Polysilicon producer REC Silicon has surprisingly terminated it supply chain partnership with US PV manufacturing start-up Violet Power, claiming it would best serve its shareholders by focusing on doing business with “established, proven, active and relevant solar supply chain partners”.
REC Silicon claimed that there had been a major change in the political support for solar energy in markets such as Europe and the US, with emphasis on supporting a complete indigenous supply chain within these markets to reduce the significant dependence on imported raw materials through to finished PV modules.
