With its headquarters in Athens and the production facility in Tripolis, Greece, the main activity of HelioSphera S.A. is the production of micromorph thin-film photovoltaic panels, with an annual capacity of 60MWp.

History

In January 2008 ground was broken in Tripolis, Greece. The Micromorph thin-film plant was build in 18 months and with an investment of 180m Euros. The state-of-the-art, 27,000 m² facility, with a clean room of over 1500 m² launched production in September 2009. A month later the certification process according to IEC61646 and IEC61730 was completed by TÜV-Rheinland, while two mounting solutions for BIPV and ground mounted systems are offered.
Production started in Q4 2009 and the ramp up was completed in Q3 2010. In 2010 92% of the production was exported and projects in Germany, Italy, Slovakia, France, Greece, Belgium, Israel, the Czech Republic, Japan and elsewhere have been commissioned, including large scale ground mounted systems as well as medium to small scale rooftop installations

Products

Micromorph modules by HelioSphera S.A. are manufactured according to the highest quality standards and deliver an outstanding performance even in low light conditions, partial shading or high temperatures. HelioSphera S.A. is one of the first ones to start module production in Greece, has a fully certified product and is the only thin film (micromorph-Si) producer in the country. As such, HelioSphera S.A. has a competitive advantage in BIPV applications but also in field installations, as it can offer higher kWh production per kWp installed, at a very competitive cost and without any toxic substances used in other thin film technologies.
