Soltecture develops and produces high-quality thin-film solar modules for generating photovoltaic energy. The Berlin company specializes in the family of materials used for chalcopyrite-type semiconductors, which includes copper indium sulfide and copper indium gallium selenide – “CIS semiconductors” for short. Soltecture is a spin-off company from Berlin’s distinguished Hahn-Meitner Institute (now called the Helmholtz Centre Berlin for Materials and Energy), which is Europe’s largest research establishment for thin-film photovoltaics. The company triumphed in transferring its pioneering research activities into industrial applications, whereby commercial modules have been produced and sold since 2005.
