Really looks like China is beating everyone in the solar industry. I wonder if the fact that Natcore is government-supported can lead to a chinese law or order to adopt the AR-Box ASAP for any Chinese solar cell makers?


Some reading:

Here is an article about Silex Solar, in Australia, that is stopping manufacturing solar cells :

Workers at Australia’s only commercial solar cell maker, the Silex plant at Homebush in Sydney, were told yesterday that cell production would be outsourced to China.



Another one that take the Chinese seriously when it comes to lower the cost of solar:

The position of most of the JCPC lawmakers will be to wait for the time when the cost of solar will go down dramatically so the consumers will not be unduly burdened with exorbitant FIT which would be locked up for 20 years.

It came directly from the words of affiliated companies of the Philippine Solar Power Alliance (PSPA) that with China and Japan “sucking up the solar market,” the cost for the technology may decline drastically in the next few years.
