The world’s most powerful organic PV (OPV) installation has recently been completed by our trusted partner PETA Engineering at the SAMSUNG Advanced Institute of Technology in Suwon, South Korea. The sunny-side facing walls of one of the buildings at SAMSUNG Advanced Institute of Technology have been fitted with ~40kWp of HeliaSol solar films. Although 40kWp seems just a modest step, it is a giant step towards transforming each building to become NetZero Energy.

Guido van Tartwijk, CEO of Heliatek:
“We are on a mission to cover every sun-facing surface of buildings with our ultra-low carbon-footprint and fully sustainable solar solution. With this significantly sized project at the SAMSUNG Suwon site. we demonstrate again that our technology has successfully transferred into products with a performance and robustness that offers a unique value to our customers.”

Robert J. Oh, CEO of Peta Engineering:
“Through our experience in installing the solar films from Heliatek we can say, there is no easier and faster way to install solar on rooftops and façade applications. No mounting, no drilling, simply plug & play.”
