Unitech Printed Circuit Board has received two large orders for crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) modules and plans to begin shipments in late third-quarter 2009, according to the company. Unitech expects its revenues from the PV module segment to reach NT$400 million (US$12.1 million) in 2009, a significant increase compared with NT$100 million posted in 2008, the company indicated.
The PCB maker stepped into producing PV modules in mid-2008 and currently maintains an annual capacity of 30MWp, according to the company. Unitech originally planned to expand its PV capacity in 2009, but has decided to defer the expansion due to weak global demand for solar products, the company said.
