Under the collaboration, Midsummer Siam’s lightweight thin-film solar solutions will initially be displayed at IKEA Bangna, with the ambition to explore future opportunities together through broader customer engagement initiatives.

The collaboration will explore how well-designed, functional and accessible renewable energy solutions can become part of everyday life in Thailand — helping people reduce their energy costs and their environmental footprint at the same time.

Midsummer’s ultra-lightweight and flexible thin-film CIGS solar panels are designed for applications where conventional solar panels may be difficult to install due to weight, aesthetics or roof limitations. The panels are durable, recyclable and designed with an ultra-low lifecycle carbon footprint, making them particularly well suited for sustainable buildings and modern urban environments and in remote aeras with less reliable power supply and where roof strength may not support traditional heavier PV panels.

Leonie Hoskin, Retail Director, IKEA Thailand and Vietnam, commented:
“At IKEA, we believe that sustainable living should be affordable, attractive and accessible for the many people. Alongside our unique range of home furnishing products, we are excited to explore this collaboration with Midsummer Siam the potential of innovative solar solutions to support to a more sustainable everyday life at home in Thailand.

Lars Svensson, Representative of Midsummer Siam and Head of Strategic Partnerships and Business Development ASEAN for Midsummer AB, commented:
“Thailand has enormous potential for rooftop solar and sustainable living solutions. Together with IKEA Thailand, we hope to inspire people to see that renewable energy can become a natural and elegant part of the home and built environment.”
