DuPont To Enhance Solar Capability
DuPont has recently unveiled its plan to establish a research center in Hong Kong and a manufacturing facility in Shenzen to fast track developments in the solar energy field.This new strategy comes in wake of growth expectation of more than 30% in the photovoltaic (PV) market in the coming years.David B. Miller VP ,DuPont expects to enhance production capability of PV modules so as to enable widespread adoption of solar power.He emphasized that the new facilities would cater to the amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film market. Thin film technology is predominantly employed for harvesting solar power on a huge scale using utilities such as "solar farms".DuPont’s plan to step up productions specifically in the thin film segment further emphasize its bullish outlook in the solar energy,PV sector.DuPont is a science-based products and services company founded in 1802, and currently having operations in more than 70 countries.

well this development could be a big boon to the energy sector, more so after the biodiesel controversy.
there’s a need for creating more such ground breaking technologies.
Thanks for highlighting this achievement
