In addition, by the takeover of the CIGS production line Würth Solar's licenses and know-how – including from the research co-operation venture with the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) – transfered to Manz.
By the know-how bundled in Manz, fully integrated production lines can be delivered to thin-film producers. In future, these lines will boast the lowest costs ever in the manufacture of turnkey thin-film lines. Manz will also present its customers a really credible roadmap of technology and of the costs involved. This guarantees maximum protection on investment in new thin-film factories.
