BP Solar Closes Thin Film Operations [RE-wrenches]

[Bill Brooks]

Joel,

"What a wonderful world this could be...." Ironic isn't it. The good news is
that any money they extorted out of those lawsuits they lost in their a-Si
manufacturing venture when they couldn't make it work. Maybe that's what
just desserts are... I guess sueing wasn't the path to big profits.

Bill.

Some of you may remember that Solarex sued APS (former owner of the
Fairfield, CA building that BP now occupies) and sued Siemens Solar and sued
Utility Power Group (Mike Stern's amorphous PV company) for infringing on an
old RCA amorphous silicon PV patent that Solarex had licensed. Solarex won
the law suit, forced those three companies to shut down their aSi operations
and then started pushing Millennium Modules thanks to the $0.75/W subsidy
that Virginia gave to them.
