Are the Chinese set to eclipse the US on solar power?
A Suntech Solar installation in ManitobaWhen it comes to high efficiency crystalline silicon solar cells SunPower is about as good as it gets, but according to Greentech, Suntech's monocrystalline Pluto cells are catching up, and could soon even catch SunPower.
Now, I'm not calling Suntech the next big green investment; however, Suntech does have me wondering if US labor costs can compete with the labor costs China will be able to bring to the solar power space.
Certainly, US solar companies are years away from such worries. Nonetheless, green jobs are being purported to be the next big thing for skilled, high wage jobs in the US, but is that feasible in the long term?

The picture above is of the Kanazawa Municipal Bus Terminal—not of a solar installation in Manitoba. It utilizes Suntech's See Thru PV glazing product.
