HyET Solar has developed a fully flexible, very lightweight thin film solar foil (“Powerfoil”). It is based on affordable and abundantly available and harmless material: amorphous silicon (aSi) at competitive price. Compared to mainstream glass PV (c-Si), thin film generally has a lower efficiency, to be set off by lower costs by scaling up production and potentially increasing efficiency through R&D on perovskites and other innovative materials. The company is going from a 1MWp R&D production line to a 40MWp demonstration production line to be able to demonstrate its first version of its product and prove market fit.
