Solarvalue AG and Moser Baer PV  
Announce Partnership  
 
World leader in optical media invests into
Solar Silicon Production facility
Today Solarvalue AG and Moser Baer announced that the latter has  
acquired a 40 % stake in Solarvalue Proizvodnja d.d. Moser Baer will do a
significant investment as a shareholder in this project.
 
Moser Baer India limited, the parent of Moser Baer Photo Voltaic (MBPV), is
the second largest blank optical media company in the world with a global
leadership position in manufacturing high technology products and  
technology commercialisation. The acquisition will guarantee MBPV an
assured supply of high grade solar wafers and help Solarvalue  
increase the production capabilities of its silicon production plant in Ruse,
Slovenia.  
 
“It is a win-win situation for Solarvalue and Moser Baer as both companies
will now have a presence in the entire PV value chain,” says Claudia  
Boehringer, CEO, Solarvalue. “Our short-term production goals and the
next steps for refurbishment remain the same. Moser Baer’s longstanding
experience in commercialising technology and rapid scale up will foster our
position in the global PV market. We also expect further synergies from this
partnership.“
 
Ravi Khanna, CEO, MBPV: “Solarvalue wants to emerge as a leading  
producer of solar grade silicon. It is our goal to be a significant player in the
fast growing PV market space and this acquisition will enable us to access
high quality solar grade silicon at competitive pricing.”  
 
Solarvalue plans to set up a capacity of 4.400 tonnes of solar grade silicon
by the end of 2008. Moser Baer PV had recently announced setting up the
largest Thin Film solar fab in the world and has invested in three US based
technology companies. Its 80MW crystalline Silicon plant has already com-
menced trial production and is well on its way to start commercial produc-
tion in April ’07. The company plans to clearly straddle multiple future
technologies and emerge as an engineering & technology driven company.
MBPV is moving towards technological leadership in this high growth  
industry and is developing a sustainable competitive edge by investing into
disruptive technologies.
