Crystalsol

Series A in 2013
Crystalsol is a technology company specializing in the development and manufacturing of innovative photovoltaic modules, primarily focused on building integration applications and consumer products. Founded in 2007 and based in Tallinn, Estonia, with additional operations in Vienna, Austria, Crystalsol utilizes a patented technology that combines high-efficiency single-crystalline materials with cost-effective roll-to-roll production methods. The company’s modules feature a light-absorbing layer made from a unique crystalline semiconductor powder, which consists of abundant and low-cost elements such as copper, zinc, tin, sulfur, and selenium. This technology allows for the creation of flexible photovoltaic films that can be seamlessly integrated into various structures, including building windows, facades, and rooftops. By eliminating the need for vacuum technology and enabling high throughput, Crystalsol's production process minimizes the capital investment typically required for photovoltaic plants, thereby addressing common scalability challenges associated with thin film technologies.
