Virasa, Calensia在埃及打造太阳能

Virasa能源公司和 Virasa能源公司和两家公司合并成为SilicoTek BV，并在埃及的苏伊士投资建设太阳能项目。最初能源生产阶段的是以混合甲烷硅和多晶硅每年各自生产单位分别600和2500TPA，太阳能组件每年产量每年产50MW。

电站将会在苏伊士湾西北部工业区建设，面积为210,000平方米，还有额外的110,000平方米将会为光伏下游的供应商保留，公司说，电站预计在2012年第四季度开始发电。

两家公司还会联合组成一个研究开发中心，去开发和商业化证明新型的硅基科技。

Virasa Technologies Inc. and Calensia BV have formed a joint venture, SilicoTek BV, to carry out a planned investment of an integrated solar complex in Suez, Egypt. The initial phase of the complex will include monosilane and polysilicon production units with annual capacities of 600 and 2500 TPA, respectively, and a solar module production unit with annual capacity of 50 MW.

The plant will be built on 210,000 square meters in an industrial zone northwest of the Gulf of Suez, which will allow for a next phase of expansion. An additional 110,000 square meters will be reserved for complementary downstream investments in the solar value chain, the companies add. The plant is targeted to begin production in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Virasa and SilicoTek will also jointly build a research and development center to develop and commercially demonstrate new silicon-based technologies.
