Midsummer received the order from an, as yet, un-named multinational corporate customer in the Far East following a successful acceptance test. The company is a provider of equipment for cost-effective manufacturing of flexible CIGS thin film solar cells and the order is for its compact DUO solar cell manufacturing system.
The undisclosed customer previously bought the system in April last year and the present repeat order was place following a successful Acceptance Test carried out at the end of 2015 in which the DUO system exceeded the promised efficiency specification. The new DUO system will be delivered at the end of this year.
“We have again shown that we are the leading provider of turnkey production lines of flexible thin film CIGS” said Sven Lindström, CEO, Midsummer. “Our focus on lightweight flexible modules appeals to the market, as well as our use of sputtering for all layers, and that the production process is an all-dry, all vacuum process.”
Midsummer DUO is a compact, fully automatic deposition system for CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) solar cell manufacturing. It is designed for high throughput, operational stability, optimised layer uniformity and super material utilisation. The company itself provides turnkey production lines for cost-effective manufacturing of thin-film CIGS and has developed a rapid process for the production of these solar cells using sputtering of all layers of the solar cell, allowing for cost-effective and scalable manufacturing worldwide.
