Schott Solar暂停其在Albuquerque的两个太阳能集生产线的其中之一。Schott表示,暂停生产将意味着将要解雇约30个临时员工。

总部坐落于德国Mainz的Schott Solar去年刚建了Albuquerque工厂。
Schott Solar is suspending one of its two concentrated solar power production lines in Albuquerque.Schott says the suspension will mean laying off about 30 temporary agency employees.
The company blames slow growth in the North American market and a slowdown in the Spanish market. Company spokesman Matthew Kraft in Elmsford, N.Y., says Schott had 370 employees in Albuquerque before the announced layoffs.
Schott produces photovoltaic panels and thermal receivers at its 200,000-square-foot Albuquerque plant, its flagship facility in North America.
The concentrated solar power modules or thermal receivers are used in large-scale solar power plant trough systems.
Officials say Schott's production of photovoltaic modules is not affected.
