Some Suntech Power Holdings (STP) News:
Suntech's solar products in short supply
Suntech Power Holdings' (STP.NYSE) solar products are in short supply due to their premium quality, said Shi Zhengrong, company chairman and CEO.
Shi Zhengrong said that the company had about a 30 percent photovoltaic (PV) module overcapacity in the first half of this year, but that the situation has been changed since July, and production capacity cannot meet the market's demand.
According to Shi, there is no overcapacity in China's solar energy industry, but the market requires high-end and high quality products, and that Suntech has already sold all of this year's products.
Suntech had produced solar PV cells with conversion efficiencies of approximately 19 percent on mono-crystalline PV cells and 17 percent on multi-crystalline PV cells, which set the new benchmark for the highest performance multi-crystalline module, said Shi.
He also stated that solar energy will account for about 30 percent of the world's energy by 2050, and by the end of the century, the figure have risen to 70 percent. Therefore, the company remains committed to developing solar energy.

Solar Stocks Fall on Barron's Interview
Some Yesterday's news:
September 28, 2009 4:04 PM EDT
Most solar stocks are moving lower today even in light of crude oil which finished slightly higher this afternoon. Traders are attributing the weakness to a bearish article in Barron's over the weekend. The Claymore/MAC Global Solar Index ETF (NYSE: TAN), or the TAN, is down more than 1.2% today.
The publication did an interview with Hapoalim Securities Gordon Johnson, a noted-solar bear for quite some time now (October 2008). The analyst is currently expecting supply within the PV sector of 7.1GW for 2009 and 10.8GW for 2010. Looking at demand, Johnson is modeling for 4.3-4.5GW this year and about 6GW next year. Bottom line, "things will remain challenging for the solar companies."
Johnson believes solar stocks have recently run due to unwarranted excitement related to a recent announcement out of China that it will consider a local feed-in tariff. The analyst believes that this recent rally allows bearish investors a great entry point to short.

State of the TAN (Solar Stock ETF)
After the recent rally, Solar Stocks now seem to be slowing down, and we could be close to the start of a Down-Swing.

Claymore/MAC Global Solar Index (ETF) is a good Benchmark for the whole Solar Stock Sector. This ETF should find a resistance near the $10 mark, with the mid-term trend still down since the last top in June.
Many of the Solar Stocks are still positive for today and I will remain Bullish until we see a reversal flag on the daily chart.
