What They Are Saying About Camstar |
Mr. Jody Cowan, Managing Director, Strategy22
“Increasing quality throughout the solar industry is the most direct route to creating the reality of grid parity today. Camstar’s Advancing Product Quality (APQ) model increases quality by improving asset utilization, innovation, and product quality to drive down coasts. Quality and innovation form a synergy that also lengthens lifespan and increases conversion efficiency. A leap is made to grid parity today, as the Cost/kWh decreases by 13 – 17%. If you are ready to take the leap into APQ, I recommend downloading Camstar’s eBook "Beyond Grid Parity" to find out how to get started.” |

Rob Rudder,
Senior Vice President of Global Sales & Marketing, Camstar Systems
"Only those who are the most flexible and innovative enterprises can genuinely obtain real grid parity, as well as the long-term gains.” said Rob Rudder, vice president of global sales and marketing of Camstar. “The leaders in the Solar industry are going to drive production output up 3 to 5 times for their high volume manufacturing sites over the next 24 months. This is necessary to drive unit cost down. And the fact is, their existing systems are not going to be able to handle the volume of data that needs to be processed, nor will they have the intelligence needed for effective process and yield improvement. As the Solar industry matures the players will have to make similar investments that the Semiconductor industry made. Camstar has applied the experience we gained in the Semiconductor industry and applied it to SolarSuite, designed specifically for the solar industry."
