Spire Corporation has received a multi-million dollar contract from
Ryazan Metal Ceramics Instrumentation Plant Joint Stock Company of
Ryazan in Russia to provide them with a turnkey 12MW module
manufacturing line. This makes it the largest module producer in
Russia, according to Spire.
“The project for organization of solar module production with 12MW
yield using Spire equipment is the beginning of a large program in
solar energy development,” said Mr. Karabanov S.M., Director General of
RMCIP JSC. “We are sure that Spire equipment and technology will make
it possible for us to produce reliable and quality products that will
be in constant market demand. We hope for further cooperation with
Spire in the process of our program realization.”
The
semi-automated line will be designed to facilitate future expansion,
and will consist of Spire’s PV module manufacturing equipment
integrated into a system of active and passive conveyors.
Ryazan presently produces approximately 1MW of mono-crystalline solar cells and modules.
