Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed, however Aurora Solar Technologies states that “shipment of the balance [will] follow in accordance with additional purchase orders.”

“We are excited to see another endorsement of our unique capabilities for solar cell characterization from an industry leader,” said Aurora CEO Michael Heaven. “We look forward to working with REC Group to realize the benefits of the inline measurement systems for rapid ramp-up of the new lines and to optimize the manufacturing yield of these advanced cells.”
