The announcement coincides with an end-of-October celebration of the company’s 20 years of developing, manufacturing and deploying its technology.

Amonix now has 30MW of annual manufacturing capacity. The automated assembly process is replicable and will serve as the model for the company’s future manufacturing facilities.

High Volume Manufacturing

The Amonix facility in Seal Beach currently manufactures the company’s Amonix 7700 Solar Power Generator, including proprietary MegaModules® incorporating the industry’s highest efficiency multijunction solar cells. Production started late last year in the 78,000 square feet facility; the company recently automated the MegaModule® assembly process to support higher volume production. By employing state-of-the-art robotics, Amonix has improved its MegaModule® manufacturing. According to Vahid Ghassemian, Amonix’s Vice President, Manufacturing, “The new automated MegaModule® assembly delivers multiple benefits; not only does it improve manufacturing throughput and quality, but also the Amonix 7700’s field performance.”

Coinciding with Amonix’s dedication of the expanded Seal Beach production capacity, the company is also celebrating 20 years of developing, manufacturing and deploying its HCPV technology.
