Heraeus opens Taiwanese PV manufacturing facility

Heraeus' PV business unit has opened a new production site in Taiwan in order to meet demand in the region.

The Heraeus Photovoltaics business unit, part of German technology firm Heraeus, has opened a new manufacturing facility in Taiwan demonstrating its commitment to the PV industry in the country and region.

"Taiwan is an important market for the future of the photovoltaic industry," said Andy London, global manager of the company’s photovoltaics business unit. "We value the demand from this region and see it as vital to the future growth of our global PV business."

The facility, which will allow the PV unit to provide a faster service and customized products for the Taiwanese market, features a large laboratory as well as manufacturing capabilities. The company has also hired and trained local personnel to operate the facility.

There will be an official grand opening during PV Taiwan 2012, an international PV exhibition held on October 3-5.

Photovoltaics International 19th Edition

For manufacturers who had their heads in the bunker during 2012, fighting falling ASPs and eroding margins, the nineteenth edition brings you details of what lies in store for this coming year. Wright Williams & Kelly return in this issue with their popular analysis of payback on technology buys; crucially they analyze n-type wafers, Al2O3 passivation and copper metallization. SERIS shows us how to achieve 18.7% efficiencies using low-cost etching techniques on diffused wafers. We also have two important technology roundups: CIGS from Helmholtz Berlin, and PV module encapsulation techniques from Fraunhofer ISE.
Manufacturing The Solar Future: The 2013 Production Annual

In the ever-changing global solar markets, cost reduction and measures to increase cell efficiencies are the key tools available to PV manufacturers to create new opportunities and drive your business to the next level. Manufacturing the Solar Future 2013 is the third in the Photovoltaics International PV Production Annual series, delivering the next instalment of in-depth technical manufacturing information on PV production processes designed to help you gain the competitive edge.
