Suntech is likely going to stay in business under the control of its local govt. IN any case, some manufacturers will certainly fold (there are far too many right now: http://cleantechnica.com/2013/03/27/maturing-industries-short-infographic/ ). However, the solar market is still growing in leaps and bounds, so some will clearly survive and prosper, and some of these top companies are more likely than most to be the lucky ones. Btw, this whole industry shakeout process is a natural part of industry maturation. Happens in basically every tech industry, and many others. http://cleantechnica.com/2013/01/27/solar-industry-shakeout-what-it-means/

Bosch said it will sell or shut down solar energy operations after heavily loss-making, the latest blow to Germany green energy.

Carl, read up on command capitalism. China is thinking about a carbon tax and has an insane goal for 2015 with solar installations. These companies will go into bankruptcy, but the government will carry them.

You listed Suntech as a top-10 performance, Suntech gone broke? This is the last place we would buy solar panels without warranty. Don’t be surprised if all these companies will go broke in the next few months. You can rate Suntech in the top-10 worst of performer now.
