The Location
ESTELUX will be based in Ferrara (Italy), a city in the north-central part of Italy, in the region called Emilia-Romagna.

Introduction to Ferrara (from Wikipedia)
Ferrara is situated 50 km north-northeast of Bologna, on the Po di Volano, a branch channel of the main stream of the Po River, located 5 km north. The town has broad streets and numerous palaces dating from the 14th century, when it hosted the court of the house of Este.
The town is still surrounded by more than 9 kilometres of ancient walls, mainly built in the 15th and 16th centuries. The most prominent building is the square Castello Estense(built after 1385 and partly restored in 1554), in the centre of the town, a brick building surrounded by a moat, with four towers. Near it is the hospital of Santa Anna, where the poet Torquato Tasso was confined during his attack of insanity (1579–1586). The Palazzo del Municipio, rebuilt in the 18th century, was the earlier residence of the Este family. Close by it is the cathedral of San Giorgio, consecrated in 1135, when the Romanesque lower part of the main façade and the side façades were completed. A little way off is the university, which has faculties of law, architecture, pharmacy, medicine and science; the library has valuable manuscripts, including part of that of the Orlando Furioso and letters by Tasso. In the university took their degree Nicolaus Copernicus (1503) and Paracelsus. Ferrara has many early Renaissance palaces, often retaining terracotta decorations; few towns of Italy as small have so many, though most are comparatively small in size. Among the finest palaces is Palazzo dei Diamanti, so named for the diamond points into which the facade's stone blocks are cut. It houses the National Picture Gallery, with a large collection of the school of Ferrara, which first rose to prominence in the latter half of the 15th century, with Cosimo Tura, Francesco Cossa and Ercole dei Roberti.

The Ferrara Chemical Site
ESTELUX will grow on the site of a chemical plant, where will be constructed also a large chemical company Degussa, which will provide the main raw material (trichlorosilane) for ESTELUX.
Degussa will produce trichlorosilane, which ESTELUX will be provided with.

ESTELUX will be the first link of a complete PV supply chain starting with the production of solar grade silicon and ending with the installation of PV systems.
