The new production facilities are expected to enable Bosch to provide an extra capacity of 10,000 cells an hour, which works out to around 90 million solar cells a year.
The new 12,000 square-meter plant also includes part of the wafer production, and with the completion of this facility, the company achieved the first step towards an integrated factory which will unite all steps in the production process from silicon ingots to finished modules.
With the new plant, the company is planning to almost triple its nominal capacity to around 630MW peak.
