Plunge in crystal-growing systems orders impacts 2009 results at PVA TePla

Silicon crystal-growing systems specialist PVA TePla saw plunging new orders in 2009, as customers reigned in capital spending and cut production in the first half of the year. The company reported consolidated sales revenues of €135 million in 2009, compared to €168.6 million in the previous year. Incoming orders decreased from €189.9 million in 2008, to only €69 million in 2009. Consolidated sales revenues were below the forecasted figure due to delivery extensions to 2010 requested by some customers.

Its Solar Systems division completed two orders to supply crystal-growing systems for European customers and generated €57 million in sales in 2009.

However, sales are not expected to recover in 2010. PVA TePla guided that consolidated sales revenues would be approximately €120 million this year, down from €135 million in 2009.

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.
