ForewordSolar power creates independence. The sun gives us an unlimited amount of energy, there are no conflicts over resources and even remote regions can be sup-plied with energy. The goal of SolarWorld AG is the-refore to attain a worldwide, environmentally friendly and safe energy supply.

We are working on severely reducing the costs for so-lar power generation in all markets, allowing everyone to use locally generated solar power and the opportu-nity for sustainable development.

From the very beginning, we focused on our core busi-ness of photovoltaic technology. Today we are among the largest integrated solar power technology groups worldwide with production, sales and research loca-tions on four continents. The term “integrated” means that we cover the entire solar value chain from ultra-high-purity silicon to turn-key systems. On the next few pages, we invite you to accompany the creation of a solar module in the SolarWorld AG production sites at Freiberg in Saxony.

With sunny greetings,

THE HISTORY OF THE FREIBERG LOCATION IS A SUCCESS STORY FROM SILVER TO SILICON.

1994

PHOTOVOLTAIC TECHNOLOGYSince 1994 wafers have been produced from solar-grade silicon in Freiberg. With the take-over by SolarWorld AG in the year 2000, an expansion started to build what is today a fully integra-ted production site.

SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCTIONThe entire semiconductor production for the former GDR and the states of Eastern Europe was concentrated in Freiberg, with research work also apriority. As far back as in the 1960s, single-silicon crystals were grown here.

SolarWorld I Silicon production and preparation

Silicon productionSilane is used to make solar-grade silicon – the raw ma-terial that forms the basis for the generation of solar po-wer. SolarWorld developed a new processing technology to produce solar-grade silicon at reduced costs. The high-value solar-grade silicon is made from silane, a gas consis-ting of silicon and hydrogen. The silane gas is supplied by

8

Evonik Degussa GmbH; the technology for its decomposi-tion into silicon is an in-house development by Joint Solar Silicon GmbH – a joint venture of Evonik Degussa GmbH and SolarWorld AG. The energysaving production of sili-con with an in-house process makes the valuable raw ma-terial available on short notice and over the long term.

A robot places a patented connection socket on the rear side of the laminate. The connection socket is manufac-tured in a single cast with welded joints rather than sol-dered joints for maximum hold, even under the highest loads.

6 fRAmE

The laminates are transported to the fully automated framing station and then pressed together with an alu-minum frame and matching corner angles. The frame is filled with two component silicone to make the solar module even more weather-resistant and prevent water from seeping in later.

Research At a technology center located in Freiberg, unique within Europe, SolarWorld Group conducts research along the entire value chain for photovoltaics. SolarWorld Inno-vations GmbH research company works closely with facilities in Freiberg that specialize in semiconductor materials. Since 2003, SolarWorld has supported 282 students, diploma students and graduate students during their academic training programs as well as with their theses. Research projects at the Institute

for Physics and Chemistry are supported by the “SolarWorld Endowment Fund for Academic Research”. Since 2006, SolarWorld has awarded its “SolarWorld Junior Einstein Award” to up-and-coming scientists who have submitted research on photovoltaics and other closely related topics.

THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, SOLARWORLD COOPERATES WITH ABOUT 20 UNIVERSITIES AND PRIVATE RESEARCH INSTITUTES.

SOLARWORLD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES HOLD APPROXIMATELY 330 PATENTS AND APPLICATIONS IN 150 PATENT FAMILIES.

27

DevelopmentResearch in Freiberg focuses on practical development and optimization of production processes, with the aim of lowering production costs, increasing efficiency and improving quality and process reliability. New techno-logies and production processes are developed, tested and promptly transferred into mass production facili-ties at our state-of-the-art research and development center. Laboratories for development, reliability testing and quality assurance permanently monitor the mate-

rials, semi-finished products, prototypes and products from production. Our research achievements can be seen at all levels of the value-added chain, for examp-le, in reduction of raw materials used in wafer produc-tion, higher solar cell efficiency as well as continuously improved performance and durability of solar modules. The research work is supplemented by more than 500 improvement proposals from employees as part of our company suggestion plan.

SolarWorld I Performance and quality

28

We are absolutely certain about the performance and durability of our modules, as all the used materials, prototypes and finished products are subjected to strenuous tests. For example, the heavy loads caused by wind pressure and snow loads are simulated in our module test laboratories by attaching suction cups on the top and rear of the module and alternatingly subjecting it to pressure and suction. Unlike the stan-dard test, which applies a load of up to 5,400 Pascal,

SolarWorld’s test subjects solar modules to a load of 11,000 Pascal. This measure corresponds to a water column of 1.12 meters. UV exposure over 25 years, the temperature differences of 9,125 day and night cycles as well as the impact of hail or lightning strikes also can be simulated. After all tests are conducted, the modules must still satisfy the strict SolarWorld cri-teria regarding electrical safety, mechanical stability and visual quality.

CO₂

A solar cell is the basic element for the production of solar modules; cells are made from wafers.

Abbreviation of carbon dioxide; pollutants that are produced during generati-on in power stations. During its service life, a solar module prevents approxi-mately 25 times more CO₂ than is required to produce it.

Physical process that leads to an even distribution of particles and thus to a complete intermixture of two substances.

The local utility is obliged to buy electricity generated by renewable sources and pay for it according to the current rate.

Grid parity will be achieved when electricity from a photovoltaic plant can be offered at the same retail price as electricity from the wall socket.

Complex electronic component that converts direct current into alternating current, is required in solar power technology to feed power into the grid.

Abbreviation of kilowatt hour; one kWh is equivalent to 1,000 watts over a period of one hour.

kW = kilowatt; the p stands for “peak” as in peak performance. Yet, the “p” does not indicate the peak output but the rated output according to standard test conditions.

Term describing an electrically connectable unit of solar cells, including wea-ther protection (glass), junction box, embedding material (film) and framing.

Silicon grown as a single crystal; the crystal structure on the interior is homo-geneous, which is shown by even coloring on the outside.

Abbreviation of megawatt; this value measures the output capacity of a solar generating plant: 1 MW = 1,000,000 watt.

SO THAT PHOTOVOLTAIC DOES NOT REMAIN A SECRET CODE.

A physical effect that generates voltage in a semiconductor plate consisting of two poles. Electricity flows when connected to a consumer. Photo (Greek) = photos: light; volt = unit of electrical voltage. Therefore: voltage through light.

Crystal structure of silicon in which several crystals solidify during casting. Poly-crystal can be recognized by its visible grain boundaries.

Solid body is viewed as both a conductor and a non-conductor; the conducti-vity can be specifically influenced by injecting other atoms (doping) from dif-ferent main chemical groups, e.g. phosphorus, and boron.

The raw material silicon is used for the production of solar cells. Silicon is the second most common element in the Earth’s crust and is found in sand, for example.

The energy generated is stored in batteries and consumed later. These plants are not connected to the power grid.

The standard test conditions are the conditions under which the electrical and voltage characteristics of a module cell are measured and then entered in the module data sheet. Standard Test Conditions = 1,000 W/ m², 25°C cell/module temperature, sun spectrum AM = 1.5.

Assembly systems for solar modules that make the installed module field track the movement of the sun so to generate extra yield; singleaxis systems rotate from east to west; double-axis systems also allow for the elevation an-gle of the sun.

The solar value chain describes the production stages from sand/raw silicon all the way to the finished solar module.
