Midsummer AB of Järfälla, near Stockholm, Sweden – a provider of turnkey production lines as well as flexible, lightweight copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) thin-film solar panels for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) – has received a repeat order from Asia for production equipment (for delivery in first-half 2019) worth about SEK30m. A partial payment will be made within 30 days.

Midsummer says it is seeing greater global interest in its proprietary compact system for fast, fully automated manufacturing of CIGS solar cells.

“This repeat order is a strong indication that interest in our advanced solutions for the production and installation of thin-film solar cells is growing in the Asian market,” says CEO Sven Lindström. “Several strong global trends support our business idea and operations, not just the general need to switch to renewable energy, but also technical and regulatory developments that make thin solar panels attractive in urban environments,” he adds. “Now, we intend to strengthen our production capacity further to meet the increased demand for our products.”
