Heliatek was founded by a group of clean-energy enthusiasts 13 years ago to create a breakthrough product: organic photovoltaic (OPV) solar film. Heliatek solar film panels are a study in sustainability. Combining less than one gram of organic material with some heat, pressure and technological wizardry, Heliatek can produce 1m<sup>2<\/sup> of ultra-thin, lightweight, flexible solar film. Heliatek solar film can transform any surface \u2014 from glass and concrete to polymer sheets and PVC membranes \u2014 into a source of clean energy. The product is a result of years of interdisciplinary research and development by a talented team of physicists and chemists, engineers and entrepreneurs, and Heliatek set the OPV standard with a record solar efficiency of over 13 percent in laboratory conditions. The panels offer near-limitless applications, with better process control and longer lifespan than traditional crystalline technology. The company operates on a \u201clab-to-fab\u201d format, transferring research insights into production practices and a marketable product. Heliatek is positioning itself as a world leader in the clean energy sector. The technology underpinning all this has enabled it to secure several rounds of venture funding from private and public coffers \u2014 and convinced the CFI.co judging panel that Heliatek is the worthy winner of the 2019 award for Best Innovation-Led CleanTech Growth (Germany).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good ideas attract funding and faithful followers \u2014 and the clean-tech pioneer Heliatek has a great one.
