Applied Materials Selected by Moser Baer to Deliver World's First Gen 8.5 Thin Film Solar Production Line
Applied Materials, Inc. today announced that it has been selected by
Moser Baer India Limited to develop and install in New Delhi, India, the
world’s first Generation (Gen) 8.5 Thin Film
Solar Module Production Line. This first Gen 8.5 line will manufacture
photovoltaic solar modules using ultra-large 5.7m2
substrates (2.2m x 2.6m). These glass panels, which are four times
bigger than today’s largest solar panel
substrates, are expected to drive down panel production costs and help
reduce the overall cost of solar electricity.
"This contract represents a significant
collaboration between companies in the U.S and India to establish the
first truly modern solar facility in India using semiconductor
manufacturing processes,” said Mr. Ravi
Khanna, CEO, Moser Baer Photo Voltaic Business. "We
are focused on developing and manufacturing innovative products that are
intended to significantly reduce electric power and utility costs and
provide a cost-effective option for clean renewable energy. In light of
its extensive experience in providing process expertise to chipmakers
and large area substrate manufacturing technology to the flat panel
display industry, we are confident Applied Materials can help us rapidly
realize our plan to get to a 200 megawatt factory by 2009.”
Applied’s Thin Film Solar Module Production
Line is expected to be delivered in the second half of calendar 2007.
Applied’s contract with Moser Baer is for a
fully-integrated production line including CVD(1),
PVD(1), laser scribing, factory software,
automation and other supporting technologies required to establish a
solar panel manufacturing facility with a rated initial capacity of 40
megawatts per year. Applied’s Gen 8.5 Line is
designed for flexibility because production output can be configured for
final product sizes from 1.4m2 to 5.7m2.
Current thin film production lines are configured for panel sizes
limited to dimensions less than 1.5m2.
"This contract heralds Applied’s
entry into the delivery of full production lines to solar customers —
and signals a critical milestone for the solar industry in the drive to
reduce the cost of solar cells by using larger substrates,”
said Mark Pinto, senior vice president and general manager of Applied’s
New Business and New Products Group. "We are
excited to have this contract from Moser Baer; their extensive
experience in high volume manufacturing will be key to enabling cost
reduction. India holds tremendous potential both as a worldwide hub for
solar panel production and as an end market for photovoltaic electric
power.” Moser Baer India Limited, established in 1983 and headquartered
in New Delhi, India, is a leading supplier of recordable optical media.
