FRANKFURT, Germany, April 13 /PRNewswire/ --
- Frankfurt's First Solar-Cell Plant due to Start Production on 19 April
On 19 April 2007, Odersun AG will be opening "Sun One", its first solar-cell plant in
Frankfurt (Oder). Wolfgang Tiefensee, Federal Minister for Transport, Building and Urban
Affairs and Government Commissioner for the New Federal States, will be opening the "Sun
One" plant at Im Technologiepark 7 together with Brandenburg's Minister President,
Matthias Platzeck, at 3.30 pm in the presence of invited guests, before taking a tour of
the plant and learning about the production of thin film solar modules.
Up to 60 employees will soon be working in four shifts to produce around 6,000
kilometres of solar tapes annually at the "Sun One" plant. This corresponds to the
distance Brandenburg - New York. The thin film solar modules on copper tape can be
produced for use in cells of all sizes and quality for façades and roofs, solar
power stations and designer bags with an integrated "power socket" without requiring
special complicated and expensive silicon technology.
Odersun AG's thin film solar technology has been developed entirely in Frankfurt
(Oder) over the past 14 years. "We are a real Brandenburg success story", Ramin Lavae
Mokhtari, CCE of Odersun AG boasts.
"With our patented, globally innovative technology and our flexible production process we
offer tailor-made, economic solutions."
Up to now, Odersun AG has invested 8.5 million euros in the project. The main equity
providers are Doughty Hanson Technology Ventures from London and AT&M - Advanced
Technology and Materials from Peking. The state of Brandenburg is assisting Odersun AG
with 3.5 million euros financial aid.
