ET Solar Group Strengthens Management Team with the Appointment of Jeff Lu as
Chief Technology Officer
NANJING, China, July 20 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- ET Solar Group Corp. ("ET
Solar"), a Nanjing-based integrated manufacturer of photovoltaic products
including ingots, wafers, modules, and state-of-the-art dual-axis tracking
systems with manufacturing facilities located in Taizhou, China, announced
today that it has appointed Dr. Jeff Lu as its new Chief Technology Officer
("CTO") effective immediately.
With over 12 years of experience in solar industry, Dr. Lu brings over
extensive expertise in PV product development, manufacturing and engineering
and operational management with leading technology companies in the United
States. Immediately before joining ET Solar, he worked at Daystar Technologies
as the Senior Director of Product Development, focusing on the development of
GICS solar cells and modules for 3 years. Prior to that, he functioned as the
Director of Operations at Advanced Photonic Integrated Circuits, where he was
mainly responsible for the development of solar concentrators. Furthermore,
Dr.
Lu holds six pending PV patents on efficiency improvement, module
manufacturing and encapsulation materials.
Xinghua Wang, Chairman of ET Solar, commented: "We are very pleased to
have Jeff join us as the Chief Technology Officer. Given his wide breath of
experience on new product commercialization, quality control and improvement,
and specifically module encapsulation and concentrator technologies, I have
every reason to believe that Jeff will be a very significant contributor to
the execution of ET Solar's differentiated business model and downstream
driven growth strategy. In a complementary role as Chief Scientist, Dr. Linhui
Sui, will be partnering with Jeff and the rest of the team in developing new
downstream products, and formulating and executing our R&D roadmap."
Dr. Lu remarked: "I am very excited to join ET Solar as Chief Technology
Officer. Being an integrated solar play that focuses on the downstream part of
the value chain, ET Solar offers a strong growth platform as the industry's
ultimate raw material supply becomes less of an issue over time. Developing a
wide array of downstream products is therefore essential to the long term
sustainability of a company's growth, and this is exactly what I am
particularly strong at and very much committed to."
Dr. Lu received his Bachelor of Science in Physics from Fu-Jen University
in Taipei, Taiwan, and his Master and Ph.D. in Industrial, System, and Welding
Engineering from the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.
