Solarvalue AG: Production Process creates huge cost advantage. Solarvalue focuses on dialogue with strategic investors.
Solarvalue AG / Key word(s): Enterprise/ 07.04.2011 / 17:25 Berlin, 7.4.2011: The process developed by Solarvalue AG to produce solar grade silicon enables production cost of approximately USD 18 per kilogram after ramp up. This cost advantage is due to the fact that compared to mainstream production processes ('Siemens process') the capital expenditure is only 30 percent. Solarvalue, as scheduled, now has built an own pilot production for unidirectional solidification of silicon. The major purpose of the current production facility is to qualify the output material produced via the Solarvalue process. The bricks produced have a weight of approximately 60 kilograms and will be cut to ingots and delivered to potential customers or investors. Dr. Christian Bornhauser, member of the managing board of Solarvalue AG: 'In addition to the purities achieved the low production cost are very convincing. This opens attractive margin potentials to companies that invest in our technology. As a first step it is scheduled to build a production module with an annual capacity of approximately 200 metric tons. Such a production module for polysilicon would ensure profitable production and could be combined with a directly linked ingot production nearby. This production facility is the basis to collect additional experience for the future industrial scale production facility with 2,000 to 3,000 metric tons annual production capacity. The major advantage of our production process lies in the low investment cost and the relatively little floor space required. As an example this production module can be assembled upstream of a cell production line and therefore is qualified to reduce logistic cost at the cell manufacturer, to ensure security of supply, to extend the value chain. We will continue to stay in intensive dialogue with potential investors.' Contact: max.
