Abstract

Leveraging the experience gained in successfully developing and operating a 4.2-MWp/yr CIGS production line for several years, Global Solar Energy initiated an ambitious scale-up plan in 2006. Now in the final stages of the first phase of the plan, 75-MWp/yr of combined manufacturing capacity is being installed at new production facilities in Tucson, AZ, and Berlin, Germany. Both physical plants are complete, facilitated, and capable of self-sufficient and independent operation with trained personnel now in place. All of the tool sets required for planned Phase 1 operation are complete in Tucson, and nearly complete in Berlin. While the scale of the plant expansion is rapid, the new production tools represent an evolutionary progression of the Global Solar CIGS technology. Manufacturing cost has been reduced by increased automation, higher materials utilization, and greater capacity with higher rates in all tools
