COLLABORATION: European solar manufacturing start-up Carbon enlists ISC Konstanz as technology partner

摘要

European solar manufacturing start-up Carbon has partnered with the International Solar Energy Research Center (ISC) Konstanz as it pursues a multi-gigawatt cell manufacturing facility in Europe. A technology agreement signed by the companies will see ISC Konstanz take responsibility for the technology choices taken by Carbon and design the initial steps of its manufacturing processes. It follows Carbon bringing on board French industrial group ACI as one of its founding shareholders in a deal that will see ACI act as an "industrial facilitator". Radovan Kopecek, co-founder and director at ISC Konstanz, said that the need for a competitive solar manufacturing scene in Europe has "never been more important than now".
