Start Abound Solar thin film solar cells production line

U.S. Abound Solar (original AVA Solar) companies, rely on the production of low-cost thin-film battery started in Longmont, Colorado, voted to build its first full-service production facilities.

The plant using a special manufacturing process, greatly reduced the production of solar panels cost. Colorado Governor Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., EUROSOLAR company Hermann Scheer, president of the new company, attended the ceremony and delivered a speech.

Fully automated production line will create more than 300 new job opportunities, to generate 200MW of annual production capacity of solar energy components. Used in its manufacturing process Abound Solar's own straight-line fully automated semiconductor equipment will be made of glass solar panels, the whole process less than two hours. As the world's leading "next generation" of solar panel manufacturers, Abound Solar simplify the production of thin-film solar panel manufacturing process, the rapid expansion of production capacity so that the cost of solar power continues to drop.

"Today, new production equipment for the start of Abound is a milestone. We have entered into commercial production, thereby expanding our market to keep up with customer demand, we are well positioned to provide clients with high - performance, low-cost solar modules, you can speed up the clean energy use around the world. "Abound Solar said Pascal Noronha, CEO.

"Warm congratulations Abound Solar - a how to make Colorado the renewable energy technologies from the laboratory to the market success story, as we have seen, as a local renewable energy companies to expand their business and the creation of the employment opportunities. We can see that the new energy economy is leading the development of Colorado, Colorado will help the rapid and strong recovery. "said Colorado Governor Ritter.

"Abound Solar proof, we here in the United States has the ability to cost-effective to meet our energy needs, while protecting our climate." Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Said.

Thin-film battery with the giants in the field of First Solar, like, Abound Solar components using the latest cadmium telluride (CdTe) technology. Abound Solar was founded in 2007 to commercialize its proprietary thin-film PV modules manufacturing process. Colorado State University for 15 years of development, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) of the support, on this basis, Abound Solar has developed a fully automated continuous process technology scale to manufacture solar modules and to achieve industry-leading in order to greatly reduce the cost of solar electricity.
