2 Industrial Clusters

Compared to other countries, Taiwan has advantages in the
development of green energy industries, including a solid foundation in
the ICT industry, a comprehensive semiconductor industry supply chain,
and strong industrial capacity in metallurgy, mechanical engineering,
composite materials, and electronic controls. Taiwan has developed
1
large-scale solar PV, light emitting diode (LED) lighting equipment, wind
power, and other green energy industries, and formed industry clusters.
In solar PV, the overall industry includes upstream silicon
materials, midstream solar cells and modules, and downstream solar
PV systems. Taiwan mainly focuses on solar cell and modules, for
which the best known manufacturers include Motech Industries,
Tatung, Gigastorage, Mospec Semiconductor, Giga Solar, and Neo
Solar Power. In LED lighting equipment, Taiwan has a comprehensive
supply chain with upstream companies that specialize in sapphire wafer
and chips including Tatung, Genesis Photonics, AimCore Technology,
Sino-American Silicon Products, and Rigidtech Microelectronics.
Midstream companies that specialize in manufacturing processes
and testing include Chroma, Tyntek, Sanlien Technology, MPI,
Polytronics Technology, Lextar Electronics, EPILEDS, Epistar, and
Arima Optoelectronics. Downstream companies that specialize in LED
packaging, modules, and lighting equipment include Genius Electronic
Optical, Bright LED Electronics, Excel Cell Electronic, Everlight, ADATA,
Delta Electronics, High Power Lighting, and Soaring Technology.

In wind power, although Taiwan got off to a late start, more
companies have entered the industry since the issuance of the
"Directions for Allocating Installed Capacity of Offshore Wind Potential
Zones" and the announcement of the "Offshore Wind Power Industry
Policy" in 2018. New entrants in the industry include companies that
specialize in underwater foundations such as Sing Da Marine Structure,
