Will LDK's New Company Create Competition for First Solar?

Mark,

Why do you think "competition is going to be brutal" ? In "commodity" industries, tiny advantages are the only differences and competition is fierce. However, in the solar power business, technological differences create major differences in product characteristics, and will allow many different players to prosper for the forseeable future.

OatLeaksBeans, I think your guess is correct. China is a sufficient customer to keep *any* business busy, never mind a clean energy business! And China has huge expanses of undeveloped high-insolation land: perfect for giant solar photovoltaic arrays.
