SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
	2	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Basis of Presentation
	The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”).
	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.
	Foreign Currency
	The functional currency of the Company and each of its subsidiaries is Renminbi as determined based on the criteria of ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation except SolarOne USA, Solar Australia, Solar Canada and SolarOne Gmbh which have determined their functional currency to be their respective local currency. The reporting currency of the Company is also Renminbi. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities are remeasured at the balance sheet date exchange rate. Exchange gains and losses are separately reported in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company uses the average exchange rate prevailing during the year and the exchange rate at the balance sheet date to translate its operating results and financial position, respectively. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive loss.
	Convenience Translation
	Amounts in United States dollars are presented for the convenience of the reader and are translated at the noon buying rate of US$1.00 to RMB6.0537 on December 31, 2013, the last business day in fiscal year 2013, in the City of New York for cable transfers of Renminbi as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. No representation is made that the Renminbi amounts could have been, or could be, converted into United States dollars at such rate.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods. Area where management uses subjective judgment include, provision for doubtful debts, provision for advance to suppliers, provision for warranty, inventory write-down, useful lives of fixed assets and land use rights, impairment of fixed assets, land use rights and goodwill, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation expenses, fair values of derivative contracts and fair value of conversion feature of convertible bonds. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the financial statements.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, and consist of cash on hand and bank deposits, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use and have original maturities less than 90 days.
	Restricted Cash
	Restricted cash represents amounts held by a bank as security for letters of credit facilities, notes payable and bank borrowings and, therefore, are not available for the Group’s use. Changes in restricted cash that relate to the purchase of raw materials or sale of goods are classified within cash flows from operating activities, changes in restricted cash that relate to the purchase of fixed assets are classified within cash flows from investing activities and changes in restricted cash that relate to bank borrowings are classified within cash flows from financing activities. The restriction on cash is expected to be released within the next twelve months.
	Accounts and Notes Receivable
	Accounts and notes receivable are recognized and carried at original invoiced amounts less an allowance for potential uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period in which collection is determined to be not probable based on historical experience, account balance aging, prevailing economic conditions and an assessment of specific evidence indicating troubled collection. A receivable is written off after all collection efforts have ceased.
	Debt Issuance Costs
	Debt issuance costs represent the incurred costs directly attributable to the issuance of the convertible bonds. These costs are deferred and amortized ratably using the effective interest method from the debt issuance date over the life of the convertible bonds. Upon the conversion of the bonds, the related debt issuance costs will be debited to shareholders’ equity.
	Arrangement Fees
	Arrangement fees represent the incurred costs directly attributable to the bank borrowings. These costs are deferred and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the bank borrowings.
	Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by the weighted-average method. Raw material cost is based on purchase costs while work-in-progress and finished goods comprise direct materials, direct labor and an allocation of manufacturing overhead costs.
	Fixed Assets
	Fixed assets are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
	Buildings		20 years
	Plant and machinery		10 years
	Furniture, fixtures and office equipment		5 years
	Computer software		5 years
	Motor vehicles		5 years
	Leasehold improvements		Over the shorter of the lease term or their estimated useful lives
	Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense when incurred, whereas the cost of renewals and betterments that extend the useful life of fixed assets are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Retirement, sale and disposal of assets are recorded by removing the cost and accumulated depreciation with any resulting gain or loss reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
	Cost incurred in constructing new facilities, including progress payments, interest and other costs relating to the construction are capitalized and transferred to fixed assets upon completion and depreciation commences when the asset is available for its intended use.
	Interest costs are capitalized if they are incurred during the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset and such costs could have been avoided if expenditures for the assets have not been made. Capitalization of interest costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Interest costs are capitalized until the assets are ready for their intended use. Total interest costs incurred during 2011, 2012 and 2013 were RMB 230,093,000, RMB340,583,000 and RMB328,962,000 (US$54,340,651) and interest capitalized during 2011, 2012 and 2013 amounted to RMB59,034,000, RMB41,068,000 and RMB5,142,000 (US$849,398), respectively.
	Land use rights
	Land use rights represent amounts paid for the right to use land in the PRC and are recorded at purchase cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the lives of the land use rights agreements, which have terms of tenure and weighted-average amortization period of 50 years.
	Goodwill
	Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed of the acquired business.
	Goodwill is reviewed at least annually at December 31 for impairment, or earlier if there is an indication of impairment, in accordance with ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Group assigns and assesses goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level.
	The performance of the impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. Fair value is primarily determined by computing the future discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the reporting unit. If the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, goodwill may be impaired. If this occurs, the Group performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss.
	The fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to its assets and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the implied goodwill fair value is less than its carrying value, the difference is recognized an impairment loss.
	In accordance with ASC 350, the Group assigned and assessed goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below the operating segment. The Group has determined that goodwill is only allocable to one of our reporting units, SolarOne Technology. As of December 31, 2011, the Group performed impairment tests on goodwill in a two-step process. The Group determined the fair value of the reporting unit using the income approach based on the discounted expected future cash flows associated with the reporting unit. The discounted cash flows for the reporting unit were based on five-year projections. Cash flow projections were based on past experience, actual operating results and management’s best estimates about future developments, as well as certain market assumptions. Cash flow after the fifth year were estimated using a terminal value calculation, which considered terminal value growth rate at 3%, considering long-term revenue growth rates for entities in the relevant industries in the PRC. The discount rate of approximately 16% was used in the valuations which reflect the market assessment of the risks specific to the Group’s industry and is based on the weighted-average cost of capital for that particular reporting unit.
	The Group recognized an impairment loss of RMB134,735,000 for the entire goodwill as of December 31, 2011.
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	The Group evaluates its long-lived assets or asset groups, including land use rights with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying amount of a group of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When these events occur, the Group evaluates for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Group would recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its fair value.
	During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the significant decline in the market price of its PV products provided indication that the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including fixed assets and land use rights, may not be recoverable. As of December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, based on the impairment assessment performed, the Company concluded the carrying amount of the long-lived assets is recoverable, and no impairment loss is recognized.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and notes receivable, other receivables, accounts and notes payable, short-term bank borrowings, amounts due to/from related parties, long-term bank borrowings, long-term notes, convertible bonds and derivative contracts. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments other than long-term bank borrowings, long term notes and convertible bonds approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the long-term bank borrowings and long-term notes also approximate their fair value since they bear floating interest rates which approximate market interest rates.
	The conversion option was bifurcated from the convertible bonds at its fair value and the residual value allocated to the convertible bonds was accreted to the redemption amount using the effective interest method. The Group determined the fair value of the conversion option using binomial model with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm.
	As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the fair value and carrying value of the convertible bonds is as follows:
					As of December 31,
			Note		2012		2013		2013
					(RMB’000)		(RMB’000)		(US$’000)
	Fair value *					486,767		565,673		93,443
	Carrying value			31		368,590		470,357		77,697
	*	The fair value of the convertible bonds is determined using binomial model with reference to market quote on the trade price of the convertible bonds as of December 31, 2012 and 2013.
	Financial Instruments – Foreign Currency Derivative Contracts, Commodity Contracts and Interest Rate Swap Contract
	The Group’s primary objective for holding foreign currency derivative contracts, commodity derivative contracts and interest rate swap contract is to manage its foreign currency risks principally arising from sales contracts denominated in Euros and Japanese Yen, the stability of the purchase price for silver and aluminum (which are two kinds of raw materials required in the production of PV products), and the interest rate risk for the long-term bank borrowings. The Group records these derivative instruments as current assets or current liabilities, measured at fair value.
	During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Group entered into cross-currency exchange rate agreements to receive RMB and sell other currencies, commodity agreements to purchase silver and aluminum, and an interest rate swap agreement to pay fixed interest rate rather than floating rate. Changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. These derivative instruments are not designated and do not qualify as hedges and are adjusted to fair value through current earnings. As of December 31, 2013, the Group had outstanding cross-currency exchange rate contracts with notional amounts of Euro15,000,000 (2012: Euro44,000,000), US$120,415,000 (2012: US$46,250,000) and JPY4,277,500,000 (2012: Nil), and an interest rate swap contract with notional amount of US$50,000,000 (2012: US$50,000,000). In addition, the Group had outstanding commodity contracts with a quantity of 140,000 ounces of silver as of December 31, 2012. The Group estimates the fair value of its foreign currency, commodity and interest rate swap derivatives using a pricing model based on market observable inputs.
	Revenue Recognition
	The Group’s primary business activity is to produce and sell PV modules. The Group periodically, upon special request from customers, sells PV cells and silicon ingots. The Group records revenue related to the sale of PV modules, PV cells and silicon ingots when the criteria of ASC 605-10, Revenue Recognition: Overall, are met. These criteria include all of the following: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred; the sales price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured.
	More specifically, the Group’s sales arrangements are evidenced by framework sales agreements and/or by individual sales agreements for each transaction. The shipping terms of the Group’s sales arrangements are generally “Cost, Insurance and Freight” (“CIF”) and “Free on Board” (“FOB”) shipping point whereby the customer takes title and assumes the risks and rewards of ownership of the products upon delivery to the shipper. The customer bears all costs and risks of loss or damage to the goods from that point. Under some sales arrangements, the Group requires its customers to prepay prior to shipment. The Company performs ongoing credit assessment of each customer, including reviewing the customer’s latest financial information and historical payment record and performing necessary due diligence to determine acceptable credit terms. In instances where longer credit terms are granted to certain customers, the timing of revenue recognition was not impacted as the Company has historically been able to collect under the original payment terms without making concessions. Other than warranty obligations, the Group does not have any commitments or obligations to deliver additional products or services to the customers. Based on the above, the Group records revenue related to product sales upon delivery of the product to the shipper, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met.
	Payments received from customers for shipping and handling costs are included in net revenues. Shipping and handling costs relating to sales and purchases are included in selling expenses and cost of revenue, respectively.
The Group entered into a processing service arrangement to process PV cells into PV modules. For this service arrangement, the Group “purchases” PV cells from the customer and contemporaneously agrees to “sell” a specified quantity of PV modules back to the same customer. The quantity of PV modules sold back to the customers under these processing arrangements is consistent with the amount of PV cells purchased from the customer based on current production conversion rates. In accordance with ASC 845-10, Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty, the Group records the amount of revenue on these processing transactions based on the amount received for PV modules sold less the amount paid for the PV cells purchased from the customer. These sales are subject to all of the above-noted criteria relating to revenue recognition.
The Company recognizes revenue related to long-term solar systems integration services on the percentage-of-completion method. The Company estimates its revenues by using the cost-to-cost method, whereby it derives a ratio by comparing the costs incurred to date to the total costs expected to be incurred on the project. The Company applies the ratio computed in the cost-to-cost analysis to the contract price to determine the estimated revenues earned in each period. A contract may be regarded as substantially completed if remaining costs are not significant in amount. When the Company determines that total estimated costs will exceed total revenues under a contract, it records a loss accordingly. Unbilled amounts are included in the consolidated balance sheets as “unbilled solar systems integration revenue”.
Revenue is recognized net of all value-added taxes imposed by governmental authorities and collected from customers concurrent with revenue-producing transactions. The Group does not offer implicit or explicit rights of return, regardless of whether goods were shipped to the distributors or shipped directly to the end user, other than due to product defect.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes direct and indirect production costs.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Advertising Expenditures
Advertising costs are expensed when incurred and are included in “selling expenses.” Advertising expenses were RMB13,087,000, RMB29,255,000 and RMB7,902,000 (US$1,305,317) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
Warranty Cost
The Group primarily provides standard warranty coverage on PV modules sold to customers. Before 2012, the standard warranty provides for a 2 to 5-year warranty against technical defects, a 10-year warranty against a decline from initial power generation capacity of more than 10% and a 20 to 25-year warranty against a decline from initial power generation capacity of more than 20%. From January 1, 2012, the standard warranty provides a 12-year warranty against technical defects, and a 25-year linear warranty, which guarantees: 1) no less than 97% of the nominal power generation capacity for multicrystalline PV modules and 96% of the nominal power generation capacity for monocrystalline PV modules in the first year, 2) an annual output degradation of no more than 0.7% thereafter, and 3) by the end of the 25th year, the actual power output shall be no less than 82% of initial power generation capacity.
The estimate of the amount of warranty obligation is primarily based on the following considerations: 1) the results of technical analyses, including simulation tests performed on the products by an industry-recognized external certification body as well as internally developed testing procedures conducted by the Company’s engineering team, 2) the Company’s historical warranty claims experience, 3) the warranty accrual practices of other companies in the industry that produce PV products that are comparable in engineering design, raw material input and functionality to the products, and which sell products to a similar class of customers, and 4) the expected failure rate and future costs to service failed products. The results of the technical analyses support the future operational efficiency of the PV modules at levels significantly above the minimum guaranteed levels over the respective warranty periods. The estimate of warranty costs are affected by the estimated and actual product failure rates, the costs to repair or replace failed products and potential service and delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Based on the above considerations and management’s ability and intention to provide repairs, replacements or refunds for defective products, the Group accrues for warranty costs for the 2 to 12-year warranty against technical defects based on 1% of revenue for PV modules. No warranty cost accrual has been recorded for the 10-year or 20 to 25-year warranties for decline from initial power generation capacity because the Group determined the likelihood of claims arising from these warranties to be remote based on internal and external testing of the PV modules and strong quality control procedures in the production process. The basis for the warranty accrual will be reviewed periodically based on actual experience. The Group does not sell extended warranty coverage that is separately priced or optional.
Government Grants
Government grants received by the Company consist of unrestricted grants and subsidies. The amount of such government grants are determined solely at the discretion of the relevant government authorities and there is no assurance that the Group will continue to receive these government grants in the future. Government grants are recognized when all the conditions attached to the grants have been met and the grants are received. For the government grants that is of a non-operating nature and with no further conditions to be met, the amounts are recorded as a non-operating income by offsetting to its operating expenses when received; whereas for the government grants with certain operating conditions, the amounts are recorded as liabilities when received and will be recorded as an operating income when the conditions are met.
During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Group recorded RMB14,437,000, RMB25,911,000 and RMB3,870,000 (US$639,278), respectively, of government subsidies as an offset to its operating expenses, because these government grants were received due to the reason that the Group qualifies as a “high and new technology enterprise” in Jiangsu Province in the PRC. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Group received nil, nil and RMB5,000,000 (US$825,941), respectively, as reimbursement for interest expense incurred for imported equipment, which are recorded as other income. The government grants recorded in operating expense or other income are not subject to adjustment and do not have any restrictions as to the use of funds.
As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the Group recorded RMB50,000,000 and RMB50,000,000 (US$8,259,412), respectively, of government grants received as long-term payable because the Group has not fulfilled the conditions required by the government.
Accounting for Income Taxes and Uncertain Tax Positions
The Group accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Group records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Group applies ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The Group has elected to classify interest and/or penalties related to an uncertain position, if and when required, as part of “other operating expenses” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Value-Added Tax (“VAT”)
In accordance with the relevant tax laws in the PRC, VAT is levied on the invoiced value of sales and is payable by the purchaser. The Group is required to remit the VAT it collects to the tax authority, but may deduct the VAT it has paid on eligible purchases. To the extent the Group paid more than collected, the difference represents a net VAT recoverable balance at the balance sheet date.
Leases
Leases are classified at the inception date as either a capital lease or an operating lease. For the lessee, a lease is a capital lease if any of the following conditions exist: a) ownership is transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term; b) there is a bargain purchase option; c) the lease term is at least 75% of the property’s estimated remaining economic life; or d) the present value of the minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term is 90% or more of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at the inception date. A capital lease is accounted for as if there was an acquisition of an asset and an incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases wherein rental payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the periods of their respective leases. Rental expenses were RMB10,270,000, RMB12,787,000 and RMB10,042,000 (US$1,658,820) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The Group had no capital leases during any of the periods stated herein.
Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing loss attributable to holders of ordinary shares by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per ordinary share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue ordinary shares were exercised or converted into ordinary shares. Ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible bonds are included in the computation of diluted loss per ordinary share on an “if-converted” basis, when the impact is dilutive. Dilutive ordinary equivalent shares consist of ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding share options and restricted stock units. Ordinary share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share if their effects would be anti-dilutive.
Stock Compensation
Stock awards granted to employees and non-employees are accounted for under ASC 718-10, Share-Based Payment, and ASC 505-50, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, respectively.
In accordance with ASC 718-10, all grants of share options to employees are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant-date fair values. The Group has elected to recognize compensation expense using the straight-line method for all share options granted with service conditions that have a graded vesting schedule.
ASC 718-10 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates. Share-based compensation expense was recorded net of estimated forfeitures such that expense was recorded only for those share-based awards that are expected to vest.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-05 (“ASU 2013-05”), Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity, which specifies that a cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) should be released into earnings when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a consolidated foreign entity and the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. For sales of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro rata portion of CTA attributable to the investment would be recognized in earnings when the investment is sold. When an entity sells either a part or all of its investment in a consolidated foreign entity, CTA would be recognized in earnings only if the sale results in the parent no longer having a controlling financial interest in the foreign entity. In addition, CTA should be recognized in earnings in a business combination achieved in stages. For public entities, ASU 2013-05 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2013-05 on January 1, 2014 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The modifications to ASC Topic 740 resulting from the issuance of ASU 2013-11 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2013-11 beginning January 1, 2014 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Concentration of Risks
Concentration of credit risk
Assets that potentially subject the Group to significant concentration of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, advance to suppliers and long-term prepayments.
The Group has RMB1,210,529,000 (US$199,965,145) of cash and bank deposits in the PRC, which constitute about 97% of total cash and cash equivalents. Historically, deposits in Chinese banks are secured due to the state policy on protecting depositors’ interests. However, China promulgated a new Bankruptcy Law in August 2006 that came into effect on June 1, 2007, which contains a separate article expressly stating that the State Council promulgates implementation measures for the bankruptcy of Chinese banks based on the Bankruptcy Law when necessary. Under the new Bankruptcy Law, a Chinese bank can go into bankruptcy. In addition, since China’s concession to the World Trade Organization (“WTO”), foreign banks have been gradually permitted to operate in China which has led to increased competition for Chinese banks. Further, the global financial crisis arising in the third quarter of 2008 has increase the risk of bank bankruptcy in the PRC. In the event of bankruptcy, it is uncertain whether the Group will be able to receive its deposits back in full since it is unlikely to be classified as a secured creditor based on PRC laws. The Group mitigates its risk of loss by continuing to monitor the financial strength of the financial institutions in which it makes deposits.
Advances to suppliers and long-term prepayments are typically unsecured and arise from deposits paid in advance for future purchases of raw materials. As a percentage of total advances to suppliers, including long-term prepayments, the five suppliers with largest advance balance accounted for an aggregate of 79.3% and 74.4% of total advance to suppliers balance as of December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Due to the Group’s concentration of advances made to a limited number of suppliers and the significant prepayments that are made to them, any negative events or deterioration in financial strength with respect to the Group’s suppliers may cause a material loss to the Group and have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition and results of operations (Note 5). The risk with respect to advances made to suppliers is mitigated by credit evaluations that the Group performs on its suppliers prior to making any advances and the ongoing monitoring of its suppliers’ performance.
With respect to accounts receivable, the Group conducts periodic credit evaluation of its customers but does not require collateral or other security from its customers.
Concentration of customers
The Group currently sells a substantial portion of its PV products to a limited number of customers. As a percentage of revenues, the top five customers accounted for an aggregate of 45.0%, 29.8% and 53.5% for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The loss of sales from any of these customers would have a significant negative impact on the Group’s business. Sales to customers are mostly made through non-exclusive, short-term arrangements. Due to the Group’s dependence on a limited number of customers, any negative events with respect to the Group’s customers may cause material fluctuations or declines in the Group’s revenue and have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition and results of operations.
Concentration of suppliers
A significant portion of the Group’s raw materials are sourced from its five largest silicon material suppliers who collectively accounted for an aggregate of 40.6%, 72.4% and 76.7% of the Group’s total silicon material purchases for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Failure to develop or maintain relationships with these suppliers may cause the Group to be unable to source adequate raw materials needed to manufacture its PV products. Any disruption in the supply of raw materials to the Group may adversely affect the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

	5	ADVANCE TO SUPPLIERS AND LONG-TERM PREPAYMENTS
	Advance to suppliers and long-term prepayments represent interest-free cash deposits paid to suppliers for future purchases of raw materials. These deposits are required in order to secure supply of silicon due to limited availability.
	The multi-year supply agreements entered into between the Group and its suppliers typically state minimum quantities with associated pricing set for the annual periods under the agreements with deliveries to be made over a general timeframe, subject to change based on the Group’s purchasing needs and/or the suppliers’ product availability.
	The risk of loss arising from non-performance by or bankruptcy of the suppliers is assessed prior to making the deposits and credit quality of the suppliers is continually assessed. If there is deterioration in the creditworthiness of the suppliers, the Group may seek to recover the advances from the suppliers and will provide for losses on advances in cost of revenue where the Group believes the suppliers will be unable to fulfill their supply obligations. In such cases, a charge to cost of revenue will be recorded in the period in which a loss is determined to be probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Group has recorded charges to cost of revenue amounting to RMB287,742,000, RMB170,012,000 and RMB15,565,000(US$2,571,155), for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively, to reflect the probable loss arising from the suppliers’ failure to perform under the contracts.
	In circumstances where a supplier is in contractual default and the Group has termination rights that require repayment of its remaining deposit and the Group has asserted such rights, the advances are reclassified to other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Similarly, the Group reclassifies advances to other current assets (Note 6) when legal proceedings have commenced wherein the Group is claiming a breach of contract and is seeking monetary recovery of the remaining deposit. A provision for loss is recognized in operating expenses in the period in which the loss on such assets is determined to be probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

	In November 2006, the Company adopted a stock option scheme (the “2006 Option Plan”) which allows the Company to offer a variety of incentive awards to employees, directors and consultants of the Company (the “2006 Option Plan Participants”). Under the 2006 Option Plan, the Company may issue options to the 2006 Option Plan Participants to purchase not more than 10,799,685 ordinary shares. All options granted under the 2006 Option Plan will expire on November 30, 2016 and generally vest over 3 to 5 years.
	On August 22, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Incentive Plan”). The 2007 Incentive Plan permits the grant of Incentive Stock Options, Non-statutory Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units, Performance Shares, and other stock-based awards to employees, directors and consultants of the Group (the “Participants”). Under the 2007 Incentive Plan, the Company may issue up to 10,799,685 ordinary shares plus an annual increase of 2% of the outstanding ordinary shares on the first day of the fiscal year, or such lesser amount of shares as determined by the Board of Directors. The 2007 Incentive Plan will expire on August 21, 2017.
	By a resolution of the Board of Directors on November 30, 2007, 59,994 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) were granted to the Company’s existing three independent directors. As of December 31, 2009, the 59,994 RSUs have vested. By resolutions of the Board of Directors in 2007 and 2013, 7,500 RSUs were authorized to be granted to each of the independent directors annually from 2008 to 2012, and 15,000 RSUs were authorized to be granted to each of the independent directors annually from January 1, 2013. The 7,500 RSUs granted on January 1, 2008 to each of the independent directors vest in batches of 2,500 RSUs each year beginning on January 1, 2009. The 7,500 RSUs granted respectively on January 1, 2010, 2011 and 2012 to each of the independent directors vest in batches of 1,250 RSUs each half year beginning on July 1, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The 15,000 RSUs granted on January 1, 2013 to each of the independent directors vest in batches of 2,500 RSUs each half year beginning on July 1, 2013. During 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Board of Directors also approved grant of 1,337,625, 420,000 and 5,000 RSUs, respectively, to certain of the Participants. Each RSU represents one ADS of the Company, which is equal to five ordinary shares.

	The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total intrinsic value (the aggregate difference between the Company’s closing stock price of US$0.554 per ordinary share as of December 31, 2013 and the exercise price for in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders if all in-the-money options had been exercised on December 31, 2013.
	The aggregate fair value of share options that vested during 2011, 2012 and 2013 was US$3,161,594, US$862,762 and US$245,541, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of share options granted during 2011 was US$1.07. No share options were granted during 2012 and 2013.
	The aggregate intrinsic value of share options exercised during 2011 was US$60,481. No share options were exercised during 2012 and 2013.
	The aggregate fair value of the share options outstanding as of December 31, 2013 measured based on respective grant-date fair values was US$4,366,202 and such amount shall be recognized as compensation expense using the straight-line method with graded vesting based on service conditions.
	As of December 31, 2013, there was US$7,578 of unrecognized share-based compensation cost related to share options which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 0.5 years after December 31, 2013. To the extent the actual forfeiture rate is different from the current estimation, actual share-based compensation related to these awards may be different from the expectation.
	The following table summarized the Company’s RSU activity under 2007 Incentive Plan:
			Number of RSUs			Weighted-average		Aggregate intrinsic

	The aggregate fair value of vested RSUs for 2011, 2012 and 2013 measured based on respective grant-date fair values was US$3,583,331, US$1,105,941 and US$470,145, respectively. The aggregate fair value of the unvested RSUs as of December 31, 2013 was US$661,221 based on the quoted market price of the Company’s ordinary shares at the respective grant dates, and such amount shall be recognized as compensation expenses using the straight-line method with graded vesting based on service conditions. The weighted-average grant-date fair values of RSUs granted during 2011, 2012 and 2013 were US$6.26, US$1.10 and US$3.84, respectively. The total intrinsic value of RSUs vested during 2011, 2012 and 2013 was US$2,533,282, US$241,553 and US$311,193, respectively.
	As of December 31, 2013, there was US$389,528 of unrecognized share-based compensation cost related to RSUs which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 1.65 years. To the extent the actual forfeiture rate is different from current estimation, actual share-based compensation related to these awards may be different from the expectation.
	For stock options granted before January 1, 2008, the fair value of each share option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For share options granted after January 1, 2008, the fair value of each award is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial-lattice option valuation model. The binomial-lattice model considers characteristics of fair value option pricing that are not available under the Black-Scholes model. Similar to the Black-Scholes model, the binomial-lattice model takes into account variables such as volatility, dividend yield, and risk-free interest rate. However, in addition, the binomial-lattice model considers the contractual term of the option, the probability that the option will be exercised prior to the end of its contractual life, and the probability of termination or retirement of the option holder in computing the value of the option. For these reasons, the Company believes that the binomial-lattice model provides a fair value for its share-based compensation plans that is more representative of actual experience and future expected experience than the value calculated using the Black-Scholes model.
	The Company calculated the estimated fair value of share options on the grant date using the binomial-lattice model for 2011 with the following assumptions. No share options were granted in 2012 and 2013, respectively.
			Granted in 2011
	Risk-free interest rate			3.33%
	Expected dividend yield			0%
	Expected volatility			80%
	Sub-optimal early exercise factor			2.5 times
	Fair value of ordinary shares			US$1.71
	Risk-free interest rate was based on a zero coupon U.S. bond rate for the terms consistent with the expected life of the award at the time of grant. Expected dividend yield was determined in view of the Company’s historical dividend payout rate. The Company estimated expected volatility at the date of grant based on a combination of historical and implied volatilities from comparable publicly listed companies. Forfeiture rate of Nil was estimated based on historical forfeiture patterns and adjusted to reflect future change in facts and circumstances, if any. The sub-optimal early exercise factor was determined based on the expected price multiple at which employees were likely to exercise stock options.
	Total compensation expense relating to share options and RSUs recognized for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 is as follows:

	On January 29, 2008 and concurrently with the convertible bond issuance (Note 22), the Company issued and sold 9,019,611 ADSs, representing 45,098,055 of the Company’s ordinary shares at the par value per share of US$0.0001.
	The Company is entitled to repurchase any or all of the ADSs at par value on any business day after the entire principal amount of the convertible bonds ceases to be outstanding. Such rights will expire one month after the maturity of the convertible bonds. In addition, the holders of the ADSs have the right to request the Company to repurchase the ADSs at par value at any time by giving prior notice. Since the holders have the ability to require the repurchase of the ADSs, which is outside the control of the Company, the ordinary shares underlying the ADSs have been classified as mezzanine equity. The holders are entitled to receive all cash and non-cash distributions that an ordinary shareholder would receive but such distributions are required to be paid back to the Company upon repurchase of the ADSs.
	The adoption of ASU 2009-15, Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing, on January 1, 2010 revised the Company’s accounting for the redeemable ordinary shares. The Company evaluated the redeemable ordinary shares concurrently with the bonds upon adoption of ASU 2009-15 and determined that the redeemable ordinary shares issued qualified as an own-share lending arrangement because the purpose of issuance of the shares was to increase the availability of the Company’s shares and facilitate the ability of the holders to hedge the conversion option in the Company’s convertible debt and the Company is entitled to repurchase any or all of the ADSs at par value on any business day after the entire principal amount of the convertible bonds ceases to be outstanding.
	Accordingly, the share-lending arrangement upon adoption of ASU 2009-15 is measured at fair value, and recognized as an issuance cost with an offset to redeemable ordinary shares. ASU 2009-15 requires the Company to recognize the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. An adjustment of US$3,076 (approximately RMB22,000), which represents the fair value that would have been recognized if the guidance in ASU 2009-15 had been applied from the issuance date on January 29, 2008, was recorded on January 1, 2010 to issuance cost with an offset to redeemable ordinary shares.
	On October 25, 2011, the Company repurchased and cancelled 5,005,536 ADSs, representing 25,027,680 of the Company’s ordinary shares at the par value per share of US$0.0001.

	On January 29, 2008, the Company issued in aggregate principal amount of US$172,500,000 Convertible Senior Notes (the “2008 Notes”) due January 15, 2018 to third-party investors (the “Holders”). The Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.5% per annum, payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on July 15, 2008.
	The Holders may require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the 2008 Notes on January 15, 2015, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2008 Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Holders may also require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the 2008 Notes at a price equal to 100% of principal amount of the 2008 Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, which is defined as a change in control or a termination of trading. In addition, the Company may redeem part or all of the Notes on and after January 20, 2015, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2008 Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, provided the Company’s ADSs trading price meets certain conditions. At the Holders’ option, the principal amount of the Notes may be converted into the Company’s ADSs initially at a conversion rate of 52.2876 ADSs (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately US$19.125 per ADS) per US$1,000 principal amount of the 2008 Notes, at any time prior to maturity. The applicable conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
	The 2008 Notes were initially recorded at the principal amount of US$172,500,000. Direct debt issuance costs of RMB40,459,000 are deferred and amortized over the life of the 2008 Notes using the effective interest rate method. At the commitment date on January 29, 2008, the Company evaluated and determined that the redemption and put options do not require bifurcation from the 2008 Notes under the requirements of ASC 815-10 because they are clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument. No beneficial conversion feature was recognized as the effective conversion price per ADS of US$19.125 was higher than the fair value per ADS of the Company at the commitment date (January 29, 2008) of US$17.73.
	The adoption of ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, on January 1, 2009 revised the Company’s accounting for the conversion option of the 2008 Notes. The Company evaluated the conversion option of the 2008 Notes upon adoption of ASC 815-40 and determined that the conversion option qualified for derivative accounting because the conversion option, if freestanding, is not considered to be indexed to the Company’s own stock.
	Accordingly, the conversion option was bifurcated from the 2008 Notes upon adoption of ASC 815-40 as a derivative liability at an initial fair value of RMB962,993,000. Changes in fair value of the conversion options are recognized through the statements of comprehensive income. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a loss of RMB6,105,000 (US$1,008,474) (2012: a loss of RMB5,692,000) resulting from the change in fair value of the conversion option. As of December 31, 2013, the conversion option, which has been combined with the 2008 Notes on the balance sheet, was recorded at a fair value of RMB14,013,000 (US$2,314,783) (2012: RMB7,908,000).
	In the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company repurchased the 2008 Notes with total principal amount of US$71,900, 000 with total consideration of RMB299,271,000 from the open market, and recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of RMB82,713,000 as a result of the repurchase. No 2008 Notes were repurchased during 2013.
	For the year ended December 31, 2013, the interest expense for the Notes was RMB133,587,000 (US$22,067,000).

According to the agreement entered in 2010 with the administration committee of Nantong Economic and Technological Development Zone (“NETDZ”), SolarOne Nantong would need to achieve certain specified requirements on its production capacity in three years after the completion of its construction. Failure to meet the requirement upon assessment date (i.e. three years from start of construction) may result in a proportional refund of the government subsidies received for any actual production capacity not achieved in accordance with the capacity stipulated in the agreement. In 2013, SolarOne Nantong entered into an amendment agreement with the administration committee of NETDZ, according to which the assessment date was postponed by one year.

	Deferred taxation
	Deferred tax assets (liabilities) reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The components of deferred tax assets (liabilities) are as follows:
			As of December 31,
			2012			2013			2013
			(RMB’000)			(RMB’000)			(US$’000)

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Group has considered whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Group records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to a net amount that management believes is more-likely-than-not of being realizable based on the weight of all available evidence. During the year ended December 31, 2013, an adjustment of RMB254,066,000 (US$41,968,713) was made on the beginning-of-the-year balance of a valuation allowance because of a change in circumstances that causes a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset in future years.
As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the Group has a net tax operating loss from its PRC subsidiaries of RMB627,705,000 and RMB844,706,000 (US$139,535,491), respectively, which starts to expire in 2016. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the Group has a net tax operating loss from its non-PRC subsidiaries of RMB884,532,000and RMB1,032,221,000 (US$170,510,762), respectively, which starts to expire in 2029.
As of December 31, 2013, the Group intends to permanently reinvest the undistributed earnings from its foreign subsidiaries to fund future operations. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to investments in foreign subsidiaries is not determined because such a determination is not practicable.
Uncertain Tax Positions
As of December 31, 2013, the Group’s unrecognized tax benefit is RMB143,473,000 (US$23,700,051) which related to tax incentives received and tax resident status.
It is possible that the amount accrued will change in the next 12 months as a result of new interpretive guidance released by the PRC tax authorities; however, an estimate of the range of the possible change cannot be made at this time. The unrecognized tax benefits, if ultimately recognized, will impact the effective tax rate. Reconciliation of accrued unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
		For the year ended December 31,
		2011			2012			2013			2013
		(RMB’000)			(RMB’000)			(RMB’000)			(US$’000)
Beginning and ending balance			143,473			143,473			143,473			23,700
Based on existing PRC tax regulations, the tax periods of SolarOne Qidong, SolarOne Shanghai, SolarOne Technology, Solar R&D, Solar Engineering, SolarOne Nantong, Nantong Hanwha I&E and Nantong Tech for the years ended December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2013 remain open to potential examination by the tax authorities. The tax periods for the Company’s non-PRC subsidiaries’ for the years ended December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2013 also remain open to potential examination by the respective tax authorities.
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Group did not accrue any penalties and interests related to the unrecognized tax benefits.

	Full-time employees of the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC participate in a government-mandated defined contribution plan pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, unemployment insurance, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. Chinese labor regulations require that the PRC subsidiaries of the Company make contributions to the government for these benefits based on about 41% of the employees’ salaries on a monthly basis. The Group’s PRC subsidiaries have no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions made. The total amounts for such employee benefits, which were expensed as incurred, were RMB84,493,000, RMB79,464,000 and RMB84,493,000 (US$13,957,249) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

	27	SHARE ISSUANCE AND REPURCHASE AGREEMENT
	On August 3, 2010, a major shareholder of the Company, Good Energies Investments (Jersey) Limited (“Good Energies”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “GE Sales Agreement”) with Hanwha Chemical, a Korean Company, pursuant to which Good Energies agreed to sell its 81,772,950 ordinary shares and 1,281,011 ADSs to Hanwha Chemical. Concurrently with the execution of the GE Sales Agreement, Hanwha Chemical entered into (i) a Share Purchase Agreement with the Company (the “Issuer Sales Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to Hanwha Chemical 36,455,089 ordinary shares and (ii) a Share Purchase Agreement with Yonghua Solar Power Investment Holding Ltd. (“Yonghua”), pursuant to which Yonghua agreed to sell to Hanwha Chemical 38,634,750 ordinary shares (the “Yonghua Sales Agreement”). Hanwha Chemical subsequently assigned and transferred to Hanwha Solar, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hanwha Chemical, its rights and obligations under the Issuer Sales Agreement, the GE Sales Agreement and the Yonghua Sales Agreement. In connection with the transaction, Hanwha Solar requested the Company to issue 45,080,019 new ordinary shares at par value of US$0.0001 per share in a Share Issuance and Repurchase Agreement (“Share Issuance and Repurchase Agreement”).
	Pursuant to the GE Sales Agreement and the Yonghua Sales Agreement, Hanwha Solar paid cash consideration of approximately US$202 million and US$90 million to Good Energies and Yonghua, respectively. Concurrently, pursuant to the Issuer Sales Agreement, the Company received net proceeds of approximately US$76 million for the issuance of 36,455,089 ordinary shares. On September 16, 2010, the respective parties to the GE Sales Agreement, the Issuer Sales Agreement and the Yonghua Sales Agreement consummated the purchase and sale of the ordinary shares and ADSs contemplated thereby. As a result, Good Energies and Yonghua ceased to own any ordinary shares or ADSs of the Company as of September 16, 2010.
	The Company recorded the shares issued in the Share Issuance and Repurchase Agreement with Hanwha Solar as a liability in accordance ASC 480-10, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, as there is an unconditional obligation that requires the Company to redeem the shares by transferring assets at a determinable date at the par value per share of US$0.0001. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has issued 30,672,689 ordinary shares to Hanwha Solar and recorded a liability of RMB20,554 in other current liabilities in connection with the Share Issuance and Repurchase Agreement.
	In March 2011, the Company issued 14,407,330 ordinary shares to Hanwha Solar in connection with the Share Issuance and Repurchase Agreement and recorded an additional liability of US$1,441 in other current liabilities in connection with the Share Issuance and Repurchase Agreement.
	On October 25, 2011, in connection with the repurchase of redeemable ordinary shares (Note 20), the Company repurchased and cancelled 25,017,671 ordinary shares in connection with the Share Issuance and Repurchase Agreement and reversed an amount of US$2,502. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2011, the Company has 20,062,348 outstanding shares issued to Hanwha Solar under the Share Issuance and Repurchase Agreement with a corresponding liability of RMB13,000 (US$2,147) recorded in other current liabilities (Note 12). Such balance remained unchanged in 2012 and 2013.

	Litigation
	The Group was involved in certain cases pending in various PRC and U.S. courts and arbitration as of December 31, 2013. For certain proceedings, the Group is currently unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or a range of reasonably possible losses. The Group is often unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss until developments in such matters have provided sufficient information to support an assessment of the range of possible loss, such as quantification of a damage demand from plaintiffs, discovery from other parties and investigation of factual allegations, rulings by the court on motions or appeals, analysis by experts, or the progress of settlement negotiations. On an annual basis, the Group reviews relevant information with respect to litigation contingencies, and updates its accruals, disclosures and estimates of reasonably possible losses or ranges of loss based on such reviews.
	For certain proceedings that the Group is involved as the plaintiff and expects favorable outcome, an estimated gain from a gain contingency is not reflected in the statement of financial position or statements of comprehensive loss until the realization of the gain contingency.
	Income Taxes
	Effective from January 1, 2007, the Group adopted ASC 740-10, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in the tax return. ASC 740-10 also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the Group has recorded an unrecognized tax benefit for RMB143,473,000 (US$23,700,051).

No consideration was received by the Company for this issuance of ordinary shares. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the used ordinary shares issued to share depository bank were 628,590 and 871,095 respectively. The unused ordinary issued to share depository bank are legally issued and outstanding but are treated as escrowed shares for accounting purposes and, therefore, have been excluded from the computation of earnings per share. Any ordinary shares not used in the settlement of stock option awards will be returned to the Company.
	For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the potential dilutive effect in relation to the stock options, unvested RSUs and convertible bonds were excluded as they have an anti-dilutive effect. The redeemable shares have been excluded in both basic and diluted net loss per share as they are not entitled to the earnings of the Company.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC subtopic 820-10 (“ASC 820-10”), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1

–

Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets

Level 2

–

Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace

Level 3

–

Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity

ASC 820-10 describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach; and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.

Foreign currency and commodity derivatives and interest rate swap are classified within Level 2 because they are valued using models utilizing market observable and other inputs.

The inputs used to measure the fair value of the conversion option of convertible bonds were largely unobservable, and, accordingly, the measurement was classified as Level 3. The fair value of the conversion option of convertible bonds was estimated using the binomial approach. The following assumptions were used for estimating the fair value:

Underlying share price is the Company’s closing price as listed on NASDAQ on December 31, 2012 and 2013. The conversion price is the initial conversion price of the convertible bonds. Time to maturity is the remaining years from balance sheet date to January 15, 2018, the maturity date of the convertible bonds. The risk-free rate is derived from the United States Treasury zero coupon risk-free rates with the remaining terms equal to the time to maturity as of December 31, 2012 and 2013. The Company estimates the expected volatility based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common shares. The comparable yield to maturity is estimated based on the average yield of bonds with same credit rating of the Company with maturities close to the time to maturity as of December 31, 2012 and 2013.

ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE COMPANY	'
	33	ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE COMPANY
	In accordance with the PRC Regulations on Enterprises with Foreign Investment, an enterprise established in the PRC with foreign investment is required to provide for certain statutory reserves, namely (i) General Reserve Fund, (ii) Enterprise Expansion Fund and (iii) Staff Welfare and Bonus Fund, which are appropriated from net profit as reported in the enterprise’s PRC statutory accounts. A wholly-owned foreign enterprise (“WOFE”) is required to allocate at least 10% of its annual after-tax profit to the General Reserve Fund until the balance of such fund has reached 50% of its respective registered capital. A non wholly-owned foreign invested enterprise is permitted to provide for the above allocation at the discretion of its board of directors. Appropriations to the Enterprise Expansion Fund and Staff Welfare and Bonus Fund are at the discretion of the board of directors for all foreign invested enterprises. The aforementioned reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not distributable as cash dividends.
	SolarOne Nantong is an WOFE since its establishment in 2011. SolarOne Qidong became a WOFE in May 2006 and, therefore, is subject to the above mandated restrictions on distributable profits. Prior to May 2006, although SolarOne Qidong was a Sino-foreign joint venture enterprise, it was required to allocate at least 10% of its after-tax profit to the General Reserve Fund in accordance with the joint venture agreements entered into among the then joint venture partners and the appropriations to the Enterprise Expansion Fund and Staff Welfare and Bonus Fund were at the discretion of the board of directors.
	For other subsidiaries incorporated in PRC, including SolarOne Technology, SolarOne Shanghai, Solar R&D, Solar Engineering, Nantong Hanwha I&E and Nantong Tech, the General Reserve Fund was appropriated based on 10% of net profits as reported in each subsidiary’s PRC statutory accounts.
	The Group provided RMB4,456,000 statutory reserves for the year ended December 31, 2011. There were no statutory reserves provided for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 as all of the Group’s PRC subsidiaries incurred net losses in these two years.
	Under PRC laws and regulations, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are restricted in their ability to transfer their net assets to the Company in the form of dividend payments, loans, or advances. As determined pursuant to PRC generally accepted accounting principles, net assets of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries which are restricted from transfer amounted to RMB3,401,404,000 (US$561,871,913) as of December 31, 2013.

Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements of the Company
(a)	Basis of presentation
In the Company-only condensed financial statements, the Company’s investment in subsidiaries is stated at cost plus equity in undistributed earnings of subsidiaries since inception or acquisition. The Company-only condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company records its investment in its subsidiaries under the equity method of accounting as prescribed in ASC 323-10, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Such investment is presented on the condensed balance sheets as “Investment in subsidiaries” and share of the subsidiaries’ profit or loss as “Share of profit (loss) from subsidiaries” on the condensed statements of comprehensive income. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company shall adjust the carrying amount of the investment for its share of the subsidiary’s cumulative losses until the investment balance reaches zero, unless it is contractually obligated to continue to pick up the subsidiary’s losses. The Company confirmed its unlimited financial support to its subsidiaries for their operations. Consequently, the Company recognized RMB1,093,073,000 (US$180,562,796) of its share of cumulative losses in excess of its investment in “Losses in excess of investments” as of December 31, 2013 (2012: RMB454,862,000).
The subsidiaries did not pay any dividends to the Company for the periods presented.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted.
(b)	Related party transactions and balances
As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the Company paid on behalf of its subsidiaries of RMB3,600,276,000 and RMB3,480,154,000 (US$574,880,486), respectively, and subsidiaries of the Company paid on behalf the Company of RMB21,073,000 and RMB20,441,000 (US$3,376,613), respectively.
For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, the Company paid on behalf of its subsidiaries of RMB34,466,000 and RMB9,775,000 (US$1,614,715), respectively, and subsidiaries of the Company paid operating expenses, interest expense and consideration for repurchase of convertible bonds of RMB359,325,000 and RMB129,265,000 (US$21,353,057), respectively, on behalf of the Company.
As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, all balances with related parties were unsecured, non-interesting bearing and repayable on demand.
(c)	Long-term deferred expenses
The long-term deferred expenses as of December 31, 2012 and 2013 mainly included the cost related to issuance of convertible bonds (Note 22) amortized over 7 years using the effective interest rate method since January 2008. These issuance costs have been recorded as “Long-term deferred expenses.” As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the unamortized costs recorded in long-term deferred expenses related to the issuance of convertible bonds amounted to RMB4,080,000 and RMB166,000 (US$27,421), respectively.
(d)	Accrued expenses and other payables
As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, other payables mainly included interest payable to the holders of the convertible bonds of RMB10,068,000 and RMB9,766,000 (US$1,613,228), respectively.

SUMMARY_OF_SIGNIFICANT_ACCOUNT1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Basis of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation
	The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.
Foreign Currency	'
	Foreign Currency
	The functional currency of the Company and each of its subsidiaries is Renminbi as determined based on the criteria of ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation except SolarOne USA, Solar Australia, Solar Canada and SolarOne Gmbh which have determined their functional currency to be their respective local currency. The reporting currency of the Company is also Renminbi. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities are remeasured at the balance sheet date exchange rate. Exchange gains and losses are separately reported in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company uses the average exchange rate prevailing during the year and the exchange rate at the balance sheet date to translate its operating results and financial position, respectively. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive loss.
Convenience Translation	'
	Convenience Translation
	Amounts in United States dollars are presented for the convenience of the reader and are translated at the noon buying rate of US$1.00 to RMB6.0537 on December 31, 2013, the last business day in fiscal year 2013, in the City of New York for cable transfers of Renminbi as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. No representation is made that the Renminbi amounts could have been, or could be, converted into United States dollars at such rate.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods. Area where management uses subjective judgment include, provision for doubtful debts, provision for advance to suppliers, provision for warranty, inventory write-down, useful lives of fixed assets and land use rights, impairment of fixed assets, land use rights and goodwill, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation expenses, fair values of derivative contracts and fair value of conversion feature of convertible bonds. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, and consist of cash on hand and bank deposits, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use and have original maturities less than 90 days.
Restricted Cash	'
	Restricted Cash
	Restricted cash represents amounts held by a bank as security for letters of credit facilities, notes payable and bank borrowings and, therefore, are not available for the Group’s use. Changes in restricted cash that relate to the purchase of raw materials or sale of goods are classified within cash flows from operating activities, changes in restricted cash that relate to the purchase of fixed assets are classified within cash flows from investing activities and changes in restricted cash that relate to bank borrowings are classified within cash flows from financing activities. The restriction on cash is expected to be released within the next twelve months.
Accounts and Notes Receivable	'
	Accounts and Notes Receivable
	Accounts and notes receivable are recognized and carried at original invoiced amounts less an allowance for potential uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period in which collection is determined to be not probable based on historical experience, account balance aging, prevailing economic conditions and an assessment of specific evidence indicating troubled collection. A receivable is written off after all collection efforts have ceased.
Debt Issuance Costs	'
	Debt Issuance Costs
	Debt issuance costs represent the incurred costs directly attributable to the issuance of the convertible bonds. These costs are deferred and amortized ratably using the effective interest method from the debt issuance date over the life of the convertible bonds. Upon the conversion of the bonds, the related debt issuance costs will be debited to shareholders’ equity.
Arrangement Fees	'
	Arrangement Fees
	Arrangement fees represent the incurred costs directly attributable to the bank borrowings. These costs are deferred and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the bank borrowings.
Inventories	'
	Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by the weighted-average method. Raw material cost is based on purchase costs while work-in-progress and finished goods comprise direct materials, direct labor and an allocation of manufacturing overhead costs.
Fixed Assets	'
	Fixed Assets
	Fixed assets are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
	Buildings		20 years
	Plant and machinery		10 years
	Furniture, fixtures and office equipment		5 years
	Computer software		5 years
	Motor vehicles		5 years
	Leasehold improvements		Over the shorter of the lease term or their estimated useful lives
	Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense when incurred, whereas the cost of renewals and betterments that extend the useful life of fixed assets are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Retirement, sale and disposal of assets are recorded by removing the cost and accumulated depreciation with any resulting gain or loss reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
	Cost incurred in constructing new facilities, including progress payments, interest and other costs relating to the construction are capitalized and transferred to fixed assets upon completion and depreciation commences when the asset is available for its intended use.
	Interest costs are capitalized if they are incurred during the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset and such costs could have been avoided if expenditures for the assets have not been made. Capitalization of interest costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Interest costs are capitalized until the assets are ready for their intended use. Total interest costs incurred during 2011, 2012 and 2013 were RMB 230,093,000, RMB340,583,000 and RMB328,962,000 (US$54,340,651) and interest capitalized during 2011, 2012 and 2013 amounted to RMB59,034,000, RMB41,068,000 and RMB5,142,000 (US$849,398), respectively.
Land use rights	'
	Land use rights
	Land use rights represent amounts paid for the right to use land in the PRC and are recorded at purchase cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the lives of the land use rights agreements, which have terms of tenure and weighted-average amortization period of 50 years.
Goodwill	'
	Goodwill
	Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed of the acquired business.
	Goodwill is reviewed at least annually at December 31 for impairment, or earlier if there is an indication of impairment, in accordance with ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Group assigns and assesses goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level.
	The performance of the impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. Fair value is primarily determined by computing the future discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the reporting unit. If the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, goodwill may be impaired. If this occurs, the Group performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss.
	The fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to its assets and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the implied goodwill fair value is less than its carrying value, the difference is recognized an impairment loss.
	In accordance with ASC 350, the Group assigned and assessed goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below the operating segment. The Group has determined that goodwill is only allocable to one of our reporting units, SolarOne Technology. As of December 31, 2011, the Group performed impairment tests on goodwill in a two-step process. The Group determined the fair value of the reporting unit using the income approach based on the discounted expected future cash flows associated with the reporting unit. The discounted cash flows for the reporting unit were based on five-year projections. Cash flow projections were based on past experience, actual operating results and management’s best estimates about future developments, as well as certain market assumptions. Cash flow after the fifth year were estimated using a terminal value calculation, which considered terminal value growth rate at 3%, considering long-term revenue growth rates for entities in the relevant industries in the PRC. The discount rate of approximately 16% was used in the valuations which reflect the market assessment of the risks specific to the Group’s industry and is based on the weighted-average cost of capital for that particular reporting unit.
	The Group recognized an impairment loss of RMB134,735,000 for the entire goodwill as of December 31, 2011.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	'
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	The Group evaluates its long-lived assets or asset groups, including land use rights with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying amount of a group of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When these events occur, the Group evaluates for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Group would recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its fair value.
	During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the significant decline in the market price of its PV products provided indication that the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including fixed assets and land use rights, may not be recoverable. As of December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, based on the impairment assessment performed, the Company concluded the carrying amount of the long-lived assets is recoverable, and no impairment loss is recognized.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and notes receivable, other receivables, accounts and notes payable, short-term bank borrowings, amounts due to/from related parties, long-term bank borrowings, long-term notes, convertible bonds and derivative contracts. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments other than long-term bank borrowings, long term notes and convertible bonds approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the long-term bank borrowings and long-term notes also approximate their fair value since they bear floating interest rates which approximate market interest rates.
	The conversion option was bifurcated from the convertible bonds at its fair value and the residual value allocated to the convertible bonds was accreted to the redemption amount using the effective interest method. The Group determined the fair value of the conversion option using binomial model with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm.
	As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the fair value and carrying value of the convertible bonds is as follows:
					As of December 31,
			Note		2012		2013		2013
					(RMB’000)		(RMB’000)		(US$’000)
	Fair value *					486,767		565,673		93,443
	Carrying value			31		368,590		470,357		77,697
	*	The fair value of the convertible bonds is determined using binomial model with reference to market quote on the trade price of the convertible bonds as of December 31, 2012 and 2013.
Financial Instruments - Foreign Currency Derivative Contracts, Commodity Contracts and Interest Rate Swap Contract	'
	Financial Instruments – Foreign Currency Derivative Contracts, Commodity Contracts and Interest Rate Swap Contract
	The Group’s primary objective for holding foreign currency derivative contracts, commodity derivative contracts and interest rate swap contract is to manage its foreign currency risks principally arising from sales contracts denominated in Euros and Japanese Yen, the stability of the purchase price for silver and aluminum (which are two kinds of raw materials required in the production of PV products), and the interest rate risk for the long-term bank borrowings. The Group records these derivative instruments as current assets or current liabilities, measured at fair value.
	During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Group entered into cross-currency exchange rate agreements to receive RMB and sell other currencies, commodity agreements to purchase silver and aluminum, and an interest rate swap agreement to pay fixed interest rate rather than floating rate. Changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. These derivative instruments are not designated and do not qualify as hedges and are adjusted to fair value through current earnings. As of December 31, 2013, the Group had outstanding cross-currency exchange rate contracts with notional amounts of Euro15,000,000 (2012: Euro44,000,000), US$120,415,000 (2012: US$46,250,000) and JPY4,277,500,000 (2012: Nil), and an interest rate swap contract with notional amount of US$50,000,000 (2012: US$50,000,000). In addition, the Group had outstanding commodity contracts with a quantity of 140,000 ounces of silver as of December 31, 2012. The Group estimates the fair value of its foreign currency, commodity and interest rate swap derivatives using a pricing model based on market observable inputs.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	The Group’s primary business activity is to produce and sell PV modules. The Group periodically, upon special request from customers, sells PV cells and silicon ingots. The Group records revenue related to the sale of PV modules, PV cells and silicon ingots when the criteria of ASC 605-10, Revenue Recognition: Overall, are met. These criteria include all of the following: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred; the sales price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured.
	More specifically, the Group’s sales arrangements are evidenced by framework sales agreements and/or by individual sales agreements for each transaction. The shipping terms of the Group’s sales arrangements are generally “Cost, Insurance and Freight” (“CIF”) and “Free on Board” (“FOB”) shipping point whereby the customer takes title and assumes the risks and rewards of ownership of the products upon delivery to the shipper. The customer bears all costs and risks of loss or damage to the goods from that point. Under some sales arrangements, the Group requires its customers to prepay prior to shipment. The Company performs ongoing credit assessment of each customer, including reviewing the customer’s latest financial information and historical payment record and performing necessary due diligence to determine acceptable credit terms. In instances where longer credit terms are granted to certain customers, the timing of revenue recognition was not impacted as the Company has historically been able to collect under the original payment terms without making concessions. Other than warranty obligations, the Group does not have any commitments or obligations to deliver additional products or services to the customers. Based on the above, the Group records revenue related to product sales upon delivery of the product to the shipper, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met.
	Payments received from customers for shipping and handling costs are included in net revenues. Shipping and handling costs relating to sales and purchases are included in selling expenses and cost of revenue, respectively.
	The Group entered into a processing service arrangement to process PV cells into PV modules. For this service arrangement, the Group “purchases” PV cells from the customer and contemporaneously agrees to “sell” a specified quantity of PV modules back to the same customer. The quantity of PV modules sold back to the customers under these processing arrangements is consistent with the amount of PV cells purchased from the customer based on current production conversion rates. In accordance with ASC 845-10, Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty, the Group records the amount of revenue on these processing transactions based on the amount received for PV modules sold less the amount paid for the PV cells purchased from the customer. These sales are subject to all of the above-noted criteria relating to revenue recognition.
	The Company recognizes revenue related to long-term solar systems integration services on the percentage-of-completion method. The Company estimates its revenues by using the cost-to-cost method, whereby it derives a ratio by comparing the costs incurred to date to the total costs expected to be incurred on the project. The Company applies the ratio computed in the cost-to-cost analysis to the contract price to determine the estimated revenues earned in each period. A contract may be regarded as substantially completed if remaining costs are not significant in amount. When the Company determines that total estimated costs will exceed total revenues under a contract, it records a loss accordingly. Unbilled amounts are included in the consolidated balance sheets as “unbilled solar systems integration revenue”.
	Revenue is recognized net of all value-added taxes imposed by governmental authorities and collected from customers concurrent with revenue-producing transactions. The Group does not offer implicit or explicit rights of return, regardless of whether goods were shipped to the distributors or shipped directly to the end user, other than due to product defect.
Cost of Revenue	'
	Cost of Revenue
	Cost of revenue includes direct and indirect production costs.
Research and Development Costs	'
	Research and Development Costs
	Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Advertising Expenditures	'
	Advertising Expenditures
	Advertising costs are expensed when incurred and are included in “selling expenses.” Advertising expenses were RMB13,087,000, RMB29,255,000 and RMB7,902,000(US$1,305,317) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
Warranty Cost	'
	Warranty Cost
	The Group primarily provides standard warranty coverage on PV modules sold to customers. Before 2012, the standard warranty provides for a 2 to 5-year warranty against technical defects, a 10-year warranty against a decline from initial power generation capacity of more than 10% and a 20 to 25-year warranty against a decline from initial power generation capacity of more than 20%. From January 1, 2012, the standard warranty provides a 12-year warranty against technical defects, and a 25-year linear warranty, which guarantees: 1) no less than 97% of the nominal power generation capacity for multicrystalline PV modules and 96% of the nominal power generation capacity for monocrystalline PV modules in the first year, 2) an annual output degradation of no more than 0.7% thereafter, and 3) by the end of the 25th year, the actual power output shall be no less than 82% of initial power generation capacity.
	The estimate of the amount of warranty obligation is primarily based on the following considerations: 1) the results of technical analyses, including simulation tests performed on the products by an industry-recognized external certification body as well as internally developed testing procedures conducted by the Company’s engineering team, 2) the Company’s historical warranty claims experience, 3) the warranty accrual practices of other companies in the industry that produce PV products that are comparable in engineering design, raw material input and functionality to the products, and which sell products to a similar class of customers, and 4) the expected failure rate and future costs to service failed products. The results of the technical analyses support the future operational efficiency of the PV modules at levels significantly above the minimum guaranteed levels over the respective warranty periods. The estimate of warranty costs are affected by the estimated and actual product failure rates, the costs to repair or replace failed products and potential service and delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Based on the above considerations and management’s ability and intention to provide repairs, replacements or refunds for defective products, the Group accrues for warranty costs for the 2 to 12-year warranty against technical defects based on 1% of revenue for PV modules. No warranty cost accrual has been recorded for the 10-year or 20 to 25-year warranties for decline from initial power generation capacity because the Group determined the likelihood of claims arising from these warranties to be remote based on internal and external testing of the PV modules and strong quality control procedures in the production process. The basis for the warranty accrual will be reviewed periodically based on actual experience. The Group does not sell extended warranty coverage that is separately priced or optional.
Government Grants	'
	Government Grants
	Government grants received by the Company consist of unrestricted grants and subsidies. The amount of such government grants are determined solely at the discretion of the relevant government authorities and there is no assurance that the Group will continue to receive these government grants in the future. Government grants are recognized when all the conditions attached to the grants have been met, and the grants are received. For the government grants that is of a non-operating nature and with no further conditions to be met, the amounts are recorded as a non-operating income by offsetting to its operating expenses when received; whereas for the government grants with certain operating conditions, the amounts are recorded as liabilities when received and will be recorded as an operating income when the conditions are met.
	During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Group recorded RMB14,437,000, RMB25,911,000 and RMB3,870,000 (US$639,278), respectively, of government subsidies as an offset to its operating expenses, because these government grants were received due to the reason that the Group qualifies as a “high and new technology enterprise” in Jiangsu Province in the PRC. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Group received nil, nil and RMB5,000,000 (US$825,941), respectively, as reimbursement for interest expense incurred for imported equipment, which are recorded as other income. The government grants recorded in operating expense or other income are not subject to adjustment and do not have any restrictions as to the use of funds.
	As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the Group recorded RMB50,000,000 and RMB50,000,000 (US$8,259,412), respectively, of government grants received as long-term payable because the Group has not fulfilled the conditions required by the government.
Accounting for Income Taxes and Uncertain Tax Positions	'
	Accounting for Income Taxes and Uncertain Tax Positions
	The Group accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Group records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
	The Group applies ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The Group has elected to classify interest and/or penalties related to an uncertain position, if and when required, as part of “other operating expenses” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Value-Added Tax ("VAT")	'
	Value-Added Tax (“VAT”)
	In accordance with the relevant tax laws in the PRC, VAT is levied on the invoiced value of sales and is payable by the purchaser. The Group is required to remit the VAT it collects to the tax authority, but may deduct the VAT it has paid on eligible purchases. To the extent the Group paid more than collected, the difference represents a net VAT recoverable balance at the balance sheet date.
Leases	'
	Leases
	Leases are classified at the inception date as either a capital lease or an operating lease. For the lessee, a lease is a capital lease if any of the following conditions exist: a) ownership is transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term; b) there is a bargain purchase option; c) the lease term is at least 75% of the property’s estimated remaining economic life; or d) the present value of the minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term is 90% or more of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at the inception date. A capital lease is accounted for as if there was an acquisition of an asset and an incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases wherein rental payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the periods of their respective leases. Rental expenses were RMB10,270,000, RMB12,787,000 and RMB10,042,000 (US$1,658,820) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The Group had no capital leases during any of the periods stated herein.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share	'
	Net Loss Per Share
	Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing loss attributable to holders of ordinary shares by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per ordinary share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue ordinary shares were exercised or converted into ordinary shares. Ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible bonds are included in the computation of diluted loss per ordinary share on an “if-converted” basis, when the impact is dilutive. Dilutive ordinary equivalent shares consist of ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding share options and restricted stock units. Ordinary share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share if their effects would be anti-dilutive.
Stock Compensation	'
	Stock Compensation
	Stock awards granted to employees and non-employees are accounted for under ASC 718-10, Share-Based Payment, and ASC 505-50, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, respectively.
	In accordance with ASC 718-10, all grants of share options to employees are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant-date fair values. The Group has elected to recognize compensation expense using the straight-line method for all share options granted with service conditions that have a graded vesting schedule.
	ASC 718-10 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates. Share-based compensation expense was recorded net of estimated forfeitures such that expense was recorded only for those share-based awards that are expected to vest.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-05 (“ASU 2013-05”), Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity, which specifies that a cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) should be released into earnings when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a consolidated foreign entity and the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. For sales of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro rata portion of CTA attributable to the investment would be recognized in earnings when the investment is sold. When an entity sells either a part or all of its investment in a consolidated foreign entity, CTA would be recognized in earnings only if the sale results in the parent no longer having a controlling financial interest in the foreign entity. In addition, CTA should be recognized in earnings in a business combination achieved in stages. For public entities, ASU 2013-05 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2013-05 on January 1, 2014 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740) (‘‘ASU 2013-11’’) to provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward exists. ASU 2013-11 requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, with certain exceptions. The modifications to ASC Topic 740 resulting from the issuance of ASU 2013-11 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2013-11 beginning January 1, 2014 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Concentration of Risks	'
	Concentration of Risks
	Concentration of credit risk
	Assets that potentially subject the Group to significant concentration of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, advance to suppliers and long-term prepayments.
	The Group has RMB1,210,529,000 (US$199,965,145) of cash and bank deposits in the PRC, which constitute about 97% of total cash and cash equivalents. Historically, deposits in Chinese banks are secured due to the state policy on protecting depositors’ interests. However, China promulgated a new Bankruptcy Law in August 2006 that came into effect on June 1, 2007, which contains a separate article expressly stating that the State Council promulgates implementation measures for the bankruptcy of Chinese banks based on the Bankruptcy Law when necessary. Under the new Bankruptcy Law, a Chinese bank can go into bankruptcy. In addition, since China’s concession to the World Trade Organization (“WTO”), foreign banks have been gradually permitted to operate in China which has led to increased competition for Chinese banks. Further, the global financial crisis arising in the third quarter of 2008 has increase the risk of bank bankruptcy in the PRC. In the event of bankruptcy, it is uncertain whether the Group will be able to receive its deposits back in full since it is unlikely to be classified as a secured creditor based on PRC laws. The Group mitigates its risk of loss by continuing to monitor the financial strength of the financial institutions in which it makes deposits.
	Advances to suppliers and long-term prepayments are typically unsecured and arise from deposits paid in advance for future purchases of raw materials. As a percentage of total advances to suppliers, including long-term prepayments, the five suppliers with largest advance balance accounted for an aggregate of 79.3% and 74.4% of total advance to suppliers balance as of December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Due to the Group’s concentration of advances made to a limited number of suppliers and the significant prepayments that are made to them, any negative events or deterioration in financial strength with respect to the Group’s suppliers may cause a material loss to the Group and have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition and results of operations (Note 5). The risk with respect to advances made to suppliers is mitigated by credit evaluations that the Group performs on its suppliers prior to making any advances and the ongoing monitoring of its suppliers’ performance.
	With respect to accounts receivable, the Group conducts periodic credit evaluation of its customers but does not require collateral or other security from its customers.
	Concentration of customers
	The Group currently sells a substantial portion of its PV products to a limited number of customers. As a percentage of revenues, the top five customers accounted for an aggregate of 45.0%, 29.8% and 53.5% for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The loss of sales from any of these customers would have a significant negative impact on the Group’s business. Sales to customers are mostly made through non-exclusive, short-term arrangements. Due to the Group’s dependence on a limited number of customers, any negative events with respect to the Group’s customers may cause material fluctuations or declines in the Group’s revenue and have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition and results of operations.
	Concentration of suppliers
	A significant portion of the Group’s raw materials are sourced from its five largest silicon material suppliers who collectively accounted for an aggregate of 40.6%, 72.4% and 76.7% of the Group’s total silicon material purchases for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Failure to develop or maintain relationships with these suppliers may cause the Group to be unable to source adequate raw materials needed to manufacture its PV products. Any disruption in the supply of raw materials to the Group may adversely affect the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Description of product warranty

'Based on the above considerations and managementbs ability and intention to provide repairs, replacements or refunds for defective products, the Group accrues for warranty costs for the 2 to 12-year warranty against technical defects based on 1% of revenue for PV modules. No warranty cost accrual has been recorded for the 10-year or 20 to 25-year warranties for decline from initial power generation capacity because the Group determined the likelihood of claims arising from these warranties to be remote based on internal and external testing of the PV modules and strong quality control procedures in the production process. The basis for the warranty accrual will be reviewed periodically based on actual experience. The Group does not sell extended warranty coverage that is separately priced or optional.
