More solar power for all with high efficient technology
As a leading solar energy company, Meyer Burger is committed to this goal. At its modern sites in Freiberg (Saxony) and Bitterfeld-Wolfen (Saxony-Anhalt), the company will manufacture high-quality solar cells and modules "Made in Europe" from 2021. These are equipped with the proprietary heterojunction/smart-wire technology, which guarantees the highest efficiency at economic costs. The product range includes innovative and highly efficient solar modules for roof systems in the private and commercial sector as well as solutions for the solar power plant segment.
In addition, Meyer Burger, as a recognised technology company, supplies production equipment for standard solar cells with PERC technology.
Meyer Burger is a Swiss company with additional locations in Germany, Asia and North America.
Meyer Burger receives up to 22.5 million euros in public funding to build environmentally friendly solar cell production
The aid is for setting up the production of heterojunction (HJT) solar cells and the establishment of the plant in Thalheim (city of Bitterfeld-Wolfen).
