Singulus Powers Roltec's Polish Solar Expansion with CIGS Tools

• Singulus Technologies powers Roltec's solar future with cutting-edge vacuum sputtering systems, boosting Europe's renewable energy with advanced CIGS technology in Poland.

Singulus Technologies AG is supplying advanced vacuum sputtering systems to Roltec's new 50-MW CIGS thin-film solar module facility in Wroclaw, Poland. The equipment, crucial for depositing back contact and buffer layers on glass substrates, will be installed in 2025. This project is part of an EU-funded initiative to enhance Europe's renewable energy supply chain.

Roltec's facility, under construction since late last year, focuses on CIGS technology, which can be integrated into tandem photovoltaic systems as a bottom cell. Both companies see potential in developing tandem PV solutions, expanding their collaboration beyond CIGS technology.

How will Singulus Technologies' systems impact Roltec's CIGS solar module production in Poland?

• The advanced vacuum sputtering systems from Singulus Technologies will enhance the efficiency and quality of Roltec's CIGS solar module production by ensuring precise deposition of back contact and buffer layers.
  
• The systems will contribute to increased production capacity, enabling Roltec to meet the growing demand for CIGS solar modules in Europe.
• By improving the production process, the systems will help reduce manufacturing costs, making CIGS modules more competitive in the market.
  
• The collaboration between Singulus Technologies and Roltec will foster innovation in tandem photovoltaic systems, potentially leading to higher efficiency solar solutions.
  
• The installation of these systems aligns with the EU's goals to strengthen the renewable energy supply chain, supporting energy independence and sustainability in the region.
  
• The project will create job opportunities in the renewable energy sector in Poland, contributing to local economic growth.
• The partnership may pave the way for future technological advancements and collaborations in the solar energy industry, particularly in the development of next-generation solar technologies.
