IBC Solar opens subsidiary in China

IBC Solar expanded its international business with new subsidiaries, including one in Beijing, China.

"The recent tragic events in Japan have fuelled the demand for a safe and sustainable energy supply", said Udo Möhrstedt, founder and CEO of IBC Solar in Beijing. "We have contributed significantly to the development of renewable energies in Germany and have gained substantial experience over the past years. We are pleased to advise the China BIPV Committee on the creation of a sustainable energy and compensation concept. By expanding photovoltaics in China, the huge energy demand of the growing Chinese economy can be covered in the future - with safe and environmentally friendly energy." 

Vice Minister of construction, Yao Bing commented that the cooperation agreement between IBC Solar and the China BIPV Committee helps support the field training and certification for PV installers in China. He maintained that as 40% of electricity is used by buildings, BIPV applications would help buildings in Beijing generate more power than they consume.
