2009 inaugural year, Mustang Solar delivers CIGS equipment package, now in production

SARASOTA, FL - January 6, 2010 – The 2009 inaugural year for Mustang Solar closed with the company reporting completed installations of their CIGS solar cell line, which are now in successful PV production. Mustang is now discussing their solutions with solar cell production customers worldwide, as they ramp up production for 2010.

In late 2008, Mustang Solar was spun out from parent company, Mustang Vacuum Systems which supplies large format PVD and evaporation equipment for industrial applications, such as automotive, lighting, and diamond-like coatings, as well as contract manufacturing and design of custom vacuum systems.  Mustang's background in high volume industrial deposition equipment has enabled Mustang Solar to deliver production line solutions for PV, focused on the CIGS and CdTe solar processes. 

Richard Greenwell, President of Mustang Solar, explains: “We are very excited about our achievements in our first full year of operation.   We’ve been able to draw upon our core competencies of thin film deposition and industrial design, along with our diverse custom tool building experience and technology, to successfully scale customers’ processes to production level, and build equipment that works. We look forward to supplying a proven industrial solution to PV production customers.”
