We supply technology
for the energy of the future

As a pioneer in thin-film photovoltaics, we offer products with the highest quality, design and certification standards and cover the entire value chain from basic research to production and sales.

The power of nature as a natural energy supplierPreserving our nature and promoting climate-friendly energy production is what we set out to do many years ago. In doing so, we rely on the oldest energy source with the greatest potential - the sun.

Research & development in our own laboratoryIn our laboratory, new next generation materials and processes are tested up to a size of 30 x 30 cm², characterizations and simulations or outdoor monitoring of local and worldwide test fields are performed in alignment with leading international test laboratories.

Transition to production for maximum useDuring industrialization, laboratory processes are upscaled to industrial facilities, adjustments are made to optimize throughput and reduce costs, and new and further development of in-house production facilities is driven forward.

Extension to large factoriesWhen implementing CIGS technology on an international level, production capacities are scaled up to the giga-watt range. Here, we optimize processes and create the best possible production environment for technology development for standard or novel products.

More about solar factories

Photovoltaic applications for small and large-scale useWith their sophisticated CIGS technology, PowerMax and SKALA modules combine cost-effectiveness with aesthetics and offer great opportunities for climate-friendly energy generation in the B2B, but also in the B2C sector.
