COVERSTORY
China is a strong contender to become a model for the global
solar energy market, with the recent rapid paced growth in
the photovoltaic market, and The Linde Group is excited to be
a part of this dynamic evolution of the renewable energy landscape
of reducing cost per watt of solar cell production Tianwei’s new thin film solar production facility
and bringing the cost of solar electricity to grid in Baoding worth over RMB 1.2 billion (about
parity.” USD180 million) will go online in the first
quarter of 2009.
The first phase of the ENN Solar plant in Langfang Hangzhou Amplesun Solar Technology is a

Linde has established a leading position in gas
supply to thin film silicon solar module
manufacturers with the company having so
far won more than 50 percent of available industry
projects. In Crystalline Silicon the company has
also developed a strong position with more
than 30 percent market share globally. Linde
has also developed a leading position in key
regional markets such as Germany, Spain,
Italy and India.
