Solar CIGS
Financial Overview
Extremely scalable thin-film 200MW lightweight flexible module manufacturing project
Utilize a unique turn-key manufacturing line for making specialized solar modules (lightweight/flexible/durable)
Radically different supply-chain from conventional Si modules
Does not use silicon refined in China (forced-labor)
Environmentally friendly production flow
Can be profitably manufactured outside China
3 products introduced in Europe with good market uptake
BOLD:Â for large area roof-tops (industrial applications)
WAVE/SLIM:Â for installation on tiled roofs (residential)
For larger facility roofs, particularly with weight limitations
No Penetration needed; fixed with adhesive
Lightweight 3 kg/m2
World’s first solar panel adapted for roof tiles
Can be integrated with customer’s current rooftop
Can be integrated with metal roofs
Panels fixed with adhesive
Panel lengths up to 4 meters
DUO - the leading production system for flexible thin-film solar cells
Patented and produced in-house by Midsummer
Used in in-house panel production
Turn-key line with process included
Proven production method based on mature technology based on optical-disc manufacturing
Roadmap for higher module efficiencies based on new compositions and interface layers
Tandem cell development UCLA’s perovskite team
BOLD - Lightweight Module for Large-area Roofs
Optimal for large industrial buildings and sports stadiums where weight constraints and fire safety makes it impossible to install traditional solar cells
No penetration of waterproofing layer
No weight constraint issues
Increases the roof’s lifetime
WAVE
First ever solar panel made to fit over roofing tiles
No building permit necessary
Easily installed on existing rooftops
No roof-top penetration
Most aesthetically pleasing solar module on the market
SLIM
Fixed to metal-roofs using adhesive
Fastest/lowest-cost installation
Custom lengths possible
No roof-top penetration
