Solar Semiconductor Private Limited (SS) on Wednesday flagged off its first export consignment of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules to Germany. This also marks the start of the company’s commercial production activity at the state government-promoted Fab City.
SS director SSN Prasad said the greenfield project work, which was started in May 2008, completed its first phase. So far, the company has invested about Rs 200 crore in the first phase for creating the production facilities. SS has a 120-Mw module production capacity and 60Mw for solar cells production. It will invest another Rs 400 crore in expanding module line, cell line and thin film production.
Industries secretary B Sam Bob said the government was ready to set up a training unit at the Fab City to meet the demand for trained manpower for the semiconductor and solar industries.
