Posted on: Wednesday, 15 October 2008, 09:00 CDT
Signet Solar, a manufacturer of thin film silicon photovoltaic modules, has begun volume production at its manufacturing facility in Mochau, Germany, after receiving Final Acceptance Test certification from SGS Germany.
Applied Materials, a provider of nanomanufacturing technology solutions and supplier of the SunFab production line to Signet, has said that the Final Acceptance Test (FAT) approval is a significant step in the industrialization of solar photovoltaics.
Signet has produced over 2,000 solar photovoltaic (PV) modules during its pilot production period and expects to now ramp to full production capacity of 20MW per year. Signet plans to continue to increase capacity at the German facility to reach up to 130MW by the end of 2009.
Rajeeva Lahri, CEO of Signet Solar, said: "Commencing volume production just 15 months after breaking ground has validated our strategy to bring rapidly scalable and affordable thin film silicon PV technology to market with proven equipment set and mainstream materials."
