The acquisition of the shareholding by CNBM has yet to be approved by Chinese government agencies and the relevant competition authorities.
CNBM has plans for four CIGS thin-film module production plants in China. The first plant has already been completed and commissioned, while the second plant tools have already been ordered. Singulus expects orders for the next two fabs in 2018.
