Heliatek opens groundbreaking production facility for the manufacture of organic solar films

Heliatek developed the world's first manufacturing line producing organic solar panels in a roll-to-roll process using vacuum deposition at low temperatures - a process that holds excellent potential for significantly reducing costs in mass production. While other organic manufacturers rely on printing processes, Heliatek is the only company in the world that specializes in solar panel manufacture using vacuum deposition of small molecules (oligomers) on flexible film.

The advantages lie in better process control, higher efficiency, and longer life span. We can only overcome the challenges of our time - such as raw material shortages, energy transition, and climate change - with innovative ideas and cutting-edge technology. Heliatek, its partners, and its employees recognized the signs early and are already producing the technology of tomorrow with organic photovoltaics today. Dresden has offered Heliatek the best conditions possible, including a highly efficient research and development network, as well as local production and value creation. I'm pleased that the latest quality products made in Saxony are ready to change the world, said guest of honor Prime Minister Tillich to the three hundred guests from the business community, investors and project partners, as well as customers and company staff.
