EMCORE's Chinese concentrating photovoltaic JV starts production

Suncore was founded in July 2010, and broke ground to start construction of the current facility in February 2011. The current production facility in Huainan is the first phase of its three-phase construction and business growth plan. Now with Phase I having been completed, Suncore has an annual production capacity of 200MW CPV modules using an automated production line.

Suncore has begun production against its 50MW purchase order for an installation in Golmud, China.

"Given the current macroeconomic environment for photovoltaics, we believe China is emerging as the most promising market for CPV solar power in the world," said Christopher Larocca, chief operating officer of EMCORE. "Suncore's initial 50MW purchase order is a testament to the demand for CPV in China, and we firmly believe that Suncore's cost model will allow Suncore to aggressively compete in the photovoltaic market there and around the world."
