由于市场的不稳定，中国的英利绿色能源控股有限公司（YGE.N）已经推迟了开放其第一家美国工厂的决定，公司雄心勃勃的发展计划受阻。
英利此前曾表示，到2010年底将在全国建立100兆瓦的模块生产厂，并投入生产。当市场的不稳定不得不让他们推迟计划。
德国，世界第一大太阳能市场，正准备7月削减太阳能设备的关税或补贴金——这是整个行业的发展蒙上了阴影。 今年欧元疲软也拖累了太阳能类股票，许多公司在传统的欧洲市场上销售了他们大部分太阳能发电站产品。 由于补贴的削减，美国被看作是一种可再生能源市场的领导者，因此英利太阳能和其他一些公司已经宣布，计划兴建美国工厂。日本京瓷（6971.T）已表示今年在美国将向尚德电力控股有限公司（STP.N）那样开始生产。
英利也表示预计在4月份增加一倍以上的美国市场份额。 英利在美国的工厂生产曾预计于今年开始到2012年总共可达100兆瓦。金博尔说”我们期待着这样做时，市场动态有利于我们，我们有信心有能力正在作出负责任的长期承诺，指出所有利益相关者。”
China's Yingli Green Energy Holding Co Ltd (YGE.N) has delayed a decision to open its first U.S. plant
because of market uncertainty, a potential snag in the company's aggressive growth plans.
Yingli had previously said it would build a 100 megawatt module manufacturing facility in the country, and
that production would start by the end of 2010.
"We are delaying the decision to open a U.S. factory," Helena Kimball, head of marketing communications at
Yingli, told Reuters.
"The multiple headwinds in some of the key solar markets such as the drastic feed-in tariff reduction in Germany, the feed-in tariff cuts in Spain, as well as the recent volatility in the currency exchange have all impacted our decision."
Germany, the world's No. 1 solar market, is set to cut its feed-in tariff, or a premium price utilities pay for solar, in July -- a move that has cast a shadow over the entire sector.
Weakness in the euro has also dragged on solar stocks this year, as many companies sell the bulk of their
product in the traditional solar powerhouse market of Europe.
As subsidies there are cut, the United States is seen emerging as a market leader for the renewable power
source, which is why Yingli and several other solar companies have announced plans to construct U.S. plants.
Japan's Kyocera (6971.T) has said it would begin U.S. production this year, as has Suntech Power Holdings
Co Ltd (STP.N).
Yingli said in April it expects to more than double its share of the U.S. market this year.
Production at Yingli's U.S. plant was previously expected to have started this year and ramp up to 100 MW
by 2012.
"We've invested a lot in this process and are determined to make the factory work," said Kimball. "We look
forward to doing so when the market dynamics are favorable and we are confident we're in a position to make
a responsible long-term commitment to all of out stakeholders."
