Meyer Burger’s high performance heterojunction (HJT) solar cell coating technology has been selected for the installation of a manufacturing line to produce bifacial heterojuction solar cells in Catania, Italy. The contract volume is approximately CHF 45 million ($45 million).
The two heterojuction solar cell lines will enable a total production capacity of up to 200 MW. The order comprises installation, on-site training and service of the HELiA platform. Delivery will start by mid-2018 and full production is expected to begin in 2019.
The customer currently produces thin film modules and has already delivered over 500 MW of installed PV capacity. Meyer Burger’s industrialized HELiA platform for the production of bifacial HJT solar cells has been selected to replace the existing cell technology in order to produce bifacial HJT solar cells. Meyer Burger is also entering into a joint development partnership with the PV manufacturer to drive average HJT cell efficiencies beyond 23%.
