Würth Solar opens CISfab solar manufacturing plant in Schwäbisch Hall
Worldwide first mass production of silicon-free CIS solar modules
Schwäbisch Hall. Almost exactly one year after the ground-breaking ceremony, Würth Solar today celebrated the opening of CISfab, its new production site for CIS solar modules in Schwäbisch Hall. The company is thus opening a new chapter in photovoltaics, as this represents the first mass production of CIS solar modules worldwide. Contrary to conventional modules, CIS solar modules make do without silicon, a currently scarce raw material, and are therefore viewed in the industry as very future-oriented. "Würth Solar will continuously increase production capacity until yearend and then reach full capacity at CISfab as planned at the turn of the year. This makes us the forerunner in the new technology of photovoltaics and sets a milestone in the booming solar industry," says Karl-Heinz Groß, CEO of Würth Solar. From 2007 onwards, Würth Solar plans to manufacture around 200,000 CIS solar modules per annum, which corresponds to around 14.8 megawatts of available energy. CISfab will boast a headcount of around 175 in 2007, of which 35 staff will report to the Würth Solergy sales unit.
