Merrimack NH (SPX) Apr 09, 2008
GT Solar Incorporated has announced that it has entered into a contract to supply The Silicon Mine B.V. (TSM), of the Netherlands, with polysilicon reactors and converters worth approximately $91M. The equipment will be used by TSM in conjunction with its announced plans to launch the first solar grade silicon plant in the Netherlands, expected to open in late 2009.

The contract is for GT Solar's advanced technology, 48 rod, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactors and silicon tetrachloride (STC) hydrogenation conversion units used to manufacture polysilicon. Polysilicon is the primary raw material used in the production of solar panels worldwide.

GT Solar CEO, Thomas Zarrella, said, "We are pleased to announce this latest contract with TSM. This contract represents the first installation of GT Solar's polysilicon reactors in Europe. This is further confirmation of GT Solar's key role in providing technology to meet the global demand for solar energy."

TSM President Gosse Boxhoorn noted, "We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with GT Solar as we start to build our business as a key provider in the photovoltaic supply chain. GT Solar has the proven resources and know-how we need to achieve our goals."
