By April 2008, both partners will be completing stage one of their joint wafer production facility in Jena with total capital expenditures of approx. �50 million. This move will result in the initial creation of 140 new jobs at the site. Production capacity is estimated to reach around 100 megawatts (MW) per year already by the end of 2008. Wafer fabrication in the new facility will rely on conventional technology; thus individual wafers are sawed from multicrystalline silicon ingots. Manufacturing equipment will be installed in a two-story building with a floorspace of over 7,500m2.

California School Districts "Expel" Rising Utility Bills With Solar Electricity

Working with 3rd Rock Systems & Technologies, located in Burlingame, both school districts are in the process of installing, combined more than 800 kilowatts (kW) of solar electric power across multiple schools within each district. The solar electric, or photovoltaic (PV) systems manufactured by RWE SCHOTT Solar, Inc. (RSS), will meet 85 to 95 percent or more of each school's electrical needs. Low-cost finance options ensure each district has a known monthly payment approximately equal to each school's current utility bill. Over time, the systems will pay for themselves freeing up funding for other student programs.

State and local government codes restrict the type and duration of investments that cities can make, with safety of public funds the priority. However, these limitations usually result in low rates of return. But, investing in the market is not the only way to help cities make the best use of available cash. The Director of Finance for the City of San Carlos, Richard Averett, opted to review a proposal to install an RWE SCHOTT Solar photovoltaic (PV) system on the city's corporation yard as an investment rather than as a purchase with a payback period. The result? The City now has a 60kW system, installed by EMCOR(R) Energy & Technologies of San Francisco, that returns its cost, plus interest and a little more than $100,000 over the life of the installation, beating out a comparable 25-year cash investment using a 4.5 percent rate of return. In addition, the system has returned some public recognition in the form of an award from The Public Technology Institute (PTI) at its annual Congress for Technology Leadership event.
