ASP Announces Thin Film Module Production Plant

Lake Mary, Fl., - Advanced Solar Photonics, (ASP), the cutting-edge developer of laser marking, scribing, edge deletion and edge isolation systems for the solar industry, has expanded to a 318,000 sq ft facility to build a solar panel thin-film module production plant. This plant, SolarFab,™ is breaking ground this year and is scheduled to ramp up production to 40MW by late 2010 with the ability to continue to increase in capacity. This opportunity will create about 200 green jobs in Florida.

With the dependence on foreign oil, environmental degradation and the vulnerability of power networks, SolarFab™ is committed to developing ASP’s thin-film SunPanels™ for the greater use of clean energy alternatives such as solar power. ASPs’ thin-film SunPanels™ will be scalable and are expected to be able to reach grid parity by 2011 due to ASPs’ patented manufacturing process and technologies which can increase efficiency levels and lower costs. Additionally, SolarFab™ will help meet government and consumers’ growing demand for increasingly efficient and cost- effective solar power. SolarFab™ endeavors to have the first solar panel production site in the state of Florida.

“We understand manufacturing and building equipment - it’s what we’ve done for the last decade. We have been studying this industry for a long time and are now ready to offer a complete laser solution that will achieve grid parity and help revolutionize the photovoltaic market,” said Edgardo Rodriguez, Vice President of sales for Advanced Solar Photonics.

Reaching out to the photovoltaic industry, Advanced Solar Photonics and it’s SolarFab™ facility strive to keep manufacturing costs low utilizing proven patented technology geared to improve and lower the cost per kilowatt in thin-film panels.
