Athens,
Greece: HelioSphera Receives 9MW Thin Film Order
HelioSphera,
has signed a long term supply agreement with Tecno Spot, an Italian
distributor of photovoltaic modules and components.
In
a first step, the contract includes the supply of a minimum of
9 megawatts of micromorph thin film modules between 2009 and 2010,
and both parties agreed to consider a framework for additional
quantities in 2010.
The
state of the art 60 MW production facility of HelioSphera in Tripolis
(Greece) will be ready to start production and the first deliveries
during the 3rd quarter of 2009, and this contract is an important
step forward in the company’ s south European region route-to-market
strategy.
"Getting
this contract much ahead of start of production is a very positive
sign for us that the market is willing to move to the newest production
technologies, which also have proven a higher energy performance
and the highest guarantee standards. We are also delighted to
distribute our products through Tecno Spot, which has a portfolio
of high quality products and a long track record in Italy as leading
distributor and services provider”, commented Thierry Bodiot,
CEO of HelioSphera.
"Tecno
Spot was searching a new partner in the thin film modules sector
with a product that achieves the highest quality standard and
we were glad to get the chance to introduce this product on the
Italian market. A key point for Tecno Spot to sign the contract
was also the leading edge production standards and the non use
of cadmium” said Gert Gremes, CEO of Tecno Spot.
