HelioSphera is a recently-formed solar panel production company based in Greece. HelioSphera's thin-film panel fabrication line is scheduled to start production in early 2009. The main activity of HelioSphera is the production of thin-film photovoltaic panels, using Oerlikon's micromorph technology. The plant will have a fully automated production line that uses glass as raw material and produces a "complete" photovoltaic module ready for installation.A key differentiating element of the Oerlikon turnkey line is the KAI with PECVD technology where the deposition of two layers of micromorph and amorphous silicon is made in a plasma environment. This equipment is installed inside a clean room measuring approx. 1.500 m2 with high cleanness requirements as well as with specific tolerances regarding the ambient termperature and humidity. HelioSphera targets one of the fastest growing markets world wide. Thanks to Oerlikon's innovative thin-film PV technology, solar modules can now be produced about 30% less expensively than conventional wafer based technology.
