First Solar kauft einen Hersteller hoch effizienter Sillizium-Zellen, insbesondere, um für den japanischen Markt zu produzieren!
The company agreed to buy TetraSun, a startup developing high-efficiency solar panels for small rooftop systems, according to a statement today. First Solar plans to produce and market TetraSun products in Japan, Chief Executive Officer Jim Hughes said at an analyst meeting. Terms weren’t disclosed.
The deal fills a gap for First Solar, which doesn’t market its panels for rooftop solar systems. It also gives the Tempe, Arizona-based company access to Japan, which is expected to become the second-largest market this year. The deal is a significant departure for First Solar, the biggest producer of thin-film solar panels, because TetraSun’s technology uses silicon.
