Thin-film technology development is the focus for
centrotherm photovoltaics AG, as the company has today announced the
construction of a Research & Development Centre in Blaubeuren,
Germany. Completion of the facility, which is to include a thin-film
laboratory equipped with the latest analysis tools and pilot
fabrication for CIGS lines, is expected in 2H08.
With plans to employ approximately 20 staff members,
the facility will be headed up by Dr. Immo Kötschau, who takes up the
role of Director of Research and Development. This development follows
on from the company’s announced intention at the time of its IPO in October last year that it would use the proceeds to invest in research and development projects.
"Our objective is to enhance our technological expertise and further increase the efficiency of our production lines," said Robert Hartung (pictured), CEO of centrotherm photovoltaics AG. "We are aiming for a guaranteed rate of 10 percent in the production process."
