Moser Baer completes trials of Gen 8.5 thin film plant
PV Technologies India Limited (PVTIL), a subsidiary of Moser Baer India Limited, has completed deposition trials for Gen 8.5 a-Si (Amorphous Silicon) thin film modules, at its new 40 MW facility in Greater Noida.
"This is truly a major landmark for us as it marks the completion of the first project for manufacture of a-Si thin film modules with Gen 8.5 technology. Achieving successful and stable thin film deposition capability for such large size panels in a record time further manifests our technology and project execution capabilities. We commenced equipment trials on schedule in March 2008 and are now on track for commencing commercial production on target," said Ravi Khanna, chief executive officer, Moser Baer.
PVTIL recently signed a MoU with an equipment supplier to secure supply of critical equipment for an additional 565 MW phased expansion of its thin film photovoltaic modules manufacturing capacity, which together with the current project capacity of 40 MW will take the total manufacturing capacity to over 600 MW by 2010.
Photovoltaic modules based on large area thin film technology provide a potential roadmap to lower the cost of solar energy to consumers. Thin film solar modules are ideal for solar farms, rural applications and building integrated Photovoltaic.
