says the 60-something Szpitalak. When they were evaluating where to set up the factory, they considered Germany and Australia before deciding on Taiwan. They chose Taiwan because of its good infrastructure, the maturity of the IC industry here, and the "super-high-value" engineers in related fields, creating the possibility of making the whole solar power industry more competitive. Only if costs fall continually will use become more and more widespread.
年過 60 的泰德表示，當初設廠計畫曾評估過德國、澳洲，最後選擇台灣，是基於台灣基礎建設良好、IC 產業成熟度高，以及「物超所值」的相關工程師，可以讓整個太陽能產業更具競爭力，也唯有成本不斷降低，才能讓使用者更普及。
