Praxair to supply bulk gases to XsunX

XsunX has signed an agreement with Praxair for the supply of bulk industrial gases for its new multi-megawatt thin film photovoltaic (TFPV) solar manufacturing facility near Portland, Oregon.

XsunX is currently refurbishing an existing 90,000 sq. ft. building, located in Wood Village, to house its integrated TFPV manufacturing operations.

"The agreement will provide for Praxair's expertise in the design, installation, and management of our gas handling and delivery systems and a long term contract to supply the bulk of our manufacturing gas needs," stated Mr. Tom Djokovich, CEO for XsunX. "We are pleased that such a major part of the integrated thin film TFPV manufacturing process is in good hands. Having secured gas supplies with Praxair to support a large part of our thin film TFPV manufacturing processes, we have begun to meet our short and mid term goals in the build out and supply of our multi-megawatt thin film photovoltaic solar manufacturing facility."

    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.
