The bankruptcy does not appear to be related to GT’s solar business, but rather tech giant Apple’s recent decision not to use GT-produced sapphire glass in its iPhone 6, as was once expected.
GT is a leading supplier of equipment for making polysilicon and ingots, which are then processed into PV modules. This summer the New Hampshire-based company announced a deal to supply ingot furnaces to Qatar Solar Energy’s new integrated PV factory being built in Doha.
