or even 8.

"2. The reason these companies don’t make any money has nothing to do with their growth profile or cap-ex needs. They can’t make money simply because the competitive nature of the polysilicon-based PV industry (every Joe Schmo can manufacture the same type of panels and cells) and tight supply of polysilicon, has created a unique working capital situation where companies are forced to offer ever longer credit sales, while at the same time are forced to pay huge amounts of money upfront for raw materials. This lower level of actual cash receipts from customers, combined with an ever increasing amount of cash payable to suppliers (known as purchase obligations and also available in every 20-F) makes the business unprofitable. I see no reason why this working capital situation will change any time soon. Nor do any of the companies, as they all openly warn in their 20-F's."
So you are saying Q-Cell don't make money too as a silcon base company?

"Once again, you are mistaking my critique of several specific solar companies as an argument against the entire solar industry. I've never once mentioned anything negative about the entire solar industry. In fact I am very bullish on solar and I 100% agree that the solar industry presents some great investment opportunities, but I don't think the companies mentioned here are one of those opportunities."
Come on, CSIQ already pre-sold their Emodule into 2009, on the Q1 stating about 130mw, the E-module can compete with price and efficiency. ALSO CSIQ is seeing a very strong demand in 2009, and expecting 500-550wm in 2009 in conservative view.
