China Solar Power (CSP), a manufacturer of thin-film amorphous silicon photovoltaic solar modules, has signed an investment agreement with Suzhou Industrial Park for its third solar manufacturing facility in China.
CSP plans to invest up to $180 million to build an a-Si photovoltaic solar module facility and several advanced technology centers. CSP's CEO, Frank Liu, expects the production base to realize a capacity of 200 MW.
CSP's first thin-film PV manufacturing plant, located in the city of Yantai, Shandong province in northern China, commenced commercial operations in October 2009. CSP says it will became the first thin-film solar company at Suzhou Industrial Park.
