Epishine Opens New Solar Cell Factory

Swedish Energy company, Epishine announced the opening of its new solar cell factory with the capacity to produce one hundred million modules per year. This state-of-the-art roll-to-roll factory is Epishine’s response to growing market interests.
 
Epishine’s new factory uses roll-to-roll printing technology for high volume production of indoor solar cells. The factory is dedicated to capturing indoor light to make self-powered electronics, which eliminates the need for cables, disposable batteries, creating a smarter way to power electronics. 
 
CEO Anders Kottenauer said, “Epishine’s commitment to pioneering in our field is evident in important milestones like this. This expansion showcases our readiness to meet the demands of our customers and a broader audience.”
 
Incorporating roll-to-roll technology, Epishine can produce sustainable modules in an unprecedented scale, making disposable batteries unnecessary.
 
“We have developed our unique roll-to-roll printing process of indoor solar cells with comparably low temperatures and efficient material usage, where for instance one gramme of the semiconductor material is sufficient for several square metres of solar cells,” explained CTO Jonas Bergqvist.
 
“We stand on the threshold of a remarkable transformation. With this new factory, we’re not just expanding; we’re embodying a new paradigm for scalable solar cell manufacturing in the future,” Kottenauer added. 
 
In the new facility Epishine is ready to scale production capacity to annually produce hundreds of millions of solar cell modules. It is also in a strategic location that allows for expansion and quick scaling in the future.
