M+W Zander: First Gigawatt factory in the Photovoltaik already 2010 ago

,  Betriebsstoffrecycling and higher energy efficiency "in the silicon-based Photovoltaikproduktion it will already give cost lowerings by capacity development in the year 2009 first factories with capacities beyond the Gigawatt border." This prognosticated M+W Zander FE managing director Robert Gattereder during a lecture to a specialized conference. After Gattereders estimate becomes such a ' factory of the future ' by structure of three parallel manufacturing modules with a capacity from in each case 350 to 450 megawatts realizable. In the thin section sector against it only a Gigawattproduktion in a module is to be expected starting from 2011. So for example only still the kilns would have to be developed for the processing of appropriate glass substrates (3.21 times 3.0 square meters).A goal of the drastic raising ("scaling") of the production capacities for solar cells and modules can it be attained by smaller manufacturing costs the competitive ability of solarly produced river in relation to other energy sources. Experts estimate that this is converted in the course of the next decade. The Gigawatt factory is an important milestone on the way to such a mass production. In addition M+W Zander "the concept for wafer-based production processes developed Smart farm". It transfers experiences from the automobile to the Photovoltaikindustrie. So replaced with individual process steps a only one line-spreading installed machine the machines existing in each line, which lowers both the capital outlays and the space requirement. The supply of chemicals, gases and high-purity water takes place central according to the respective function.A high recycling degree with high-purity water and chemicals as well as an optimized storage logistics contribute in particular likewise to the lowering of the costs. With the energy consumption the M+W Zander FE managing director sees further Einsparpotenzial, approximately by use of blockheizkraftwerken. These power stations use resulting warmth with current production, in order to produce additionally steam, hot and chilled water ("tri generation"). So the CO_2 emissions of a Photovoltaik factory up to 70 per cent can simultaneous be lowered. Altogether, Gattereder could be thus saved, by Smart farm the concept to approximately 25 per cent of the capital outlays. Smart farm the concept of M+W Zander integrates the different members of the silicon-based creation of value chain. By the treatment of the silicon basic substrates ("wafer") over the production of the solar cells up to the module production everything is thus bundled under a roof.Gattereder pointed out in its lecture however that it could be more economical with certain large orders accomplish a joining of the cells to modules at the future place of work.

The power spectrum covers the planning and the building of Hightech plants for customers from the semiconductor and flat screen production, the Photovoltaikindustrie and the energy sector. In the Photovoltaiksektor the enterprise counts just like within the semiconductor range to the market leaders when planning and ready for occupancy building of manufacturing plants. Altogether the M+W Zander group converted 1.5 billion euro in the year 2005 with world-wide approximately 7000 coworkers about
