SCHOTT Solar intends to increase the annual capacity for the production of receivers for solar power plants with parabolic trough technology (Concentrated Solar Power) by the end of 2009 to approximately one gigawatt. The annual production capacity of the joint venture WACKER SCHOTT is also planned to reach one gigawatt by 2012.
