Activ Solar GmbH, headquarterd in Vienna, Austria focuses on the production of high-purity polycristalline silicon polysilicon for the Solar PV Industry and in the development of large scale photovoltaic Power Stations. The company is 100% controlled and owned by P & A Corporate Trust. [1]


Locations

Activ Solar has offices in Vienna and Wiener Neustadt, Austria and in Kiev, Zaporozhye, Simferopol and Odessa, Ukraine.

Polysilicon

Activ Solar produces high-purity polysilicon at PJSC Semiconductor Plant, 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. After a comprehensive refurnishment, PJSC Semiconductor Plant reached a yearly capacity of 2,500 tons of polysilicon, 27,000 MT of Trichlorosilane per annum (HCl3Si), Monosilicon ~20 MT per annum using old equipment with a plan to expand to ~400MT per annum. The factory also produces Silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4), Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Hydrochloric Acid. [2]


PV Project Development

Activ Solar develops finances and realizes large-scale solar energy projects. Activ Solar has developed three solar PV power stations with more than 120 MWp of installed capacity in the Crimean Penninsula. At the end of 2010, Activ Solar completed construction of the 7.5 MW Rodnikovoye Solar Park. In October 2011, Activ Solar developed one of the largest solar power stations in the world, the 80 MW Okhotnykovo Solar Park and in November 2011, Phase III of the 60 MW Perovo Solar Park, was completed.[3][4]

R & D

Activ Solar's R & D efforts are commited to the continious improvement and innovation. Activ Solar maintains a Research & Development joint-venture with Diamond Aircraft Industries with an aim to develop innovative products and applications for the PV industry. Activ Solar exhibited an aircraft wing at the Paris Air Show 2011 in Le Bourget. The wing displayed showcases an innovative PV application for solar cells in aircrafts.
