Solar power products factory opens on Kinmen

KINMEN, Taiwan -- A Taipei-based solar power kits maker inaugurated a manufacturing plant on Kinmen yesterday, becoming the first high-tech Taiwan company to set up a factory on one of the country’s outlying islands.

The formal opening of the SolarGate Technology Corp. factory in Kinsha township was attended by several Kinmen County officials, including county council Deputy Speaker Hsu Yu chao and county Director of Development Lee Tzeng-tsai. SolarGate Chairman Chuang Chin-pei said the company plans to use Kinmen, located closer to southeastern China than to Taiwan, as a springboard to the massive Chinese market.

SolarGate hopes to develop Kinmen into Taiwan’s first “solar power model island,” Chuang added.

SolarGate provides international trading services for solar power products and systems, including solar cells and solar glass. The Kinmen factory will handle manufacturing and development, with raw material to be supplied by Taiwan proper.
