Chinese PV companies fast development in recent years, due to the main market of the Chinese PV companies in developed countries in Europe and the United States, in the process of the financial crisis, Western countries generally held up the banner of the "dual" of the Chinese PV companies set a lot of foreign trade barriers, leading Chinese enterprises operating difficulties.

At this time Western monopoly capital to kill a Parthian shot from chestnuts, cheap form of control over Chinese enterprises, finally worked so hard to establish the photovoltaic business so Western monopoly capital control. When foreign giants full control of the painful experience of China's soybean industry is the Chinese people should earnestly learn the best lessons.

Negotiate the acquisition of the cable with megavoltage love "and" SMA is also widely negotiations with the largest of several inverter enterprise cooperation, Chinese enterprises in order to reflect the sincerity of the prototype, technical information, business contracts, financial data without fortification be provided to the other party.
