Evolution Solar Announces New President of Asian Operations
GILBERT, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evolution Solar Corp (OTC:EVSO) announced it has retained Michael Franklin to its newly created position of President of Asian Operations.
“I consider Mr. Franklin’s qualifications to be key for sourcing and contractual negotiations in the Asian Markets,” stated Robert Kaapke, CEO of Evolution Solar. “Michael’s associative resources, located in almost every major city in China, tips the balance of supply and demand in our favor.”
Michael Franklin is the USA consultant for Impact Hong Kong, Asia's largest production company. With a staff and offices in Xiamen, China and associates in every major city in China, he currently sources products for AMD (NYSE:AMD), USSSA (Sporting goods) and Home Depot (NYSE:HD).
“The historical growth within the solar industry is creating a huge demand on suppliers and manufactures in the market,” stated Robert Kaapke, CEO of Evolution Solar.
Some think the U.S. could be generating 10% of its electricity from the sun within 10-15 years, and Scientific American published a scheme last year for drawing almost 70% of our power using solar by 2050. Merrill Lynch's Mark Heller noted that solar startups raised more money in 2007-8 than Internet stocks did in their 1998 heyday.
Mr. Michael Franklin has thrived in the Asian market for over 10 years, working in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan Philippines and Japan as a contracts negotiator, purchasing agent and consultant for several large US companies opening the Chinese markets. Mr Franklin works directly with the regional Chinese governments of Chongqing, Wuhan, Naning, Tianjin, Beijing, Suzhou, Wuxi, Qingdao, Dalian and others.
Evolution Solar is a vertically integrated company, which intends to manufacture high-efficiency cells and run an instillation unit, as does SunPower (NASDAQ:SPWR). JA Solar Holdings Co. (NASDAQ:JASO) announced recently that Elmer Hsu would replace Kang Sun as chief operating officer on Aug. 1, 2008.

Evolution Solar to Acquire Hong Kong-Based R&D Company
GILBERT, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evolution Solar Corp. (OTC:EVSO) signed a Letter of Intent to acquire a Hong Kong based R&D and Procurement Company. Evolution Solar most recently announced its plans to develop alternative energy technologies using thin film solar panels.
“The process of purchasing of the Hong Kong-based R&D Company is tracking well,” stated Robert Kaapke, CEO of Evolution Solar. “We believe better engineering and technological innovations are the keys to delivering increasingly cost effective solar panels.”
Evolution Solar is planning to establish a footprint with the manufacturing capabilities in the Asian markets that can assist in the reduction in the manufacturing and procurement of materials in the heavy technology manufacturing providence of Shanghai, China.
China, which passed a landmark renewable energy law in January 2007, has pledged to spend some $200 billion over the next 15 years on renewable energy. The goal: Achieve 20 percent total energy consumption from green fuel sources.
China's interest in renewables has translated into a rapidly expanding base of at least a dozen publicly held domestic solar energy and wind energy concerns, among them: Solarfun Power Holdings (NASDAQ:SOLF) and JA Solar Holdings (NASDAQ:JASO).
Having captured a good portion of the wind market, General Electric Co’s (NYSE:GE) energy division, GE Energy, has announced its entry into the solar market with GAF Materials Corp. GAF is North America's largest manufacturer of residential and commercial roofing, with more than 12,000 contractors.
Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) projects that by 2030, global energy demand will be 40 percent higher than in 2005. In developing countries such as those in Asia-Pacific, per capita energy use is expected to soar by 70 percent by 2030.
