Poseidon Solar Services Pvt Ltd, a subsidiary of Solar-Fabrik AG opened its new silicon recycling facility in Chennai.. The plant located adjacent to the existing facility will increase the capacity of silicon processed to more than 600 MT/annum. This silicon can be used to produce approximately 75MW of solar panels. The silicon recycled by Poseidon is used to fill in the severe demand-supply gap of polysilicon that is crucial to the red hot solar PV industry.

The new plant is a modern world class facility that has an automated line for silicon processing. All processing is done such that there is no exposure of humans to any toxic materials. "This plant is unique, because it is only one of a handful of such dedicated plants worldwide for silicon re-processing and it is the only one in the world with an automated line" comments Christoph Paradeis, CEO of Solar-Fabrik AG.

Poseidon has also installed a 25 KWp PV system on the roof of its new facility.

The new system is made of a mixture of different types of mono and multicrystalline modules, the solar cells for which have been provided by Q-Cells AG.
