They are particularly suitable for installation on the many roofs around Europe that cannot support the weight of traditional silicon solar panels.<\/p>\n<p>In the evaluation of Midsummer\u2019s application, the EU gave the project top scores especially for scalability and the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions: \u201d<em>the proposal offers good potential to create new value chains in Europe in the field of thin film PV manufacturing industry, which will have a positive impact on European competitiveness<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-110e322 mt e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"110e322\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a488f2 e-grid section-margin e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7a488f2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7321823 dce_masking-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7321823\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/midsummer.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Produktionsflode-2-1.jpg\" title=\"Produktionsfl\u00f6de 2 (1)\" alt=\"Produktionsfl\u00f6de 2 (1)\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44f9e09 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"44f9e09\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9bd7f35 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9bd7f35\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Innovation<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1fc07d8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1fc07d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The DAWN project will establish the first-of-its-kind CIGS thin-film solar cell and solar panel production factory in Sweden.
