Activ Solar GmbH is an Austrian company, headquarterd in Vienna focused on the production of high-puity polysilicon for the Solar PV Industry and the development of of large scale photovoltaic installations. The company is 100% controlled by shareholders [1]
History
Activ Solar was founded in 2008 in Vienna, Austria as a private limited company. At the same year, it acquired 74.99% stake in PJSC Semiconductor Plant located in Zaporozhye, Ukraine.[1]
Polysilicon
Activ Solar produces polysilicons at PJSC Semiconductor Plant, a subsidiary of Activ Solar located in Zaporozhye, Ukraine. The production of semiconductor materials at the original Zaporozhye Titan and Magnesium Plant dates back to 1935. The facility formed the foundation of PJSC Semiconductor Plant, which started producing semiconductor-grade silicon in 1964. The plant was also the only manufacturer of high-purity trichlorosilane in the Soviet Union.
PV Project Development
Activ Solar develops finances and realizes large-scale solar energy projects. It has installed three solar parks with more than 120 MWp of installed capacity in the Crimea. In the end of 2010, Activ Solar completed construction of the 7.5 MW Rodnikovoye Solar Park, in October 2011 the 80 MW Okhotnykovo Solar Park, and in November 2011 the 60 MW Perovo Solar Park, all located in Crimea, Ukraine.[2][3]
R & D
Together with Diamond Aircraft Industries Activ Solar owns a research and development join-venture.
