In addition to using its manufacturing model to ramp production, ship and install the DSS450HP systems in GCL’s new wafer manufacturing facility, GT Solar is also leveraging its service personnel located in China for the installation work.
The company has also employed a dedicated team of field service personnel, who will inspect GCL’s facility to ensure that installation and acceptance of the systems goes smoothly.
Tom Gutierrez, president and CEO of GT Solar, said: “GCL is a significantly important customer for us as we are working with both their polysilicon production and PV manufacturing businesses.
“We have put together an aggressive installation schedule and have allocated the necessary resources to meet GCL’s timeline for bringing all the units on line demonstrating that we have the experience and depth of resources capable of handling a project of this magnitude and in meeting GCL’s installation timeframe.”
