GT Solar has shipped 1,000 DSS multicrystalline ingot growth furnaces in seven months having announced a new milestone of its 3,000th DSS system being shipped to customer, Gigastorage in Hsinchu, Taiwan. It was only in early November, 2010 that GT Solar announced it had reached a new milestone of its 2,000th DSS system shipment, then to another Taiwan-based PV producer, Green Energy Technology (GET).

“Achieving the milestone shipment of our 3,000th DSS ingot growth furnace is a testimony to the reliability and longevity of our DSS architecture that continues to deliver sustained value to customers eight years after its market introduction,” said Tom Gutierrez, president and chief executive officer of GT Solar. “We are pleased to recognize Gigastorage Corporation, a valued GT customer, as the recipient of our 3000th [DSS450HP] furnace.”
