Midsummer and Imperalum, a Portuguese supplier of bitumen membrane roofing solutions, signed a letter of intent to provide solar integrated roofs to commercial customers in Spain, Portugal and Portuguese speaking countries in Africa.
Imperalum will also install the Midsummer SLIM solar panel on its facility in Montijo, Portugal.
“We see a strong interest in Midsummer’s products on the Spanish and Portuguese market and this new collaboration with Imperalum further strengthens our presence on the Iberian Peninsula, making our products more available to customers in the area”, said Sven Lindström, CEO, Midsummer. “Our products are very well suited for the local architecture, weather and solar conditions in southern Europe and will be perfectly integrated into Imperalum’s products”
Imperalum is also a leader in sales of thermal and acoustic insulation, drainage and geotextiles on the Portuguese market.
The new Midsummer/Imperalum collaboration offers customers on the Iberian Peninsula the opportunity to install a bituminous product integrated with Midsummer’s advanced solar panels to make the roof produce energy.
The Midsummer solar panels WAVE, BOLD and SLIM feature thin-film technology with their discrete design, 2mm thickness, lightweight and the capacity to bend.
Midsummer’s solar panels also have a minimal carbon footprint that is nearly 90 % smaller than conventional solar panels.
