Alfredo Puche, CTO and VP of Siliken, the Spanish solar energy company, announced at an inauguration event at the Intersolar Exhibition in Tijuana that Siliken has started manufacturing solar modules in Tijuana, after an investment of US$25 million and with an initial labor force of 180 people from Tijuana.
Alfredo Puche reported that Siliken-Tijuana Mexico started operations in the first quarter of 2011 with an ambitious operations plan to manufacture solar panels for the US market, with plans to grow within 2 years to 500 people, a sign of the confidence in Tijuana's capabilities.
“We are inaugurating our fifth plant in the world and second in Latin America. Siliken Tijuana has three production lines. Last February works started to create an industry around renewable energy with solar silicon purification for power development”, Alfredo Puche further said.
The sales team of Siliken showed its clients the newest products, such as the online configurator energyBox and its Premium Partner Program.
Siliken chose the Intersolar Exhibition to present the new 72-cell module to its clients for the first time. With these modules, 20 percent fewer modules need to be installed, generating the same power and saving operating costs.
