Talk:List of photovoltaics companies

message: Hello.  One and a half years on from my previous request, I would like to request once again that a link to ENF (www.enf.cn) be added to the main page.  We now have over 5,000 PV companies listed in our PV industry directory, and it is highly relevant to people searching for photovoltaic companies.  I would highly appreciate an appropriate link.

replies: text: Oldboltonian, I think this sort of Table, and discussion of the value chain, should be the basis of a new article entitled Photovoltaics commercialization. If you start the article, I would be happy to help with it. -- Johnfos 21:49, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Repeat request for ENF Link 

message: There is a much bigger list of hundreds of PV module and cell manufacturers to be found at www.enf.cn.  I had some posts removed by someone who objected to me putting up a number of ENF links - so I would like to request that someone check the following links, and if they find them to be a valuable addition to the article, to please add them to the main article.
*Directory of Solar Cell Manufacturers
*Directory of Photovoltaic Panel Manufacturers

thread_title:  Business-side info 

message: I suggest also create a list by country, mainly about China, USA and Germany, because there is more and more producers of PV cells. I.e. in China thin-film manufacturers that have already started producing product, the list and specifications would include:
 
*Amplesun Solar, production equipment provider Ulvac Inc,  a-Si single 
*Astronergy Solar,  Oerlikon, a-Si/μc-Si 
*Best Solar, Applied Materials,  a-Si/μ-Si [ ]
*ENN Solar,  Applied Materials, a-Si 
*QS Solar,  a-Si double 
*Tianwei SolarFilms,  Oerlikon,  a-Si single 
*Trony Solar, self developed, a-Si double

message: The list cannot be right: REC produced 542 MW in 2008 .   Langbein Rise (talk) 08:15, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The link you supplied talks about silicon wafer production, not solar cell production -- they don't even make cells in Glomfjord and Herøya, the two manufacturing sites listed on the page you referenced. Most of their wafers were sold to other companies to be processed into solar cells. REC estimates that its customers should be able to produce a certain number of watts per wafer and multiplies by the number of wafers produced to arrive at a MW figure for the number of wafers produced. REC's own production of solar cells in 2008 was 135 MW -- or at least that's what REC reported to Photon International (the trade publication referred to in the article) for its market survey last year.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Squirmymcphee (talk • contribs) 21:00, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

message: They claim they will be opening a line in Q1/11 with production samples Q2, but we've heard that before. All their existing production is in China. Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:22, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
