The office space features more than 280m² and the warehouse comprises 4,150m², both facilities are now open for business. As of January 12, 2015, the SCHMID Group began delivering the first systems for the planned production of ingots, wafers, solar cells and modules to San Juan. SCHMID Branch Argentina, founded in San Juan last year, provides spare parts and service support to the EPSE production facility.
