Mr.CEO

San Jose, April 18, 2011


Dear Mr. CEO: On April 8, 2011, your company has an announcement about the investment of 600 million to build the largest Solar Panel factory. I am so happy and enthusiastically support that conclusion in which it brings the real American dream comes true. When we all can begin reduce emission carbon, have a better living environment with greener, renewable energy, to be independent in energy and limit imported oil from foreign. This is also a key for the national security and a bright future for our next generations to come. This is an appropriate solution within the current government policy that you are one of vanguards to be leadership role in this industry. I would like to express my idea that could bring the cost of the Solar system to lowest price and competitive price in the World market. My dream is that every American home could afford to have one. At currently the cost of solar energy is still higher than conventional sources like coal, nuclear power and oil. Everyone must understand that China is now to lead in solar biggest manufacturing, surpass Europe and America, but they will face the inflation soon in the future, both at commodities and labor costs. Soon or later the products from China will increase their prices. I would consider building a solar manufacturing plant in Viet Nam is most suitable place. The main things of the solar system costs come from complexes regulations, raw materials as silicon dioxide, land resource, and manufacturing processing. The other would be a volume of production. Viet Nam will meet all of these demands. They have fewer regulations, and upon the recent call from Viet Nam Government to support developing solar industry. They have profuse raw material mines as silica (silicon dioxide); they have cheap land to build plant; they have decent weather; and they have cheaper manpower resources but hard working labor force. To build a photovoltaic crystalline cell plant in Viet Nam is the best option for now. We can have massive production of cells in Viet Nam Plant. We then will ship back by navigation to American shore for final panel assembly and quality control before we complete solar system. We know thin film-cell is going to take advantage in the lower cost than silicon for now, but the PV crystalline is still the one with the highest efficiency in converting sunlight into electricity. If we can take this cost down than the industry will be remarkably successful, it usually occurs when the demand is high then the price is up but in the opposite of the solar industry, when the demand is high then the costs will be reduced, and the profit will rise. We will have an increase the market share capacity expansion and we also will increase the massive production of volume. At the same time, we can bring its cost to it level as 65 cent per watt as low as conventional electricity sources. I am sure the demand will increase rapidly in response to cheaper prices is to start showing its face. The question is who would not love to have a solar system for your home, businesses, companies that save the costs of electricity for 15-30 years long. Thank you for taking the time to considering my thought. Best Regards, Kenenth Phan
