Lucky
be careful when reading a corporations BS. BP claims to be the largest solar cell producer in North America- not sure that's true if we now count Nanosolar. However, the market leader in solar cell production globally is Sharp- I think. China and Taiwan have ramped up capacity quickly- so the market is fluid. But BP's solar cell production is certainly second tier at best. Note the distinction between solar cells- and solar modules- solar modules are what the cells go in. BP may well be a leader in modules- I don't follow that very closely. But I'd be surprised if it's not a company in Germany, because they have the largest solar installation going at this point- with Japan in second.
