New Delhi, May 13 Moser Baer India Ltd has announced that its subsidiary, PV Technologies India Ltd (PVTIL), has completed deposition trials for Gen 8.5 Amorphous Silicon (a-Si) thin film modules, at its new 40 MW facility in Greater Noida.

“This is a major landmark for us as it marks the completion of the first project for manufacture of a-Si thin film modules with Gen 8.5 technology. Achieving successful and stable thin film deposition capability for such large size panels in a record time further manifests our technology and project execution capabilities.

“We commenced equipment trials on schedule in March 2008 and are now on track for commencing commercial production on target,” said Mr Ravi Khanna, CEO, Moser Baer PV.

Mr Yogesh Mathur, Group CFO, Moser Baer India Ltd, said the company saw an increasingly significant role for Thin Film technologies in meeting peaking power requirements and now aims to be a significant player in this segment.

“The 40-MW Thin Film facility has met key project objectives and we continue with our significant capacity ramp up plans,” he said.

PV Technologies India has recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with a global equipment supplier to secure supply of critical equipment for an additional 565 MW phased expansion of its Thin Film photovoltaic modules manufacturing capacity, which together with the current project capacity of 40 MW would take the total manufacturing capacity to over 600 MW by 2010.
