Excessive debts<\/b><\/p>\n
This particular industry has been struggling to keep afloat and a slowdown in demand bunched with excessive production capacity has led to net loses for the four major Chinese solar producers in the country. Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd. (NYSE:STP) had been unable to repay its debt of over $2.2 billion debt and eight of its Chinese lenders subjected it to a bankruptcy petition. On the other hand, Suntech is continuing with its production and in most probability reduce the market price of its products; this will pressurize the reeling industry even further. In March, the Wuxi, China-based Suntech said that it had put forth a petition for insolvency of its main operating subsidiary, Wuxi Suntech Power Company and that the local court had approved it.<\/p>\n
