The history of italian plant of Merano, into Pufif Power Group since 1st january 2015, began at the end of World War I. Up until 1920 the area where the factory now stands, was swampy and deserted. At that time the swamp was fortuitously drained because in 1923 Montecatini (the most important Italian chemical industry of the age), carried out feasibility studies to determine if a chemical plant could be constructed in the area for the production of chemical fertilizer. The opening of the “Alto Adige Ammonia”, that is now known as the SunEdison Merano Plant was quite a grand event. In addition to local dignitaries, employees, and residents, the the plant was opened by Italian King Vittorio Emanuele III.

SOLLAND SILICON MERANO-ITALY is a global Polysilicon provider which has its roots and legacy in more than 40 years in this industry production.

Polysilicon is the raw material for mono and multi-crystal ingots; ingots are later sliced into wafer, to be used to produce solar cell, module and system to transform sunlight into electricity.

For Polysilicon production the MERANO production plant adopts a process technology based on 36 and 54 rods SIEMENS reactors and a proprietary hydrogen and silane purification process.

For this reason the plant is capable to produce high purity silicon, both for electronic and photovoltaic application.

On Site chlorosilane synthesis plant from Me-Si and Hydrogenation process, to effectively recycle silicon tetrachloride, are the main way to recover inside the plant itself the by-products from polysilicon production and achieve production cost at a competitive level.

The Merano plant has a long history in the field of European (and worldwide) chemical industry:

1920s: Montecatini builds the factory for the production of fertilizers (ammonium sulphate, calcium nitrate, ammonium nitrate) due to the availability of cheap electric power and local raw materials.
1955 – 1972: Pilot processes are begun at the factory for the production of various types of substances such as beryllium oxide, metallic calcium, metallic lithium, lithium carbonate, hyperpure sodium and several semiconductor compounds.
1962: developed the first polysilicon reactor
1974: SMIEL is founded and the factory is completely restructured and reconverted for the exclusive production of hyperpure silicon – from polycrystal to the production of wafers.
2006-2010: with an investment of approximately 350 million dollars the Merano factory is further expanded to meet the growing demand for polycrystalline silicon in the solar photovoltaic market. The project essentially upgrade several sections of the existing chemical plant, expand the capacity installing an impressive chemical purification section, a new reactor room and several production units. The expansion has thus resulted in major building construction as well as work on plant systems, which were designed and built using the finest technologies available for minimizing risks, reduce the operating cost and environmental impact.
2015: Merano’s plant start its activities under the control of Pufin Power Group (CEO Massimo Pugliese)
