T-Solar Global S.A. announced that it has begun volume production of photovoltaic (PV) modules using a SunFab™ Thin Film Line supplied by Applied Materials, Inc (Nasdaq: AMAT).
The solar panels produced by the SunFab line are currently the largest in commercial production, sized at 5.7 square-meters (m2), and are ideally suited for large-scale solar farm applications.
T-Solar is expected to annually produce 700,000 m2 of PV panels with the potential to generate up to 45 megawatts (MW) equivalent module production per year. T-Solar said it plans to eventually expand the line by 40%.
T-Solar and Applied Materials have also entered into a multiyear service agreement that guarantees fixed maintenance costs and is aimed at driving constant improvement in line output.
T-Solar Group currently has 28 photovoltaic power stations in Spain, with an installed power rating of 143,39 MW.
