Continually rising module efficiencies are finally making an impact in demand for Inventux Technologies tandem (a-Si/μc-Si) junction ‘micromorph’ thin-film modules, as the start-up says it is at full capacity in its 33MW plant near Berlin, Germany. Coupled to its professional sales network with direct customer access, Inventux says that it is producing a 132W module with 9.2%-plus stabilized efficiency, up from 8.9% in April 2009, and is currently sold out of modules during the winter months.

“In the past year Inventux has continued its successful course in terms of production and sales development and has once again been granted an unrestricted certificate by annual auditors,” noted Oliver Rothe, CFO of Inventux. “Under exceedingly difficult market conditions in 2009, we have succeeded in establishing the economic and corporate law foundations for continuing the company’s dynamic growth.”
