Advanced Solar Photonics schedules 40MW thin-film module production facility

Florida-based Advanced Solar Photonics (ASP) has revealed its plans to break ground on its SolarFab this year following its expansion to a 318,000 sq ft facility. The SolarFab, a thin-film module production plant is scheduled to ramp up production to 40MW by late 2010, with the capability to expand capacity further down the line. The new production facility will focus on development of ASP’s thin-film SunPanels, which are scalable and are expected to be able to reach grid parity by 2011 due to ASP’s patented manufacturing process and technologies.

“We understand manufacturing and building equipment - it’s what we’ve done for the last decade,” said Edgardo Rodriguez, Vice President of sales for Advanced Solar Photonics. “We have been studying this industry for a long time and are now ready to offer a complete solution that will achieve grid parity and help revolutionize the photovoltaic market.”

    Photovoltaics International 16th Edition

    This sixteenth edition of Photovoltaics International marks four years of production of the quarterly journal. As always, our focus is on efficiency and quality improvement and cost reduction in manufacturing. As 2012 rolls along, companies are falling by the wayside due to supply and demand issues, ASP declines and drastic governmental subsidy cuts. A clear picture of 2012 is offered through papers from the likes of TÜV Rheinland, Fraunhofer ISE, SEMI PV Group and EPIA, amongst others.
