Sweden-based Midsummer, a leading technology provider of equipment for cost-effective manufacturing of flexible CIGS thin film solar cells, has received a new order for two compact Duo solar cell manufacturing systems.

Due to a strong demand for lightweight, flexible modules, the customer has decided to buy two new Duo manufacturing systems, which will be manufactured at Midsummer’s facilities outside Stockholm, Sweden, and delivered to the client end of 2017, the company said.

This new order is a repeat order from this particular customer, it added.

The Midsummer Duo is a compact, fully automatic deposition system for the manufacturing of CIGS solar panels. It is designed for operational stability and superior material utilisation.

The system is used for the manufacturing of lightweight flexible panels to cater the growing needs for portable panels and roof top installations, said a statement.  

Sven Lindström, CEO, Midsummer, said: “Our Duo system is now the most widely spread manufacturing tool for flexible CIGS solar cells in the world.”

“We have yet again shown that we are the leading provider and supplier of advanced solar energy technology solutions for the production and installation of thin film solar panels. Swedish technology is at the forefront of the race towards a fossil free planet and we look forward to the future,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
