Evolution Solar Completes Build Out Of Second Chinese Office
The company is convinced that China is the place to be.
Evolution Solar,a solar start up, located in Tempe Arizona, has finished construction of its second Chinese office. The new office is situated in The Golden Sheraton Towers in the port city of Xieman in Fujian Province China.
"We chose this particular location due to its proximity to the factories that will be responsible for the production of Evolution Solar's panels and related solar products," explained Michael Franklin, director of Asian operations. Mr Franklin added "another important consideration for this location was to keep a close eye on efficiency, quality control, and shipping issues."
"As we move forward in our quest to produce high quality solar panels, we are more convinced than ever that China is the place to be," stated Robert Kaapke, CEO of Evolution Solar Corp. Intel Capital, the investment arm of computer chip giant Intel, announced yesterday that it made its first cleantech investment in China that included a $20 million deal for Trony Solar Holdings.
Mr. Franklin recently returned to the US after four months of strategic meetings with numerous component factories, silicon suppliers, and shippers. Important meetings also took place with Dr. Ma Xin in a collaboration to develop future products. Dr. Ma Xin is considered to be one of the more important innovators in China's solar energy and thin film movement.
Solar stocks continue to move higher on the news of First Solar, reporting its 3rd quarter revenues and net income doubled.
