As the worldwide demand for electricity increases and the historical reliance on fossil fuels is being challenged by increasing environmental awareness, the focus has turned to renewable energy sources. As a reliable and versatile form of renewable energy, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are expected to become a dominant energy source. According to market research, PV is expected to account for over 50% of the world's total electricity generated by renewable energy sources by 2070.
LDK Solar is a pure-play manufacturer dedicated solely to the design, development, manufacturing and distribution of multicrystalline solar wafers. Wafers are the principal raw material used to produce solar cells, which are devices capable of converting sunlight into electricity. Our manufacturing process is based on proprietary production processes utilizing both virgin and recyclable polysilicon for ingot production. Through this proprietary process, we are able to offer our global solar cell and module manufacturer customers considerable cost advantages while maintaining quality and performance. We also provide wafering services to both multicrystalline and monocrystalline solar cell and module manufacturers.
We made our first commercial shipment of solar wafers in April 2006 and have quickly become one of the leading manufacturers in the industry, with our annual production capacity expected to increase to 400 megawatts, or MW by the end of 2007 from 215 MW as of March 31, 2007.
Our headquarters and our large scale, state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities are located in Hi-Tech Industrial Park, Xinyu city, Jiangxi province in the People's Republic of China. |
