Solarion AG

Solarion is developing, producing and offering high-efficient and low-cost thin-film solar modules using Copper-Indium-Gallium-Diselenide (CIGS). Solarion's technology is based on a proprietary ion-beam assisted deposition of the CIGS absorber in a roll-to-roll process. The advantages of this technology are its low deposition temperature, improved solar cell efficiency, higher process speed as well as the lower energy and material costs. The utilization of a flexible carrier enables new fields of photovoltaic applications.

Solarion was founded in 2000 and has established the first European pilot-line for the manufacturing of flexible and highly efficient CIGS thin-film cells on a flexible polymer in 2002. Mass-manufacturing of CIGS based modules is planned for the year 2010.
