E.On and Schüco build a thin film plant in Germany

E.On has started the construction of a 40 MW ultra-large thin film solar panel factory in Germany.

E.On has acquired a share in Malibu, which will develop and operate the new plant. Malibu will invest 100 m euros in the factory, which will be in place before the end of 2008.

The equipment will be supplied by Applied Materials. The plant, which will be located in Osterweddingen, will produce ultra-large panels, with 5.7 square meters (2.2m x 2.6m), with a peak power of 460 Wp. Through larger panels, manufacturing costs will be reduced and the nominal production duplicated, according to Applied Materials.
