Less than five months later, the company has increased to volume production level of full size 5.7m2 SunFab panels and is ready to serve applications like large-scale commercial rooftop installations and solar farms.
“The key to success in the solar market is the ability to drive down manufacturing cost by employing outstanding technology and manufacturing expertise,” said Hurlon Lin, president of Green Energy. “This is exactly what we’ve done with our SunFab line. We’ve combined Green Energy’s extensive production and manufacturing experience with Applied’s advanced technology, process control and service support to set new factory benchmarks.”
“Applied has a 20-year history of working with leading semiconductor and flat panel display companies in Taiwan and we are very pleased that our first SunFab certification in Southeast Asia is with Green Energy,” said Dr. Randhir Thakur, senior vice president and general manager, SunFab thin film solar and display business group at Applied Materials. “Our successful collaboration with Green Energy resulted in a very rapid manufacturing ramp and we’re confident that our long-term relationship will continue to drive exceptional factory performance.”
