On april our German portfolio company, Heliatek, officially started its first integrated runs in its organic solar film manufacturing facility. Congratulations to all for hitting this big milestone!
Heliatek was founded in 2006 with the aim of helping to shape a sustainable solar future by developing organic photovoltaics.
A product of its development is HeliaFilm, a solar fabric that has already been tested with various surfaces, including glass, concrete, and PVC membrane.
In 2019, the company installed the largest building-integrated organic photovoltaic system on the roof of a school in La Rochelle, France. It will cover about 15% of the school’s electricity demand.
