3S customer MSR Malaysian Solar Resources is successfully producing highly efficient, TÜV certified solar modules with the first module factory in Malaysia.

Lyss, 7 September 2007. Since the beginning of March, MSR Malaysian Solar Resources in Gambang, Malaysia has been producing crystalline solar modules on a 25 MW line. Less than 5 months after signing the agreement, MSR began production and despatch of the modules. With successful completion of the initial TÜV inspection at the beginning of July, certification of the modules also took place in an absolute record time.

Thanks to the fastest ramp-up on location, a comprehensive transfer of know-how and fast-track certification, MSR (formerly San-Du Solar Energy) has turned the vision of the first production facility for solar modules of this kind into reality in record time. The production line is modular and, without a great deal of work or an interruption of production, can be expanded to 50 MW if required.
