📋 Tender Overview
Scope of Work:
To Build 200MW CIGS Thin-Film Solar Cell Facility in Flen, Sweden
Description:
The CIGS solar cells are lightweight, flexible, and can be installed on lightweight roofs, providing an alternative to traditional silicon solar modules.
Swedish manufacturer Midsummer has selected a location for its forthcoming 200 MW factory that will produce CIGS thin film solar cells for the European market.
The factory, which is being partially funded by a €32.3 million grant from the EU Innovation Fund, will be located in the municipality of Flen, southeastern Sweden. Midsummer will take over the premises this coming September, provided the EU approves the location and start of the project.
Scheduled to commence production in 2026, the factory will employ around 200 people once fully operational, which is expected by 2028.
Midsummer’s product range focuses on light and environmentally sustainable solar panels for primarily low-load-bearing commercial and industrial roofs that cannot withstand the weight of traditional silicon panels.
