CORRECTED - REC sees fewer solar industry players in future

(Corrects to "be accretive" from "dilute" in third paragraph)

OSLO, Oct 2 (Reuters) - Norwegian solar industry group Renewable Energy Corp (REC) (REC.OL) said on Thursday that it expects fewer players in the solar sector going forward, partly due to consolidation.

"I am convinced that in this business it will be the same as in other industries -- there will be consolidation. That does not mean they will get bought, but some will disappear," REC Chief Executive Erik Thorsen told Reuters on the sidelines of a renewable energy conference.

"When considering whether to build (additional solar capacity) ourselves or to buy others, we look at whether it would be accretive in terms of costs, competence and technology," he said.

"We have considered several (takeover) options but haven't bought because we feel we do it better ourselves," Thorsen said. (Reporting by Joergen Frich; Editing by Quentin Bryar)
