Through its SunFab™ Performance Service programme, Applied Materials will leverage its service infrastructure to provide ENN Solar Energy's SunFab Thin Film Line with preventive and corrective maintenance, spare parts management, and analytical services. Experienced local support experts will endeavor to ensure optimal equipment performance and consistency. In addition, Applied and ENN will work together to develop continuous improvement programmes that aim to increase solar module efficiency and lower operating costs.

“ENN sees joining with Applied Global Services as a powerful strategy to optimise the return on our investment in our SunFab line,” says Dr Rick Wan, General Manager of ENN Solar Energy. “This agreement will allow us to replace much of our fixed cost infrastructure with a variable alternative that can flex as the market changes.
