Midsummer celebrated the opening of its new state-of-the-art solar energy technology research and development facility, together with a new production line for building-integrated solar roofs, in Järfälla, Sweden.
Sweden’s first astronaut, Prof. Christer Fuglesang formally inaugurated the new facility in the presence of solar energy industry leaders, media, clients and partners.
“I find Midsummer's technology very exciting,” said Fuglesang, a professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. “Solar energy is an important technology and during my stay at the ISS space station, we were of course completely powered by the sun."
Midsummer has now invested in a brand new research and development facility in Järfälla just north of Stockholm, Sweden. That means, among other things, a 1,000 square meter (10,800 sq. ft.) expansion of the company’s factory and head office with more than 100 employees.
The new facility will also house a new production line for energy-producing standing seam metal roofs for the Nordic consumer market.
”At our new research and development facility, the future of 100% environmentally friendly renewable energy technology will be developed,” said Sven Lindström, CEO of Midsummer. “It will be one of the world’s leading laboratories, perhaps the foremost, for research and development of production-friendly CIGS technologies and building-integrated photovoltaics."
