Chinese solar cell manufacturer, Suntech Power has entered into a solar module supply contract with Atersa, a subsidiary of Elecnor Group, one of Spain's leading project planning and integrated management and infrastructure development companies.

In one of its largest and most sophisticated projects to date, Suntech will supply solar modules with an aggregate output of 23.2MW to Atersa for installation in the Photovoltaic Grid Connection Park in the Extremadura region of Spain. It is expected that these solar modules will be supplied within the first half of 2007.

''Atersa has broad experience in energy integration products and we are pleased to be able to work with them to build this Photovoltaic Park,'' said Dr. Zhengrong Shi, Suntech's Chairman and CEO. ''With Spain's recently enacted feed-in-tariffs and a climate favorable to solar energy production we expect that Spanish demand for solar products will grow rapidly in coming years. Suntech aims to be a long term provider of quality PV products in Spain and this project is a critical part of that effort.''

''After a careful evaluation of potential partners and suppliers for this landmark Photovoltaic Grid Connection Park, we chose Suntech as we were highly satisfied with the value and quality of their product,'' said Mr. Virgilio Navarro, Atersa's CEO. ''We look forward to working closely with Suntech as part of this project.''

1. While we manufacture bullets, China is busy building their future.

There's a catchy phrase on the home page of the manufacturer-

The sun delivers more energy to the earth in an hour than the world could use in an entire year.

Of course, they don't say what would happen if you were to harness all of that energy. Haha. Plants wouldn't go into photosynthesis. Ocean currents would be altered. All kinds of bad stuff would happen.


It's just garden variety silicon photovoltaics. Nothing special.

Sorry to rag on our country. I just don't see the government extending a hand in a vigorous way to promote alternative energy. Oil is just too darned easy. Just steal it.
