Blaubeuren, June 30, 2008 - centrotherm
photovoltaics AG is concluding an exclusive agreement with QIMONDA 
for Itarion Solar Lda. The recently formed joint-venture between 
QIMONDA and the CENTROSOLAR Group is planning to create production 
facilities for silicon-based solar cells at Vila do Conde in 
Portugal. In doing so, Itarion is relying on expertise from 
Blaubeuren: the master agreement with centrotherm photovoltaics AG, 
as a leading supplier of technology and services for the 
manufacturing of solar cells and solar silicon, envisages the 
delivery of turnkey production lines. This major order includes 
several lines with a project planning period of two years and 
guaranteed levels of cell efficiency and production capacity. 
Delivery of the first line will prospectively be in early 2009. "We 
are pleased to accompany QIMONDA and the CENTROSOLAR Group in their 
entry into solar cell production, and to provide a basis for 
cost-efficient production of solar cells with our technology and 
know-how," commented Hans Autenrieth, Management Board member of 
centrotherm photovoltaics AG. "The order in Portugal confirms our 
growth strategy. Together with the other orders we have won over 
recent months, it proves that we have positioned ourselves 
successfully in the South European growth market."
