NEW DELHI, February 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Moser Baer (BSE and NSE:
MOSERBAER), the global technology company, today said its 40 megawatt Thin
Film Line has received the prestigious certification from the Inernational
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The certification confirms that the thin
film modules to be produced at the plant in Greater Noida will meet IEC's
stringent requirements for functional and mechanical capabilities for
long-term operation and safety specifications under challenging environmental
conditions. Just a fortnight ago, Moser Baer had announced that its
photovoltaic subsidiary is ready for production of thin film photovoltaic
modules.
Ratul Puri, Executive Director, Moser Baer, said: "I am delighted with
this achievement. This certification of our thin film single junction modules

subsidiary, said: "In under two years of operation, Moser Baer Photovoltaic
has achieved certification for products across three technologies-crystalline
silicon, high concentration and thin film. The IEC certification is a gold
standard in the solar industry. Our thin film single junction modules have
demonstrated the highest production capacity to date for manufacturing the
world's largest solar modules and they have passed IEC's battery of tests and
passed the first time. This accelerated certification will enable us to serve
the needs of our strategic customers."
Moser Baer's 40MW thin film line in Greater Noida is now ready for
production and work on the 65MW tandem junction thin film line, coming up
adjacent to the present line, is proceeding rapidly. The company is also
setting up a 500MW capacity thin film plant in Chennai.
Note for Editors
The Geneva-based IEC sets international standards for all electrical,
electronic and related technologies and its test standard is used worldwide
by the solar industry to verify that new solar modules and the encapsulation
materials and manufacturers of solar modules meet a minimum set of functional
and mechanical requirements to prove confidence for claim of long-term (+20
years) modules performance integrity.
