MEMC Makes Another Good Solar Acquisition
static.seekingalpha.com

On May 24, 2010, WFR announced a definitive agreement with Santa Clara, California based Solaicx, a privately held manufacturer of low-cost, high-quality silicon ingots.

The acquisition is a positive move as Solaicx’s innovative and advanced manufacturing technology will enable WFR to reduce costs and improve efficiency. Particularly so since the other solar acquisitions in recent times have shown results on its margins.

Last year, the company acquired solar fab developer SunEdison for $200 million and followed it up with a solar financing outfit called Tioga Energy. The Solaicx acquisition is further evidence of the fact that WFR is very serious about its solar strategy.
