We have tracked the short interest in the following North American Solar companies as of February 28: Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: CSIQ), First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR), GT Advanced Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: GTAT), MEMC Electronic Materials Inc. (NYSE: WFR) and SunPower Corp. (NASDAQ: SPWR). In the Chinese solar sector we tracked the following short interest changes: J.A. Solar Holdings Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: JASO), LDK Solar Co. Inc. (NYSE: LDK), Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd. (NYSE: STP), Trina Solar Ltd. (NYSE: TSL) and Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. Ltd. (NYSE: YGE).

For China-based firms, the percentage of shares short is not available because the companies are also listed on other exchanges.

Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: CSIQ) saw short interest rise 3.5% to 2.14 million shares, which is 7.1% of the company’s total float.

First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR) short interest increased by 6.4% to 17.77 million shares, which represents 29.5% of the company’s float.

GT Advanced Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: GTAT) showed an increase of 8.3% in short interest, to 38.26 million shares, or about 32.2% of GT‘s float.

The short interest in MEMC Electronic Materials Inc. (NYSE: WFR) grew 2.1% to 16.74 million shares, about 7.3% of MEMC‘s float.

SunPower Corp. (NASDAQ: SPWR) saw short interest rise by 11.9% to 9.93 million shares, 25% of the company’s total float.

J.A. Solar Holdings Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: JASO) showed an increase of 15.4% in short interest to 3.36 million shares.

LDK Solar Co. Inc. (NYSE: LDK) saw short interest decline of 19% to 3.55 million shares.

Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd. (NYSE: STP) showed a rise of 4.2% in short interest to 28.46 million shares.

Trina Solar Ltd. (NYSE: TSL) saw short interest rise of 5.6% to 19 million shares.

Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. Ltd. (NYSE: YGE) showed a rise of 5.6% in short interest to 5.67 million shares.

Shares of the Chinese solar stocks continue to be volatile, and share prices are tied to news related to government spending on planned solar installation in China during 2013. First Solar’s weak earnings brought some shorts back. And short interest in SunPower jumped again, likely due to the belief that there is not much good news coming from the firm, which has seen share prices spike in the first few months of the year.

Chinese solar maker Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. Ltd. (NYSE: YGE) reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2012 earnings this morning. Revenues were much better than expected, but earnings remained below estimates. Gross margins came in at -8.5% for the fourth quarter, which was considerably better than the gross margins of -22.7% in the third quarter.

The poor report is rippling through the solar sector today, pulling share prices down for First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR), GT Advanced Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: GTAT) and Applied Materials Inc. (NASDAQ: AMAT). Solar maker SunPower Corp. (NASDAQ: SPWR) fell earlier this morning, but an initiation of the stock with an Outperform rating at Northland Capital has pulled SunPower’s shares up to a small gain. Wafer maker MEMC Electronic Materials Inc. (NYSE: WFR), like SunPower, dived earlier, but has since recovered to post a small gain.

Shares of Yingli are down 4.6% this morning, at $2.29 in a 52-week range of $1.25 to $4.60. Other Chinese solar stocks, like LDK Solar Co. Ltd. (NYSE: LDK), Trina Solar Ltd. (NYSE: TSL), J.A. Solar Holdings Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: JASO) and Suntech Power Holding Co. Ltd. (NYSE: STP), are trading down from about 1.2% to 3.8% following Yingli’s results.

We have tracked the short interest in the following North American Solar companies as of January 31: Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: CSIQ), First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR). G.T. Advanced Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: GTAT), MEMC Electronic Materials Inc. (NYSE: WFR) and SunPower Corp. (NASDAQ: SPWR).

In the Chinese solar sector we tracked the following short interest changes: J.A. Solar Holdings Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: JASO), LDK Solar Co. Inc. (NYSE: LDK), Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd. (NYSE: STP), Trina Solar Ltd. (NYSE: TSL) and Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. Ltd. (NYSE: YGE).

For China-based firms, the percentage of shares short is not available because the companies are also listed on other exchanges.

Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: CSIQ) saw short interest rise 4.5% to 2.04 million shares. That is 6.8% of the company’s total float.

First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR) short interest fall by 3.6% to 18.3 million shares, which represents 30.4% of the company’s float.

GT Advanced Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: GTAT) showed a decrease of 0.1% in short interest to 36.36 million shares, about 30.8% of GT’s float.

MEMC Electronic Materials Inc. (NYSE: WFR) saw a decline of 7.3% in short interest to 16.62 million shares, or about 7.3% of MEMC‘s float.

SunPower Corp. (NASDAQ: SPWR) saw short interest rise by 2.9% to 6.65 million shares, which is 16.7% of the company’s total float.

JA Solar Holdings Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: JASO) showed an increase of 6.4% in short interest to 2.92 million shares.

LDK Solar Co. Inc. (NYSE: LDK) saw short interest drop 23.2% to 4.29 million shares.

Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd. (NYSE: STP) showed a rise of 1.7% in short interest to 25.55 million shares.

Trina Solar Ltd. (NYSE: TSL) saw short interest drop 2.4% to 18.01 million shares.

Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. Ltd. (NYSE: YGE) showed a rise of 11.3% in short interest to 4.75 million shares.

Shares of the Chinese solar stocks have been volatile and mostly tied to news related to government spending on planned solar installation in China during 2013. First Solar and SunPower have lost some of their interest to short sellers as the companies have managed to improve on their installation and operations work. LDK‘s big swing is entirely due to the fact that the government has ridden to its rescue.
