Having told pv magazine in December it hoped to begin deliveries of its Lithuanian-made inter-digitated back contact (IBC) solar cells by April, Finnish manufacturer Valoe today announced a €500,000 order from Czechian module maker Fill Factory.
The Nordic company, which completed a drawn-out acquisition of a 60 MW factory in Vilnius from Lithuanian cell maker Solitek a year ago, said it would begin supplying its IBC products to Fill Factory immediately, under the one-year deal.
Valoe did not state what volume of cells the order comprises but said the client manufactures solar modules for specialist applications including building-integrated PV, street furniture and industrial uses.
