SunTech__3_x900

Suntech Power is the world’s largest maker of solar cells and panels. It reached this position through a combination of clever advances in manufacturing equipment with judicious use of cheap labor. Silicon wafers are exposed to phosphorous in a hot furnace and then cleaned using a special technique developed by Suntech. These steps allow the wafers to convert light into electricity.
