Solar business from Korea

GCL-Poly has announced 2009 financial results and detailed a major effort to diversify operations and move downstream into wafer and solar project development and GCL-Poly have complete new Polysilicon factory 15,000MT reached  total capacity 18,000MT/year  and will be expand 21,000MT by Dec. 2010    this is no 1 capacity of Polysilicon producers in China GCL-Poly expect wafer sales to contribute a majority of our revenues starting in 2010 who have started constructing in-house wafer and ingot manufacturing facilities and we target to ramp up wafer production capacity to 2 GW by end of 2010 with a production volume of 1.3 GW in 2010 Revenue from the sale of polysilicon and wafers amounted to RMB 2,537.1 million (US$371.6 million) and and RMB 262.3 million (US$38.4 million respectively) Results Highlights:  Revenue increased by 23.7% to RMB4,355.6 million in 2009 from RMB3,521.4 million in 2008  Results affected by exceptional expense items inc...

OCI or DC Chemicals in Korea, who is major manufacturer of Polysilicon in Korea has  announced  financial results for its 2009 fourth quarter and fiscal year 2009 which ended Dec. 31, 2009 OCI has produce also organic and inorganic chemicals  Total revenue is 2,101.8 billion KRW(about 1,751.5 million USD exchange rate is 1,200KRW/1USD) revenue of polysilicon 803.1billion KRW(about 669.25 million USD) in 2009 OCI is also re-start construction of No 3 polysilicon production plant 10,000MT/year will be complete Dec. this year  about 2010 business for polysilicon, OCI has expect more over capacity of poly silicon in Worldwide  because major and new producers of polysilicon has expand his production capacity therefore he will be concentrated for high quality and high purity polysilicon for high eff. cell   

A fully integrated 1.2GW solar plant is to be built in the Omsk region in Western Siberia, Russia at an estimated cost of €1.6 billion (approx US$2.4 billion), which will include a 10,000MT monosilane/polysilicon plant as well as c-Si solar cell and module production plants. Russian company Silarus, a 100% subsidiary of Titan, a major chemicals company, will own and operate the new business. Lead project and technology partners for the project are Gebrüder Schmid and Schmid Silicon Technology (SST). EPC Engineering Consulting will also collaborate on the project. SST is currently building a proof of concept monosilane/polysilicon pilot plant near Dresden, Germany. The company will transfer the technology and know-how to silicon metal producer Silarus, according to Frank Tinnefeld, Director of Sales and New Business sectors at Schmid Group, in an interview with PV-Tech. Tinnefeld also noted that the formal contracts would be signed in the first quarter of 2010 and the plant built in pha...
