PV modules made in the shadow of the Rockies

摘要

Last May, Mark Little, General Electric's Global Research Director, said that in five years he sees solar power as being cheaper than fossil fuels. The US-based international company with huge energy and infrastructure divisions starts a new engagement in PV panel production with the building of a 400 MW CdTe module manufacturing plant in Colorado. After completion later this year, the facility will be the biggest thin-film PV fab in the country. The empty warehouse just off Interstate 70 in Aurora, CO, doesn't look like much at present.
