centrotherm photovoltaics advsied that it had begun industrial-scale production of its high-efficiency centaurus solar cell for customers in China and Europe. Over 50MW of the centaurus technoloy are in ramp-up mass production with the company noting that it has received interest from various of its existing customers.
“Almost on a weekly basis, lab results of efficiency world records are reported. Yet, the crucial figures are those in mass production,” commented Dr. Peter Fath, CTO of centrotherm photovoltaics. “By now, around 100,000 cells have been processed with centaurus technology – the majority at our Chinese pilot customer, who has already reached efficiencies of more than 19.5% in industrial-scale production on a daily average, and even up to 19.8% at its peak. These figures once more substantiate our technology leadership.”
