Specialist PV manufacturing equipment supplier Singulus Technologies has booked over €40 million (US$48.5 million) in new CIGS (Copper-Indium-Gallium-Diselenide) thin-film manufacturing equipment orders in 2018. 

Dr.-Ing. Stefan Rinck, Chief Executive Officer said, “Our company has received in the first months of 2018 already prepayment with a order volume over €40 million for CIGS production equipment. We are thus able to further expand our leading position for the delivery of production machines for CIGS solar modules. Our order backlog currently exceeds €130 million.”

Singulus also noted that in recent days it had signed an agreement as well as payment from a subsidiary of a large, stock-listed energy company that also manufacturers PV modules in China for its TENUIS II, CIGS & CdTe wet-chemical coating process tools, valued at €10 million (US$12.1 million). 

According to PV Tech’s recent analysis of capacity expansion announcements in 2017, a total of almost 4GW of new thin-film production plans were revealed, up from just over 1GW in 2016, which supported a revival in the fortunes of European thin-film manufacturing equipment suppliers such as Singulus, Manz and von Ardenne.
