Von Ardenne to supply CIGS and CdTe systems to China

News

Equipment will be delivered and taken into operation within the next two years

Von Ardenne, a Dresden-based maker of equipment for industrial coatings, has signed contracts for the delivery of several coating systems for the production of CIGS and CdTe PV modules with subsidiaries of state-owned China National Building Materials (CNBM).

The equipment will be used for the production of CIGS solar modules in two 300MW-plants in Bengbu (province Anhui) and Jiangyin (province Jiangsu) as well as the production of CdTe solar modules in an 100MW-plant in Chengdu (province Sichuan).

The equipment will be gradually delivered and taken into operation within the next two years. This investment is part of CNBM's long-range plan to build factories for the production of photovoltaic modules with an overall annual capacity of 15GW worldwide.

The coating systems deposit ultra-thin functional layers on glass substrates using a magnetron sputtering process. These glass substrates will be further processed into solar modules.

The contracts were signed at the SNEC 2016 Asian trade show for Photovoltaics in Shanghai.
