Fujiwara considers Vietnam solar panel assembly joint venture

• Vietnamese island gears up for first solar bus
• Solar energy pin factory built in Bac Giang
• Facebook's solar-powered drone under investigation after 'accident'

Fujiwara’s strategy for Vietnam includes solar panel manufacturing, said President Osamu Kimura of Fujiwara in an interview in Hanoi.

To build a large-scale manufacturing plant to obtain efficiency and economics of scale equal to that of others in the industry will require much government support, said Kimura, so there is much to evaluate.

Vietnam could also play a role in the manufacture of power-storage solutions, he noted, but no final decision has been made.

Fujiwara is one of the premiere clean energy manufacturers in Japan having been an industry leader for more than six decades.

Presently, a contingent of personnel from the Japanese company, are in the province of Binh Dinh gathering more information needed to fully evaluate the venture.
