The $250 million solar equipment deal with Moser Baer India supports AMAT's competence in the solar equipment field. Potential growth in this segment is strong and AMAT initially expected to have made $500 million in solar equipment contracts by 2010. However, AMAT has soared past that intial estimate with a solar deal in 2008 worth $1.9 billion to build multiple solar panel factories for a private foreign company.
