Polysilicon Production
- Internal polysilicon production cost decreased to approximately $23.50/kg in Q4 2012, from $23.57/kg in Q3 2012
- Internal polysilicon production was approximately 327 MT in Q4 2012, a decrease from approximately 1,175.7 MT in Q3 2012
- Internal polysilicon production decreased as a result of the temporary halt of polysilicon production at the end of October 2012 to upgrade facilities and equipment, as well as to integrate Phase II with Phase I
- Have now begun trial production for the newly integrated polysilicon plant
- Polysilicon capacity is currently 10,000 MT
- The target cost for both phases combined is $18/kg by the end of Q2 2013

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“From the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
—Charles Darwin (1809–1882)
