Phoenix Solar completes a 400 kWp photovoltaic project on the company
building of Applied Materials in Singapore
*Singapore's largest thin-film photovoltaic plant is to be inaugurated
today
*The world's largest thin-film modules used in construction
Sulzemoos 13 April 2010 / Singapore based Phoenix Solar Pte Ltd, a
subsidiary of TecDAX listed Phoenix Solar AG, Germany, has completed
Singapore's largest photovoltaic plant built with thin-film modules with a
peak output of 380 kilowatts (kWp) on the new company building of Applied
Materials Inc. in Singapore. The thin-film modules used in construction are
the world's largest, with a surface area of 5.7 square metres. In addition
to the 380 kWp large-scale tandem modules, the Phoenix team also used 4.8
kWp of semi-transparent thin-film modules along with 14.4 kWp
multi-crystalline modules, which brings the plant's peak output to around
400 kilowatts in total.
Applied Materials' 32,000 square metre operations centre serves as a hub
for the company's activities throughout Asia. The building has been rated
Green Mark Platinum by Singapore's Building&Construction Authority and
will be inaugurated today, 13 April 2010.
The photovoltaic modules were manufactured in Germany and China using the
so-called 'SunFab Thin Film Line TM', a production line developed by
Applied Materials. This fully integrated thin-film production line is
suitable for either single junction or tandem junction thin-film modules
and, with modules measuring 2.2 m x 2.6 metres, can produce the world's
largest and most powerful mass-produced thin film solar modules. These
large modules lower the installation costs as assembly is swifter and save
on mounting materials.
'At approximately 105 kg and yet only 8 mm thick, handling and installing
these modules on the roof was a challenge. We are extremely proud of the
entire project team for their innovative engineering solutions', said
Christophe Inglin, Managing Director of Phoenix Solar Pte Ltd.
'The new photovoltaic system on our roof is an excellent showcase for our
SunFab technology - and is accessible to anyone who visits our new
Singapore Operations Centre', commented Russel Tham, President of Applied
Materials South East Asia. 'Phoenix Solar installed the system in a matter
of weeks and with the highest level of professionalism. We are very pleased
with the result.'
