24 June 2009

Auria Solar, a manufacturer of solar photovoltaic modules, has reached mass production with Oerlikon Solar’s manufacturing technology for thin film silicon solar photovoltaic modules and was awarded IEC certification from TUV Rheinland as a result.

Oerlikon Solar and Auria Solar ramped up the 60MW Tainan facility and brought it to mass production in just under eight months.

Dr Chi-Yao Tsai, CEO of Auria Solar, said, ‘Oerlikon Solar was our preferred supplier because of its proven technology, superior panel performance, comprehensive customer service and unmatched track record in delivering the fastest time-to-market. We are extremely impressed with the speed in which Oerlikon Solar’s expert team was able to bring our Micromorph end-to-end fab to mass production.’

Dr Tsai added that the TUV Rheinland IEC certificate provided the company with a good starting position to expand its operations on a global basis. At the close of 2008, the company announced plans to boost its manufacturing capacity to 500MW by 2012.
