Quarterly Solar Results Will Be Better than Expected

Fears about slacking European demand for solar panels are overblown, according to a Reuters story that says investors will be pleasantly surprised by the upcoming quarterly reports issued by solar companies.

Despite a cutback in German solar subsidies, Italy and the U.S. are picking up the slack with strong orders, analysts say. 

In addition increased supply in the sector has not driven prices down as much as feared. 

U.S. panel maker SunPower Corp (Nasdaq: SPWRA) will report its 4Q10 results Thursday, followed by China’s Yingli Green Energy Holding Co Ltd (NYSE: YGE) on Friday. U.S. thin film company First Solar Inc (Nasdaq: FSLR), Germany’s Q-Cells SE (QCE.DE) and China’s JA Solar Holdings Co Ltd (NYSE: JASO) are scheduled to report earnings later this month.
