    With €80 million in new investments and new projects, Heliatek will expand annual production by one million square meters.

    David Savastano, Editor04.25.17

A 2006 spinoff from the Technical University of Dresden (IAPP) and the University of Ulm, Heliatek has steadily improved the performance of its solar modules, reaching a record conversion efficiency of 13.2% for an OPV multi-junction cell, and is now heading into large-scale manufacturing.
