www.QualityStocks.Net would like to highlight Solar EnerTech Corp. (OTCBB: SOEN). The company is a photovoltaic ("PV") solar energy cell manufacturing enterprise based in Shanghai, China, where the Company has established a sophisticated 63,000 square foot manufacturing plant in Shanghai's Jinqiao Modern Technology Park. Currently, the Company is capable of producing 25MW of solar cells from its existing production line and the Company is in the process of completing its second 25MW production line to better utilize capacity and meet expected future customer demand.

 

In the company’s recent news,

 

Solar EnerTech Corp (OTCBB: SOEN) announced an equity purchase agreement with 21-Century Silicon, Inc, a privately-held Dallas-based polysilicon manufacturer. The company bought two million common stock shares for $1 million, with a provision to buy two million more if the first polysilicon that 21-Century ships meets quality specifications of the Shanghai-based Solar EnerTech. The first material polysilicon shipment is expected in the spring of 2009.
