Midsummer, a Swedish solar energy company has received an order from Sunflare for the production of thin-film solar cells worth over $7 million. The solar films will be fitted at a newly built solar panel factory in China.

Production will begin in 2019 at the factory of Midsummer in Järfälla, outside of Stockholm. The delivery will be made later in 2019.

“We are pleased to receive this very significant order for production equipment,” said Sven Lindström, CEO, Midsummer AB. “The type of flexible thin-film solar cells that Midsummer develops production equipment for, is coming into increasing demand worldwide, not least because of its low weight and flexibility which fits well in urban environments. They are also produced in an environmentally friendly manner with simplicity of installation.”

“The demand for our products in the US has exceeded our expectations and we rapidly need to expand our production capacity with the help of our established partner Midsummer,” said Philip Gao, CEO, Sunflare.

He further added that, “Our new products, including our modern design driven solar roof shingle, have attracted a lot of attention in the industry. We are keen on delivering innovative solar in applications that have been largely unserved. The market is facing strong growth and we are very well positioned to capture a big portion of it.”
