Heliatek Successful at LOPEC, Intersolar Europe

Heliatek GmbH has successfully introduced its products at LOPEC and Intersolar Europe in Munich, reaching out to its customers for the first time with its own booth concept. This is now being followed by a first appearance in the U.S. market with a booth at SEMICON West/Intersolar North America. Heliatek will have opaque and transparent types of HeliaFilm on display and give a talk on its various applications.

Aron Guttowski, Heliatek’s manager of business development, discussed “Organic Solar Films for Active Integrated BiPV Materials” at LOPEC in Munich.

Heliatek has been generating significant interest for its HeliaFilm product range at two important international events this spring. The team was present with products and presentations at LOPEC and Intersolar, and is currently working with key customers on developing pilot projects in combination with different materials mainly for BiPV and automotive applications.
Heliatek’s award-winning HeliaFilm is ideally suited to these applications because it is available as in an opaque or semi-transparent version including a variety of colors. The film is ultra-light, ultra-thin and has a high energy output under real world conditions, thanks to its unique material properties:

Due to its inherent positive temperature behavior, Heliafilm performs best when fully exposed to sunlight, resulting in slightly increased energy output in hot climate conditions or on insulated façades not having any ventilation system.

Heliafilm operates highly efficiently in any orientation, even when not directly facing the sun and receiving only indirect or diffused light. This leads to substantial energy output during hazy or cloudy days and on façade structures that are not ideally oriented towards the optimum angle and direction towards the sun.

Heliafilm is manufactured using a well-established vacuum deposition process, already proven in the OLED display industry. That allows Heliatek a robust and stable ramp-up curve and leads to a well-defined roadmap for scaling up production capacity to an economically feasible scale. The company incorporates these production methods into a cost effective, roll-to-roll process on PET substrates.

Heliatek will be present at Semicon West in San Francisco, CA from July 8-10 at booth 1829 and Thibaud Le Séguillon, CEO, will speak at the Innovation & Application Stage 2014 at the Intersolar North America, Moscone Center , West Hall, Level 3, Alcove 3 on Thursday, July 10. He will introduce “Novel OPV Applications Using HeliaFilm.”
