dmssln,

This article speaks of solid waste from wafer production:

From another article: One 64-year-old villager told the Associated Press that the factory - located close to a school and kindergarten - discharges waste into the river and spews dense smoke out of a dozen chimneys.
The dense smoke may have something to do with the CVD furnaces and probably contains silane.

Do anyone knows if the cause of the toxic waste disaster that seems to hit Jinko is linked to the CVD furnace?


Good news here for those of us invested in pv:

Solar thermal, at least in the U.S., is approaching a tipping point that recalls the defeat of Sony Corp.’s Betamax format to the rival VHS in the videotape war of the 1980s, said Lee Clements, a fund manager at Impax Asset Management Ltd.
