Everybody knows that China is on its way to become a superpower in many aspects; as concerns product manufacturing, there is no doubt that the Asian country has already become so. Nowadays, the "Made in China" label can be seen on virtually any item, which can be explained by putting together a country with over 1 billion people, good university education, easy access to technology and production costs well below those of westnern countries. Indeed the competitiveness of Chinese production seems to be unbeatable.
"China is becoming the world's manufacturing plant, and the solar market is not an exception to this" says Edwin Koot, President of SolarPlaza. "Besides, the production capacity and quality of the Chinese is more than proven, so we can expect to see European and American markets flooded with Chinese solar products soon", adds Koot.
“This contract heralds Applied’s entry into the delivery of full production lines to solar customers — and signals a critical milestone for the solar industry in the drive to reduce the cost of solar cells by using larger substrates,” said Mark Pinto, Senior VicePresident and General Manager of Applied’s New Business and New Products Group.
"Buyers only need to fill in a form or send us an email with their capacity requirements, type of module and range of prices required, and we will help them find what they are looking for. There are more than 100 manufacturers in China and all of them are within our reach". With investors coming from all over the world, developers popping up anywhere in some European countries and even producers from China made available to everybody by a Dutch company, it increasingly seems that the PV market is becoming a global phenomenon.
