Activ Solar GmbH, headquarterd in Vienna, Austria is engaged in the production of high-purity polycrystalline silicon polysilicon for the solar PV industry and the development of large-scale photovoltaic power stations. The company was founded in 2008 and today has over 1,400 employees worldwide. The company is 100% controlled and owned by P & A Corporate Trust. [1]
Activ Solar is a member of the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA). [2] [3] [4] [5]
Locations
Activ Solar maintains 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 began production of semiconductor-grade polysilicon in 1964. The plant historically was also the only manufacturer of high-purity trichlorosilane in the Soviet Union. After comprehensive refurbishment and modernization, PJSC Semiconductor Plant reached an annual capacity of 2,500 metric tons of polysilicon and 27,000 metric tons of trichlorosilane (HCl3Si). The facility produces ~20 metric tons per annum of monosilicon using legacy equipment with a plan to expand to ~400 metric tons per annum. The factory also produces silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4), Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Hydrochloric Acid. [6]
Solar PV project development
Activ Solar develops, finances and realizes large-scale solar PV installations. Activ Solar has developed three solar PV power stations with more than 120 MWp of installed capacity on the Crimean Penninsula. At the end of 2010, Activ Solar completed construction of the 7.5 MW Rodnikovoye Solar Park [1]. 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 (60 MW) of the Perovo Solar Park, was completed.[7][8]
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. Diamond Activ Solar exhibited a solar aircraft wing at the Paris Air Show 2011 Le Bourget. The wing displayed showcases an innovative PV application for solar technology in light aircrafts. [2]
