Berlin, 7.4.2011: The process developed by Solarvalue AG to produce solar
grade silicon enables production cost of approximately USD 18 per kilogram
after ramp up. This cost advantage is due to the fact that compared to
mainstream production processes ('Siemens process') the capital expenditure
is only 30 percent. Solarvalue, as scheduled, now has built an own pilot
production for unidirectional solidification of silicon. The major purpose
of the current production facility is to qualify the output material
produced via the Solarvalue process. The bricks produced have a weight of
approximately 60 kilograms and will be cut to ingots and delivered to
potential customers or investors.
Dr. Christian Bornhauser, member of the managing board of Solarvalue AG:
'In addition to the purities achieved the low production cost are very
convincing. This opens attractive margin potentials to companies that
invest in our technology. As a first step it is scheduled to build a
production module with an annual capacity of approximately 200 metric tons.
Such a production module for polysilicon would ensure profitable production
and could be combined with a directly linked ingot production nearby. This
production facility is the basis to collect additional experience for the
future industrial scale production facility with 2,000 to 3,000 metric tons
annual production capacity. The major advantage of our production process
lies in the low investment cost and the relatively little floor space
required. As an example this production module can be assembled upstream of
a cell production line and therefore is qualified to reduce logistic cost
at the cell manufacturer, to ensure security of supply, to extend the value
chain. We will continue to stay in intensive dialogue with potential
investors.'
