About Meyer Burger Technology

Meyer Burger combines innovative cutting-edge technology with tradition and courage to create unique photovoltaic systems, which are manufactured sustainably with our production equipment.

For almost 70 years, we have been the technological backbone of the industry and set standards - from diamond wire saws and industrial PERC solutions to precision measurement technology for solar modules. The vast majority of solar modules produced worldwide today are based on technologies developed by Meyer Burger.

Now we are taking the next step and have reinvented our business model: As a manufacturer of high-performance photovoltaic cells and modules, we are using the heterojunction/SmartWire technology we developed to lead photovoltaics into a new era worldwide. In terms of energy yield and efficiency, we define new standards and combine them with first-class design.

Our edge pushes us to innovate further every day. Innovations that go beyond our materials and craftsmanship and ensure that our product pays off. For everyone. For a solar future!
