To introduce a number of polysilicon, wafersupportingprojects, such ashighpurityquartzpowder projects, cuttingfluid, silicon carbide, cutting line, band saw into the zone.
Zaman notes that Japan accounts for 2 GW of expected 2011 demand, over 19, 000 metric tons of polysilicon capacity, 650 MW of wafer capacity, 2.2 GW of cell capacity and 2.5 GW of module capacity.
Over the past six months, the decline in polysilicon prices has eclipsed similar price reductions across the solar-power supply chain including a 23% reduction in wafer prices and 6.5% for modules.
