Sven Kramer, PV sales director at Bürkle said: “A profitable operation of a solar module manufacturing facility is possible in Europe and a European manufacturer can compete with Chinese operation costs. The Ypsator Lamination Line reduces the overall required floor space and allows Jabil to have a high volume production facility in one factory hall with a minimum foot print.”
A key customer of Jabil Poland is ReneSola, which outsources module assembly to provide additional capacity above and beyond its quota level into the EU.
