M+W Zander selected as contractor for new REC complex in Singapore

M+W Zander has been chosen by the Norwegian Renewable Energy Corporation (REC) as the contractor for the new photovoltaics manufacturing development in Singapore. The order volume is estimated to be within the three-digit million Euros range. M+W’s work will encompass the planning and construction for the cells and modules part of the integrated solar complex which includes the hook-up of the process tools.

“It is an important success for M+W Zander to receive a major order from the world’s largest producers of polysilicon and wafers for solar applications”, said Jürgen Wild, Speaker of the M+W Zander management board. “After having reached its full capacity this project will demonstrate the high competitiveness of REC’s solar energy solutions,” Wild concluded.

The contract is part of phase 1 development for REC’s Singapore plant. The intended cell capacity for this phase is expected to be around 550MW from eight production lines. The projected capacity for the modules is calculated at roughly 590MW from four production lines.

    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.
