Project Focus: Suniva, Titan Energy complete 1MW solar PV power plant in West Bengal, India
24 November 2009 | By Tom Cheyney | News > Power Generation

Suniva and Titan Energy Systems have completed and commissioned a 1MW solar power plant project in Jamuria, West Bengal, India. Suniva’s monocrystalline-silicon photovoltaic cells power the Titan modules deployed at the site, which the companies say will likely expand by another 250kW early in 2010.

The electricity from the PV system, which was built for West Bengal Energy Development Corp. (a government of West Bengal Enterprise), is transmitted into the power grid of utility provider, viz., DPSCLtd, Seebpore, Asansol. This plant is expected to provide enough power for more than 500 homes and a few coal mines in the local Asansol district.

The project was finished within five months, in spite of several constraints experienced being the first of its kind in India, the companies said.

Neither further details on the PV system itself nor the financial terms of the deal have been disclosed.

“High-efficiency solar technology presents significant advantages in terms of land use and balance of system costs, and Suniva is our key partner for delivering the high power and volumes needed to keep projects reliably moving forward,” said Sankar Chodagam, managing director of Titan Energy Systems.

Over the next five years, Titan plans to develop a series of large-scale projects and installations in Andhra Pradesh, India. Suniva fully supports and looks forward to continuing its collaboration with the fast-growing Indian market.

“As India pursues its significant goals for solar power, innovative solar cell technology will be just as crucial as new system designs and deployment strategies,” said John Baumstark, CEO of Suniva. “We maintain a close and open dialogue with Titan in order to provide them with the best possible technology solutions and look forward to partnering with them in the recently announced 1GW project in Andhra Pradesh.”

Suniva’s is also being integrated into a variety of installations throughout the United States, including a 550kW solar farm in North Carolina and a 10MW development in Georgia. The company recently ramped its second mono-cSi solar-cell production line near Atlanta and has plans to build another factory in Michigan in the future.

Project Focus: 1MW PV system using RIL modules with Suniva cells commissioned on New Delhi stadium
15 April 2010 | By Tom Cheyney | News > Power Generation

*

Solar modules incorporating Suniva's high-efficiency monocrystalline-silicon photovoltaic cells have been installed and commissioned on the rooftop of the Thyagaraj Stadium in New Delhi, India. The 1MW system, said to be the largest rooftop PV power plant in the country, was implemented by Reliance Industries (RIL) Solar Group, which also supplied the PV modules. The new "model green" stadium will be one of the primary venues of the upcoming Commonwealth Games.

The Thyagaraj power plant was developed using 3640 280Wp modules. The project is expected to generate around 1.4 million kWh of electricity per year to fulfill the power requirements of the stadium, with surplus electricity being fed into the grid at 11KV.

Rabi Satpathy, president of RIL's solar unit, said that the overall footprint of the rooftop system on the stadium needed to be minimized, "while ensuring that it would generate enough energy to fulfill the stadium’s requirements. Suniva’s high-performance solar cells deliver more power per cell, which enabled us to build a 1MW plant that surpasses the energy needed in the rooftop space available.”

“The Thyagaraj project is a clear demonstration of Suniva’s prominence in the rapidly growing solar
market in India,” said CEO John Baumstark. “Our continued commitment to increasing solar cell efficiency will enable our great partners like RIL Solar Group to build more powerful plants in any location.”

The Thyagaraj installation is the latest Suniva-powered PV system in India to be announced by the company. Last month, the Norcross, GA-based company said a 3MW array, done in conjunction with Titan Energy, had been commissioned in Karnataka.

Norcross GA (SPX) Jul 08, 2010
Suniva has announced that it has expanded its manufacturing capacity to 170 MW from 96 MW by adding a third cell line at its metro-Atlanta plant.

The new solar cell manufacturing line is now in production and will help the company meet continually increasing worldwide demand for its product. Suniva has also expanded its workforce recently, creating more clean energy jobs in the U.S.

"Demand for our high-efficiency, low-cost solar cells and modules continues to increase rapidly, which is a testament to the quality of Suniva's products"

"Demand for our high-efficiency, low-cost solar cells and modules continues to increase rapidly, which is a testament to the quality of Suniva's products," said John Baumstark, chairman and chief executive officer of Suniva. "We are pleased to have the ability to quickly expand our capacity, maintain a low-cost structure, hire additional employees and help the U.S. lead the new clean-energy economy."

Suniva completed its first 32 MW manufacturing line in November 2008 and simultaneously announced an additional 64 MW line that was completed in 2009.

With its expanding, diverse and skilled workforce, Suniva is producing world-class technology and generating record-setting screen printed solar cell efficiencies both in the lab and in manufacturing. The company's cell production is sold out through 2010.

von GTM:

Suniva, as reported by GTM Research analyst Shyam Mehta, began commercial production of its monocrystalline cells in late 2008 and "unlike many struggling PV startups that entered the market around that time, the company has gone from strength to strength over the last 18 months" with "one of the quickest production ramps of any Western PV company." Suniva went from an initial 32 megawatts to 96 megawatts to a current 170 megawatts of cell capacity, and is sold out for 2010. The company has its own paste and texture recipes, is able to customize and optimize every layer of the cell design to its own specifications, and has leveraged its considerable R&D experience to optimize each processing step to a high degree. While Suniva is clearly not going to overtake SunPower or Sanyo any time soon, reports suggest that the company has a much better cost structure compared to these two players, one that is more in line with low-cost manufacturers. That, combined with its current efficiency advantage over other firms, makes it competitively positioned for right now. A 19-percent-efficiency cell is in the works and should maintain competitiveness in the near future as well. "The key question is whether the company can maintain this advantage going forward, given that major Chinese players are hell-bent on playing catch-up," according to Mehta.

Shunfeng acquires majority stake in Suniva for US$57.8 million

By Tom Kenning - 13 August 2015


Suniva also said it had started the 200MW expansion, that was announced in July 2014.

Clean energy firm and PV developer Shunfeng International Clean Energy (SFCE) has acquired a majority stake (63.13%) in US-based solar cell and module manufacturer Suniva with an investment of US$57.76 million.

Shunfeng, which owns module manufacturer Wuxi Suntech, will make a cash contribution of US$12 million to Suniva with the remainder of the US$58 million to be settled through the issuance of more than 70 million shares.

An SFCE spokesperson told PV Tech that the cash and shares would be used for "US market expansion”.

In a filing on the Hong Kong stock exchange, Shunfeng said the acquisition “could further strengthen the company’s global position in high efficiency cells manufacturing at affordable costs, and more importantly enable the company to reap the huge potentials of the solar market in the United States”.

In July 2014, Suniva announced it would expand its US manufacturing capacity by 200MW. Suniva today announced it had started this same expansion, and targets a total capacity of 400MW. The SFCE spokesperson said the expansion would involve cells and modules.

Finlay Colville, head of Solar Intelligence at PV Tech’s publisher Solar Media, said: “Suniva has been somewhat of an anomaly since its formation, largely focusing on domestic module supply, and being one of the few cell makers to have production within the US. While the injection of funds from China may appear to be good news, when this will really materialise and in what format, remains to be seen.”

Colville added that Shunfeng’s strategy regarding the US market was interesting, given that peers across Asia, including c-Si manufacturers in Korea and Southeast Asia have amassed enough supply deals with US installers and EPCs in the past 12-18 months to not need to look into US-based manufacturing facilities.

Shunfeng’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2014, said that the company sold 645MW modules globally, but just 26.1% of the company's total revenue was from overseas.

Colville said: “Whether Shunfeng's approach is successful will ultimately take much more than accessing domestic manufacturing facilities or indeed adding new capacity. Whether Shunfeng can secure volume business supply is yet to be seen, a situation that may confine deliveries to regional one-off deals on a case-by-case basis.”

However, John Baumstark, chairman and chief executive officer of Suniva, said: “This expansion was encouraged by the US market’s interest in high-quality, high-value American-made solar products.”

The Hong Kong stock exchange filing also said that Suniva had a net loss after taxation of US$44.4 million in 2013, which was followed by a net loss of US$15.5 million in 2014. Meanwhile the audited total asset value of Suniva as at 31 December 2014 was around US$74.6 million.
