Uni-Solar公司将临时停产

Uni-Solar公司，目前最大的太阳能板制造商之一，已被迫暂时关闭其在奥本山和格林维尔的工厂，并推迟其在密歇根州工厂的扩容计划。专家指出，目前的经济状况及市场疲软，将使格林维尔工厂关闭4周，于6月17号重新开工。奥本山工厂的状况将持续3周，于6月7号恢复。

公司的一个大客户，太阳能集成技术公司正在经历财务上的困难，在刚结束了一个增加2500万美元信贷额度的谈判之后，它们在继续寻找屋顶太阳能系统的潜在买家。

United Solar Ovonic (Uni-Solar), a whollyowned subsidiary of Energy Conversion Devices and one of the largest manufacturers of flexible solar laminate products, has been forced to temporarily shut down its Michigan production operations in Auburn Hills and Greenville, while also delaying the planned ramp at its second facility in Greenville. The s-Si thin-film specialist cited the economic conditions and weak demand for the shutdowns, which will last 4 weeks at Greenville through to June 17 and  3 weeks at Auburn Hills, which will reopen June 7.

Energy Conversion Devices had also responded earlier this week to news that a major end-user of its solar laminates, Solar Integrated Technologies, was having financial problems after ending talks for a US$25 million line of credit and had retained Thomas Weisel Partners to look for potential buyers of the roofing specialist.

The company had previously implemented a two-week production hiatus that began on March 22, making this the second time production has been halted to reduce inventory and preserve cash in the current economic climate.
