Spire
Corporation has won a follow-on turnkey photovoltaic cell module
assembly line contract with Spanish renewable energy company Fluitecnik
S.A. The new 20MW line will be operated in Portugal. Spire had
previously equipped a 20MW cell module line for Fluitecnik in the
Dominican Republic. Fluitecnik also has plans for a new facility
capable of assembling 50MW modules per annum, which would raise
production to 82MW total at the end of 2009.
Mr. Alberto Madoz, General Manager of Fluitecnik S.A. said, “We experienced firsthand Spire’s superior design and engineering support services with our first solar module plant, completed recently in the Dominican Republic. Spire’s ability to deliver a turnkey facility and provide the support necessary to qualify the finished modules under international standards is unique and an important competitive advantage to our firm.”
“One of the keys to success in our business model is repeat and add-on orders from customers for our turnkey solar factories,” said Roger G. Little, Chairman and CEO of Spire Corporation. “We’re delighted to partner once again with Fluitecnik and look forward to helping them expand into the dynamic European Union solar energy marketplace.”
