Kinmac Solar (renamed from Lucky Power Technology), a Taiwan-based maker of BIPV (building-integrated photovoltaic) modules, has decided to establish a joint-venture assembly plant for making PV modules with Jinzhou Yangguang Energy, a maker of solar-grade monocrystalline silicon ingots/wafers in northeastern China.
Kinmac said the joint venture will have initial capital of 90 million yuan (US$13.2 million). Kinmac said it will hold a 49% stake in the joint venture, and Jinzhou Yangguang the rest.
The joint venture will set up an initial annual PV module production capacity of 100MWp in 2009 and then add 100-300MWp annually over the next three years, Kinmac said.
Kinmac said it also plans to expand it BIPV module capacity in northern Taiwan in July 2009 from 30MWp currently to 60MWp.

Canadian Solar Announces Delivery of BIPV Modules for 2008 Olympics
JIANGSU, China, June 11 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Canadian Solar Inc. ('the Company', 'CSI' or 'we') (Nasdaq: CSIQ) today announced it has completed the delivery of 66 KW of BIPV modules for the lamp posts along the Olympic Boulevard from the 'Bird's Nest', the main stadium for the 2008 Olympic Games, to the Olympic Square. This BIPV project sits right on the axis of Beijing, symbolizing the nation's increasing commitment to sustainable development. Over its 25-year operating lifespan, this solar power system, with modules horizontally placed for aesthetic purpose, will still generate more than 1,925,000 Kilowatt hours and reduce CO2 emissions by more than 2750 tons.
Dr. Shawn Qu, Chairman and CEO of Canadian Solar Inc. commented: 'We are very pleased to have won this prestigious contract and be a part of the 2008 Olympics. BIPV directly applies solar technology to architecture, which is a fast growing area of solar applications. Given CSI's years of experience in specialty solar modules and customized solar system design, we are ready to bring our expertise to many other future BIPV projects. China is on its way towards becoming a major solar market, and this contract will help us improve our already strong foot hold in the market.'
China instituted its 'Renewable Energy Law' in 2006, making it mandatory for the State Electric Grid to connect to solar power and pay favorable feed-in tariffs. The execution procedure for this law, however, has yet to be released. Additionally, in August 2007, China's National Development & Reform Commission (NDRC) published its national development strategy for renewable energy. According to this strategy, China targets to install 300 MW cumulative solar generation capacity by 2010 and 1.8 GW by 2020.
