Spire was awarded the Solar Industry Award for "Best Turnkey Solar Factory Provider" by Solar, a PV Management Magazine. The Award was created to recognize the whole value chain and those people, products, and services that will develop innovative manufacturing and product approaches that have the potential to change the way we live.

Spire Solar was chosen after a fourteen-week campaign, voted on by industry professionals. Mark Willingham, VP Marketing, accepted the award on behalf of Spire Corporation at the 24th EU PVSEC in Hamburg, Germany.

Accepting the award, Mr. Willingham said "It is an honor to win this award and be named the best in the world at providing turnkey factory solutions for high volume module production. At Spire, we judge ourselves s not only on the highest quality equipment and lowest cost of ownership; but on the commercial success of our customers as module and cell producers." Spire's Turnkey customers are among the best suppliers in the world and expanding rapidly with the industry.

Mr. Willingham continued "The German people created the modern solar market by creating great demand for PV when prices were high; so it is a particular honor to win here in Europe against such strong European competitors. Now that the scale of the industry has grown and pricing is dropping rapidly toward grid parity, Spire is proud to carry the torch to the fastest growing market segments in the United States, India, China and beyond."
