Flisom to preview Swiss-built flexible solar module technology at Intersolar 2017 (FOTO)

Munich (ots) -

- Swiss based Flisom presents new, ultra-light, rollable and
customisable solar technology platform.
- Ultralight panels with 20x power to weight ratio of today's silicon
solar panels unveiled at Intersolar Europe.
- Flisom unveils customisable solar technology to enable breakthrough
applications.

Flisom AG, a Swiss solar enterprise, in which Tata Industries of
the $103bn Tata group is a strategic investor and the Swiss Federal
Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) is a
technology partner, will give visitors a glimpse of its new product
range at Intersolar 2017.

The company, headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, has spent over
a decade developing high-efficiency CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium
Selenide) thin film solar modules using proprietary roll-to-roll
manufacturing technologies.

Flisom's products are based on the technology developed by its
research partner Empa, which had achieved a world-record conversion
efficiency of 20.4% in a flexible CIGS solar cell. This research
partnership ensures that Flisom products remain at the cutting edge
of solar thin film offerings.

Flisom modules are super thin (under 2mm), have a uniform, jet
black appearance, are ultra-light (in some versions under 500g/m2)
with a power to weight ratio of up to 20 times more than conventional
silicon panels, and are strong, safe and rollable.

Unlike competitors, Flisom offers not only its standard portfolio
of modules, but also offers its technology as a business-enabling
platform, which is customisable for the applications of end
customers, and the modules are designed and manufactured in-house.

With Flisom gearing up for full commercialisation of its product
range this year, the company is focused on enabling solar in ways
not possible before, whether for buildings, mobility and transport,
and even specialist customized applications, across Europe, United
Kingdom and United States.

The company will be showcasing its eMetal, eFlex and eRoll
products at StandA1.110.

About Flisom

Flisom was founded in 2005 as a spin-off of the Laboratory of
Solid State Physics of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
Zurich (ETH Zurich) - a scientific institution with global renown.
For several years, the company remained in stealth mode, working
closely together with Empa (Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials
Science and Technology) to design and improve its core technology.
This historic link with the world's leading research institutions
forms the basis of Flisom's identity, and the guarantee of continuous
improvement of its cutting-edge technology.
