Day4 Energy to expand module production to 40MW

Day4 Energy, Inc. has said that it is two months ahead of schedule to expand its proprietary PV module production with the delivery of its first batch of tools from equipment supplier ACI-ecoTec. The Vancouver-based company now expects to have 40MW capacity by the end of Q2 2008.

"Initial test runs of the new equipment are providing very encouraging results, which in turn positively impacts our ability to expedite delivery of high-quality product to our expanding global customer base," said Benjamin Duperthal, Director of Operations for Day4 Energy. "We are committed to constant technical evaluation and development of our product offering, efforts that we believe will benefit our customers and continue to place Day4 at the leading edge of solar module quality and innovation."
The new equipment is designed to manufacture the highly efficient Day4 48 MC solar module, based on the company's proprietary Day4 Electrode technology.
