Air Products has begun supplying bulk and specialty gases to Taiwan-based Green Energy Technology’s new thin-film solar photovoltaic production facility. The deal calls for the long-term supply of nitrogen and silane as well as the accompanying gas delivery equipment and piping.

GET began volume production during December 2008 in its Gen-8.5 amorphous-silicon TFPV plant in Kuanyin Industrial Park, Taoyuan. The line, which features Applied Materials’ SunFab turnkey module production gear capable of producing 5.7 m2 panels, is scheduled to reach an annual capacity of 30 MW in the first quarter of 2009 and reach 50 MW by the end of the year.
