PES: The last time we spoke you told us about Meyer Burger Technology’s collaboration with Oerlikon and your hopes for that partnership. Can you tell us a little about how that is going and what direction you would like to see it take in the future?
Peter Pauli: We have introduced Solaris and our sales and marketing co-operation with Oerlikon System to a select group of leading solar cell manufacturers in different markets. Solaris was also presented during the last EUPVSEC in Valencia in September 2010 and the customer response was very promising. Every development of customer- specific applications and processes are realised in close co-operation with Oerlikon Systems. The Solaris system is always customised according to the client’s specific need.
