Solarvalue kick-starts its solar grade silicon plant in the US

Germany's Solarvalue has announced that the plant will process and purify solar-grade silicon. The company expects a new innovative production process to reduce waste and increase efficiency in solar cells.

During the coming months, experts at Solarvalue will work in order to optimize the purification process, according to a press release by the company. Results will then be implemented at industrial scale, especially in the new manufacturing plant currently being built in Ruse, Slovenia.

This new plant is expected to be completed by the second half of 2008. It will produce solar grade silicon that is expected to significantly reduce solar cells production costs, according to Mr John Mott, Solarvalue's COO of Solarvalue Proizvodnja d.d. in Slovenia.
