Industry leaders partner for high performance solar cells. Suniva Inc., a manufacturer of high value crystalline silicon solar cells, has signed a long-term agreement with REC, the world's largest producer of polysilicon and wafers for solar applications. The contract ensures Suniva access to more than $300 million worth of monocrystalline silicon wafers over the next five years for use at the company's new high volume production facility in Georgia.  

"This contract is aligned with our increasing presence in the high efficiency monocrystalline cell segment and comes in addition to the significant contract portfolio signed to date," said Erik Thorsen, president and CEO of REC. Ingelise Arntsen, EVP of REC Wafer added, "We look forward to work with the technical team of Dr. Ajeet Rohatgi to further improve the performance of monocrystalline silicon cells."  

REC is significantly expanding its monocrystalline silicon wafer capacity in Norway as Suniva scales its manufacturing operations in the United States. Suniva's facility, announced earlier this month, will have an initial capacity of 32 megawatts (MW) on its first line, with additional lines planned to produce more than 130 MW over the next two years.
