With pilot plant inaugurated, Swiss PV start-up Flisom ready
Dübendorf, St. Gallen und Thun, 12.6.2015 - At the inauguration of its pilot production plant near Zurich, Swiss start-up Flisom that develops innovative technologies for manufacturing flexible low-cost, high-performance thin film solar cells based on CIGS (copper-indium-gallium-(di)selenide) secured another investment of CHF 10 million following an earlier investment of CHF 42.5 million just two years ago. With its roll-to-roll manufactu-ring the company is capable of producing 1 meter-wide rolls – an unprecedented capacity. A long-standing research cooperation between Flisom and Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, was the basis for this successful scale-up from lab to industrial levels.
