EMCORE Corp. has received a purchase order to supply 5.7 MW of its concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) systems for alternative energy projects in South Korea, along with a letter of intent for follow-on projects of 14.3 MW, expected to be released within the next six months.
EMCORE also signed an agreement with DI Semicon, a semiconductor packaging company in Seoul, regarding the formation of a joint venture among DI Semicon, EMCORE and other parties. This joint venture, when fully established and operational, will manufacture CPV systems in Korea for EMCORE.
‘We are very pleased to work with DI Semicon in this opportunity to establish CPV as a utility-scale terrestrial power technology in Korea,’ comments Earl Fuller, vice president and general manager of EMCORE's solar power division.
