Merrimack, NH, USA:Chinese Manufacturer, LDK Solar Starts Solar Wafer Production
GT Solar Technologies has completed the first phase of a turnkey solar
manufacturing line for LDK Solar in China, which has just started production of solar
wafers in what today's announcement says will eventually be a one Gigawatt manufacturing line.
GT Solar Technologies was instrumental in the design and layout of the LDK factory in Jiangxi
Province, China, as well as the manufacture and installation of the equipment that LDK is using in
its Phase One, 75 megawatt manufacturing line.
LDK will ramp up that line to 200 megawatts by the end of 2006 and to 400
megawatts by the end of 2007. LDK's ultimate plan calls for growth to a one gigawatt
manufacturing line, which would make it one of the world's largest manufacturers of solar wafers.
GT's Project Manager for the LDK facility, Charles Hagopian, said: "GT was involved from the very
beginning with LDK Solar in the design of its factory, the installation of GT's equipment, and the
training of LDK's employees. We are excited to see this factory begin to produce solar wafers,
and we look forward to continue working with LDK in its planned expansion of the manufacturing
line over the next several years."
LDK President, Mr. Light DK Peng, said: "Our relationship with GT Solar Technologies is a good
example of how two companies in different parts of the world can work together effectively to
create a quality solar manufacturing line and factory in a relatively short period of time."
LDK Solar Hi-Tech Co., Ltd. located in Xinyu City, Jiangxi Province, China, focuses on the research
and manufacture of silicon solar wafers and aims to become a world-class supplier of high quality
multi-crystalline solar wafers. |
