Hind High Vacuum (HHV), an India-based vacuum technology company, has set up a thin-film solar photovoltaic (SPV) module production line in Canada with a capacity of 10 megawatt a year. The company has also formed a joint venture with Canada’s Solar Source Corporation (SSC) to establish the country’s first thin-film amorphous silicon solar panel manufacturing plant. The plant will be established in Prince Edward Island and have an annual capacity of 120 MW, to be established in four phases, with 30 MW coming up in the phase one. The plant will make panels for the building-integrated, ground-mount and commercial rooftop markets. The joint venture also includes a proposal to build in four phases a 120 MW crystalline silicon solar panel manufacturing facility in Ontario. The total investment on the two projects will be around $240 million.
