ACT Aurora Control Technologies Corp. (TSX.V: ACU) has entered into an agreement for a comprehensive commercial evaluation of the recently-announced Decima CD measurement instrument. The agreement, signed at the 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition, is with a global leader in solar cell manufacturing.
As one of the top ten manufacturers in 2011 this company shipped over 700 MWp of solar cells last year. The evaluation will consist of three phases encompassing both laboratory and live production-line testing. It is likely to be followed by a commercial production line rollout upon the satisfactory completion of testing. The Company believes this will provide a top-tier manufacturing line reference installation.
We are excited to be commencing this decisive phase for the Decima, and pleased to be working with a top-tier manufacturer, said Gordon Deans, Auroras President and CEO. Building on our recent joint research project with ISC Konstanz, we are now turning to production line validation and a reference installation. This will confirm our previous trial results under live operations and provide us with valuable data and feedback. The evaluation is planned to commence in the current quarter.
