September 4, 2007 – Vol. 12 No.24 Applied Materials Introduces Revolutionary Integrated Production Line for Manufacturing Ultra Large Format Solar Modules. Applied SunFab(tm) Thin Film Line is the world’s first and only integrated production line for manufacturing thin film silicon solar modules using 5.7 square meter (m2) glass panels. The substrates, sized at 2.2m x 2.6m, are four times bigger than today’s largest thin film solar production panels. The Applied SunFab Line defines a new standard for the industry that can be replicated by customers around the globe to rapidly establish solar panel manufacturing capacity and achieve the lowest production cost per watt to drive down the cost of solar electricity. Using 5.7m2 panels, the SunFab Line can reduce the cost of utility-scale and building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system installations by more than 20 percent, according to the company. The Applied SunFab Thin Film Line can be configured for single or tandem junction technology and can produce as much as 75 megawatts (MW) in solar modules per year.
