应对美国市场政策门槛的无奈之举 来源：市场资讯 （来源：预见能源） 当美国工厂的补贴收入化为财报上亮眼的数字，阿特斯却选择将控股权拱手相让，背后是一场全球光伏 企业共同的生存博弈。 12月1日，阿特斯宣发布公告，称拟对美国市场的业务进行调整，公司与控股股东CSIQ新设立两家合资 公司。根据方案，阿特斯在合资公司中的持股比例将降至24.9%，其在美国的光伏和储能工厂将转由新 公司运营。 这一比例恰好满足美国《大而美法案》中关于持股比例低于25%的合规要求。 面对美国市场日益抬高的准入壁垒，阿特斯此次业务重组首先是为了满足美国《大而美法案》及《通胀 削减法案》的合规要求。 这些法案对获得政府补贴设置了严格条件，核心限制之一是，如果一家企业被认定为"受外国影响的实 体"，例如来自特定国家的单一实体持股达到或超过25%，则将无法获得税收抵免。 美国市场对阿特斯至关重要。公司2025年上半年财报显示，上半年实现营收210.52亿，同比下降 4.13%；归母净利润7.31亿，同比下降41.01%。上半年境内业务毛利率处于承压状态，在这样的经营数 据下，境外营收成为主要利润来源。今年第二季度公司出货北美his场组件约2.8 ...
