The chemical company Nitol and the Irkutsk State Technical University have filed an application for establishing a nano centre in Irkutsk (Siberia) to Rusnano.

SEMI membership will reinforce the development of Nitol Solar and the entire PV industry in Russia, and will invest into growing integration of the global PV societies.

The officials discussed a NITOL Group project to produce polysilicon and monosilane in Usolye-Sibirskoye in the Irkutsk region.

Nitol presented their polysilicon and monosilane project at the SILICON-2009 Conference, which was held at the most prominent Russian scientific and educational center - Novosibirsky Academic town.

Nitol project is a successful example of the strategy implementation in Irkutsk region.

Nitol Solar started making polysilicon for solar panels almost by accident. Now it's helping Russia become a force in the industry

Rusnano is investing 4.5 billion rubles in the Nitol Solar plant.

On February 4-6 the Nitol Solar presented a project at the Innovation Forum-2009, that would lay down a resource foundation for the solar power industry, microelectronics and other high-tech industries.

The Supervisory Council of the Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies has confirmed the Corporation's participation in a project aiming to construct Russia's first large-scale complex producing polycrystalline silicon and monosilane.

The Irkutsk State Technical University (IrSTU) and the Nitol Company signed an agreement on cooperation in the field of development and implementation of nanotechnologies.

The Nitol Solar Project on the establishment and development of a high-tech PCS production facility in Russia has received public recognition at the 9th Trade and Economic Forum "Innovative ways of enhancing Russia’s competitiveness" held at the Kremlin Palace of Congresses in Moscow.

Initial production volumes of polysilicon supplied by Nitol Solar were used to manufacture solar modules by Trina Solar after undergoing a series of quality tests.

Polysilicon producer Nitol Solar has signed a US$50 million financing deal with IFC.

Nitol Solar has participated in the 23rd European exhibition and conference on photovoltaic - EU PVSEC; the exhibition was held in Valencia, Spain (September 1-5, 2008).

According to Worldwatch Institute, the amount of energy produced by solar cells in 2007 shot up 51 percent to 3,733 megawatts, while installations of solar cells have increased five-fold in the past five years. An industry report claims that the solar cell industry raised $10 billion and generated $17.2 billion in global revenues in the last year alone. Solar energy currently provides a very small percentage of global energy consumption (about 1%) but that number has been rising rapidly as a response to rising energy costs and environmental awareness.
