Applied’s SunFab line gets go-ahead for GET’s Taiwan plant

Green Energy Technology, Inc. (GET) has completed the certification process for its SunFab Thin Film Line, allowing for the Applied Materials thin-film product to be used in the production of Taiwan’s largest solar panels. GET had begun pilot production of the SunFab panels late last year at its facility in Tao Yuan, Taiwan.

Successful certification of the production line allows for GET to proceed with meeting customer demands in the area for large-scale commercial rooftop installations and solar farms. GET’s ramping to volume production level of the 5.7m2 SunFab panels marks Applied Materials’ first SunFab certification in Southeast Asia.

“The key to success in the solar market is the ability to drive down manufacturing cost by employing outstanding technology and manufacturing expertise,” said Mr. Hurlon Lin, president of GET. “This is exactly what we’ve done with our SunFab line. We’ve combined Green Energy’s extensive production and manufacturing experience with Applied’s advanced technology, process control and service support to set new factory benchmarks.”

    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.
