The Swedish manufacturer of thin-film solar cells <\/strong>Midsummer<\/a><\/strong> has been awarded the 2025 Solar Energy Award by the Swedish Solar Energy Association. Midsummer won the award for its installation of aesthetically pleasing thin-film solar cells at Jonsered's gardens in Partille.<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

At a ceremony on Thursday evening, Midsummer received the 2025 Solar Energy Award in the category "Installation Building of the Year". The award, which is presented by the Swedish Solar Energy Association<\/a>, recognizes "the industry's most innovative ideas and developments – which drive the technology field forward".<\/p>

The award-winning solar energy installation is located in the scenic Jonsered Gardens service building. Integrating modern technology into culturally historic environments is a challenge. Partille Municipality, which manages the old estate dating back to the 19th century where Jonsered Gardens is located, wanted to combine tradition with innovation. Midsummer was able to offer a unique solution using thin-film technology, which does not disturb the valuable environment and also has the lowest carbon footprint on the market.<\/p>

\u201cWe are pleased that our thin-film technology is being recognized and rewarded in this way. The installation met high demands on both aesthetics and low weight on the panels. Our newly developed SLIM modules were the best solution for this installation and should be for many more customers where appearance and carbon footprint are important and where the roofs may be too weak to support heavy silicon panels\u201d, said Erik Olsson, Head of Business Development at Midsummer.<\/p>

The panel installed at Jonsered Gardens is Midsummer's new model SLIM3, a solar panel that is developed to be retrofitted to traditional double-seam metal roofs where the size fits between the seams with a very aesthetically pleasing result. The estimated annual production at Jonsered Gardens is up to 17,000 kWh. The panels have been manufactured in Sweden.<\/p>

\u201cWith the uncertain global situation presently, it is more important than ever to have control over supply chains. The jury has valued both aesthetics and the fact that the products are produced in Sweden\u201d, said Alex Jankell, coordinator of the Solar Energy Prize at the Swedish Solar Energy Industry Association.<\/p>

The materials in the solar cells are 98 percent recyclable. The construction of the buildings around Jonsered Gardens is part of Partille Municipality's sustainability work.<\/p>

About Midsummer
Midsummer is a Swedish solar energy company that develops, manufactures, and sells solar cells to construction, roofing and solar cell installation companies and also manufactures, sells and installs solar roofs directly to end customers. The company also develops and sells equipment for the production of flexible thin film solar cells to strategically selected partners and machinery for research. The solar cells are of CIGS technology (consist of copper, indium, gallium and selenide) and are thin, light, flexible, discreet and with a minimal carbon footprint compared with other solar panels.<\/p>

The solar roofs are produced in Sweden using the company\u2019s own unique\u00a0DUO<\/a>\u00a0system which has taken the position as the most widespread manufacturing tool for flexible CIGS solar cells in the world.
