Solarion AG

Solarion develops and produces thin-film solar cells and modules using a proprietary manufacturing process that deposits a thin layer of copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) on the lightest substrate available at reduced deposition temperature.

We strive for technological leadership in the industrial mass production of CIGS thin-film solar cells and modules on flexible plastic substrate material.

Our patented products and production technologies are setting new standards in the conversion of sunlight into electricity. With highly flexible, super-lightweight and ultra-thin solar cells we can realize a cost-efficient photovoltaic power generation in large systems.

SUNLIGHT MEETS INNOVATION

Solarion produces the lightest, thinnest and most flexible solar cells in the world. Our product range also includes semi-transparent cells.

The average efficiency of our CIGS cells is more than 10 percent. Therefore the specific power of solar cells is 1,500 watts per kilogram.

Our current efficiency record of over 14 percent in the production of CIGS solar cells on plastic substrates using a roll-to-roll process shows that there is still a great potential for future increases.

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES. OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE.

Solarion manufactures flexible thin-film solar cells in a low-cost roll-to-roll process. To deposit the absorber layer a patented ion beam-assisted process (IBAD) is used. The energy and material usage is considerably reduced by this technology. At the same time the productivity increases significantly and allows a higher efficiency of solar cells. This low-temperature deposition is particularly suited for coating plastic films. The process can be controlled very precisely. This ensures a consistently high quality of solar cells.

Our innovative solar module technology provides exceptional reliability and durability and ensures a safe capital return.

MISSION STATEMENT

Photovoltaic is the energy source of the future. Solarion contributes significantly to the development of solar energy. Our products enable a sustainable and affordable energy supply with clean solar power and thus contribute to the conservation of natural resources.

Competitive pricing is a crucial factor in the establishment of photovoltaics. Solarion is opening completely new perspectives with its modules: First, our modules are manufactured very inexpensively and, secondly, they are extremely lightweight and unbreakable. Because the modules can be functionally integrated into building roofs and facades this also makes expensive substructures unnecessary.

With this know-how Solarion strives for technological leadership in the industrial production of CIGS thin-film solar cells on flexible substrates.

Solarion continuously develops and enhances its forward-looking technologies.
