Industry news in brief: financing for Midsummer's thin films in Sweden, Canada's Heliene increases its capacity
Sweden's Midsummer receives €32 million from the European Union
to build a 200 MW CIGS thin-film production plant in Sweden (photo). The plant is due to produce thin-film cells suitable for European roofs in the first quarter of 2026.
The company announced in March that the perovskite-CIGS solar cell had achieved an efficiency of 24.9%.
Midsummer is also building a solar cell and panel production plant in Italy, independent of the Swedish factory.
