If the net cash generated from operating activities is too low, you will not have enough cash to increase capacity.
  Plant utilization hour: some areas in mainland, especially in the western region, they will be implemented power rationing, leading to a plenty of power plants and power generation but cannot profitable, the investors should be aware that if the power plant utilization rate are less than 1000 hours, that’s too low.
   Price subsidies receivable: for the PV company, in addition to get access electricity, it will also get the subsidies from the nation, but the electric subsidies we get is too long, investors should pay attention to it whether the company's accounts and the number of days too long, and the impact of the current scale of operations and plans.
  Financing costs: Due to there are a large demand for financing in the construction of off grid solar system, so investors should pay special attention to the lending rate in the company, especially the interest rate bridge loans.
  Debt ratio: as usual, the construction loans for PV station would be eight percent of the all construction cost. The let two percent came from it’s own funds, if investors notice that the debt ratio significantly higher than 80%, we should pay attention to the company's use of the loans.
