Epishine: Organische Solarzellen für effizientes Lichtenergie-Harvesting aus Schweden
Epishine develops and manufactures light energy harvesting solar cells in Sweden, based on organic photovoltaic technology. Our cells are designed for low-power electronics, IoT devices and indoor or ambient light applications, and differ fundamentally from conventional silicon-based solar modules.
Because our technology does not use polysilicon, our supply chain is independent of traditional crystalline silicon production. Our materials are sourced within Europe and other transparent supply chains, and our manufacturing takes place in Sweden. This allows us to provide a high level of traceability and control over the origin of raw materials, as well as compliance with strict sustainability and ethical sourcing requirements.
Traceability of raw materials
Our technology is based on organic photovoltaic materials and does not rely on polysilicon. The sourcing of our materials can be documented and traced through European and verified suppliers.
Feasibility of supplying modules for a pilot project (~475 kWp)
Our technology is not intended for large-scale outdoor power generation in the kWp range. Instead, it enables energy harvesting for distributed, low-power electronic systems where conventional solar modules are not suitable. We would be happy to contribute with alternative solutions within such applications.
Cost considerations without Chinese polysilicon
Since our technology does not use polysilicon, cost structures differ significantly from conventional PV modules. While our cells are not designed for utility-scale power generation, they enable new use cases where sustainability, traceability and independence from critical supply chains are key requirements.
Compliance with technical requirements
We understand that the challenge focuses on conventional solar modules. Our solution represents an alternative technology, and we would be glad to provide additional technical information if such solutions are of interest within the scope of the project.
We would be pleased to stay in contact and explore whether alternative solar technologies could contribute to future pilot projects focusing on ethical sourcing, supply chain transparency and innovative energy solutions.
