SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES is the world market leader in manufacturing mass production equipment for Optical Discs CD/DVD/Blu-ray. With the acquisition of the solar company STANGL, the foundation was laid to establish SINGULUS in the photovoltaics market. Numerous new products were developed and made marketable at SINGULUS and SINGULUS STANGL SOLAR. The company’s target is to position itself at the forefront for the introduction of new technologies with respect to silicon and thin film solartechnology. SINGULUS will offer a broad product range of new machines for the photovoltaics industry. This selection will provide manufacturers of silicon cells new production technologies and therefore particular cost advantages. Especially during times of cost pressures in the photo- voltaics market the interest regarding new cost efficient concepts increases. Thin Film Solar Technology Thin film solar panels offer specific advantages over to silicon solar technology. Amongst these are the retention of efficiency during periods of weak sun intensity and an easy integration into architectural design elements. SINGULUS is themarket leader for wet-chemical cleaning for CIS and CdTe processes. New production concepts such as the spray ion layer gas reaction (ILGAR®) process, expand the value-added chain in the area of thin film solar technology. The company’s target is to position itself at the forefront for the introduction of new technologies with respect to silicon as well as thin film solar technology. In addition, SINGULUS will progress on the way to a system supplier in this solar segment, as well.
