Singulus Technologies AG of Kahl am Main, Germany (which makes production equipment for the optical disc and solar sectors) has received the agreed prepayment from its customer China National Building Materials (CNBM) regarding the contract signed on 21 December 2017 for the delivery of five additional CISARIS selenization machines for copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) solar module production, expanding capacity of the factory in Bengbu, Anhui province, from 150MW to 300MW (out of a total planned capacity of 1500MW).

Singulus recently entered into another agreement with a subsidiary of a large, stock-listed energy company and producer of solar modules in China for the delivery of TENUIS II systems for wet-chemical coating processes in CIGS production. The volume exceeds €10m, and prepayment for this project has already been received.

So far in 2018 Singulus has already received over €40m in prepayments for CIGS production equipment orders. “We are thus able to further expand our leading position for the delivery of production machines for CIGS solar modules,” says CEO Dr Stefan Rinck. The firm’s order backlog now exceeds €130m.
