In order to increase the capacity the company's main factory at Prenzlau will be modernizing its oldest production line, “aleo I”.  Capacity will also be increased by improving production efficiency and by utilizing solar cells with a higher output rating. The avim solar production joint venture, based in Gaomi, China, will also lift production capacity to 90MW from the present 50MW, while the Spanish plant at Santa Maria de Palautordera will maintain its current capacity of 20MW.

“This shows just how urgently we need to expand,” said chief technical and development officer Dr. Jens Sabotke. “We have optimized process control and improved efficiency to the point where our output already exceeds our nominal capacity.”
