CHINA FOCUSES ON SOLAR ENERGY
Friday, April 07, 2006 - FreeMarketNews.com

It looks like China is set to become a contender in another aspect of global economics – the development of alternate energy sources. China’s strategy brings to the forefront its domestic strengths of centralized, focused effort, attention to raw material supply, and cheap labor.

In a posting on renewableenergyaccess.com Jesse Pichel, Senior Research Analyst for Piper Jaffrey addresses Beijing’s drive to develop a world-class business model in this sector, noting: “Chinese manufacturing lines tend to be more labor intensive and use more domestic equipment, requiring substantially lower capital expenditure. In particular, the Chinese module lines we toured do not run automated assembly equipment and instead favor an all-labor approach; the only equipment required are laminators and module testers."

“Several Chinese solar companies, in anticipation of a future capital market transaction, have been stockpiling poly to the order of hundreds of metric tons. Additionally, we toured a major wafer reclaim facility that uses low-cost labor to sort and recycle broken/ rejected wafers from the semiconductor and solar industry.” - DS
