JA Solar to Supply BP Solar with More Than 185MW of Solar Cells

While BP may be best known for their oil exploration and destruction of the Gulf of Mexico, the conglomerate also has a company focused on solar power called BP Alternative Energy or BP Solar. BP Solar was created to design, manufacture and market solar energy products as well as “provide solar energy solutions” for residential, commercial, industrial and utility sectors. Stepping up their production of renewable energy, BP Solar has just signed an agreement with JA Solar Holdings Co. – a collaboration which will give way to the world’s largest manufacturer of solar products, providing more than 185MW of mono-crystalline and multi-crystalline solar cells in 2010 and through 2011.

Don’t forget what “BP” stands for – British PETROLEUM. IF they really want to get serious about solar, they should change their name from BP Solar to, simply, BS.
Then again, we have already had enough BS from BP.

Reports indicates that BP is about to launch its new PR campaign with the BPCares website. BP recently acquired the BPCares domains and plans to launch the website soon to battle the falsehoods by the media and the eco-sensitive strain.
In a memo leaked to reporters, BP’s plan is to be repentful for the loss of jobs and resources to the people in the Gulf and to put forth a strategy moving forward. The domains that BP owns are:
BPCares.com
BPCares.net
BPCares.org
BPCares.info
BPCares.us
BPCares.biz
The website is being beta tested and will be up soon.
