The World's Largest Thin-Film Solar Battery Factory In Brandenburg Construction

Johanna solar technology company will start construction of Brandenburg in Germany the world's largest copper indium gallium selenium sulfur solar modules packaging factory with a total investment of 72 million euros to a planned output of 30 MW in 2009 to reach 60 MW, providing 180 jobs.

According to the company president on the latest technology based on the solar modules highest conversion rate can reach 16%, with the traditional silicon components comparable, he predicted that in 2010 thin-film modules will account for the world solar system installation share of 20%, copper indium gallium sulfur and selenium components accounted for one half. The maturity of the technology will improve and promote the polysilicon bottleneck problems at the same time in 2008 to more than large-scale enterprises will be expanded and more silicon production, then the time will be more likely to repeat silicon production overcapacity situation. Those who rely on the multi-crystalline silicon solar plant material downstream survival is how we think about.
