Phoenix Solar AG opens new market segment through a framework agreement
with new supplier of thin-film modules
- Framework supply contract closed with Solyndra Inc. for approximately 450
million Euros
- Product portfolio extended to CIGS modules
Sulzemoos 24 July 2008 / Phoenix Solar AG (ISIN DE000A0BVU93) today signed
a framework supply contract with Solyndra Inc., a Fremont, California-based
manufacturer of CIGS (copper indium gallium diselenide) thin-film modules.
The contract has a volume of around 450 million Euros and comprises the
delivery of solar modules between 2008 and 2012. Yearly increasing delivery
volumes along with simultaneous price decreases per watt of peak output
were agreed.
The solar modules are highly innovative and distinguish themselves
significantly from conventional solar modules. With this novel product,
photovoltaic systems can be quickly installed on a broad range of rooftops
including those that until now were unsuitable for conventional solar
systems. The CIGS thin-film technology extends Phoenix Solar AGs product
portfolio. The group also thereby opens a new market segment.
