As part of REC Group's previously announced closure of certain wafer and cell production plants in Norway, a sale of the equipment from three plants is to be organized by surplus asset management firm, GoIndustry Dovebid. All equipment and components were said to available for sale by private negotiation.

According to GoIndustry Dovebid, REC’s former solar wafer manufacturing plants, Heroya I & II and Glomfjord, have a capacity of 775MW and contain Generation 4 state-of-the-art equipment from Meyer Burger, HCT, ALD and GT Solar, amongst others.

The 200MW solar cell manufacturing plant in Narvik is said to be equipped with Schmid, Roth & Rau, SierraTherm and ASYS equipment.

Facilities support equipment is also up for grabs, which includes a De-ionised Water Plant, Carrier Chillers, Atlas Copco air compressors and a large inventory of components.

  • 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.
