Following the bankruptcy of HyET Solar, key team members and technology were brought together under a new company: LiFT-PV. Building on the proven foundation of flexible silicon solar modules, LiFT-PV also introduced a new strategic focus on perovskite (PVK) substrates, positioning the company at the forefront of next-generation solar innovation.
Roland Pechtold assumed the role of CEO of HyET Solar. In 2024, HyET Solar will inaugurate its new production facility in Arnhem, with further expansion on the horizon.
HyET Solar reached a significant milestone, with pilot line scaling up to 800mm projects, with potential to grow towards 1400mm, demonstrating the capability to support larger solar energy initiatives.
Partnerships with key industry players, including Vopak and Fortescue Future Industries (FFI), helped HyET Solar expand its global reach.
Initial demo projects with a capacity of 350 watts were completed, showcasing the practical applications of the technology.
HyET Solar's technology received IEC certification, confirming the reliability and quality of its thin-film solar solutions.
HyET Solar established after being acquired by Rombout Swanborn, marking a new era in thin-film solar technology development.
Vattenfall acquired Nuon, integrating Helianthos' solar technology into their portfolio.
Ownership transitioned to Nuon, advancing further technological developments.
The first roll-to-roll production line was initiated, a major milestone in thin-film production technology.
The solar division, initially under Akzo Nobel, started developing rollable thin-film solar technology.
Initial developments aimed at creating rollable modules.
