Last
year
Germany’s
SolarWorld
announced
it
had
established
the
joint
venture
–
Qatar
Solar
Technologies
–
in
order
to
secure
its
own
polysilicon
supply
and
tap
the
emerging
Middle
Eastern
and
South
Asian
PV
markets.
SolarWorld
holds
a
29%
stake
in
the
venture,
which
also
includes
the
Qatar
Development
Bank
and
Qatar
Solar.
The
companies
have
now
issued
an
update
on
the
project,
saying
the
initial
output
will
be
8,000
metric
tonnes
(MT)
of
PV-grade
polysilicon
–
compared
to
the
3,600MT
cited
when
the
plans
were
first
unveiled.
The
price
tag
has
nearly
doubled…
