Heliatek GmbH
We have designed a solar film based on organic photovoltaic technology. This enables us to produce solar films, which are ultra-light, flexible, ultra thin and truly green. Through its integrated backside adhesive, the solar films can easily be glued to various surfaces and with their solar connectors easily be installed in a solar system. Even solar technology is already a mainstream electricity generation technology, still almost 98 of all global available rooftop surfaces are not used for solar power generation. There is a huge locked potential that we can now acces with our solar films, such as building structures that require a lightweight solution or uilding materials that cannot be penetrated. Our innovative solar films are used in more than 30 global installations and demonstrate the various application possibilities.
