WACKER SCHOTT Solar expands silicon crystal production capacity in Jena

* NEW FACTORY BUILDING OFFICIALLY HANDED OVER AFTER JUST NINE MONTHS’ CONSTRUCTION
* WACKER SCHOTT SOLAR PLANS A TOTAL CAPACITY OF 275 MEGAWATTS BY THE END OF 2009
* PLANNED INVESTMENTS OF OVER €300 MILLION AT THE JENA SITE ARE EXPECTED TO CREATE AT LEAST 700 NEW JOBS BY 2012
* PRODUCTION FACILITY IS HOME TO THURINGIA’S LARGEST SOLAR ENERGY COMPLEX

Jena, May 27, 2009 - WACKER SCHOTT Solar GmbH, a joint venture between Wacker Chemie AG (Munich) and SCHOTT Solar AG (Alzenau), officially commissioned a new factory building in Jena today. The building will be used to produce solar-grade silicon crystals. After a construction phase of just nine months, Thuringian Minister President Dieter Althaus and SCHOTT AG CEO Udo Ungeheuer handed over plant’s ceremonial key to the managing directors of WACKER SCHOTT Solar. The new building, which will be fitted with the required production equipment in stages, is a key part of WACKER SCHOTT Solar’s ongoing program to expand the multi-crystalline silicon wafer production. Overall capacity should reach 275 megawatts by the end of this year. The company intends to gradually expand its production capacity to one gigawatt by 2012. Planned investments of over €300 million in the Jena site are likely to create at least 700 new jobs.

The new Jena production facility will rely on time-tested ingot crystallization technology. This involves melting hyper-pure silicon in crucibles and casting multi-crystalline silicon ingots by directional solidification. Silicon wafers sliced from these ingots are the starting material for manufacturing high-quality solar cells. The two-story building has roughly 13,500 m2 of floor-space available for production plant.
