Midsummer receives its largest single order for solar panels

Swedish solar energy company Midsummer has received its largest single order to date for the company's thin and lightweight solar panels, the total order being for a field installation of 667 kilowatts of panels, equivalent to just over 5,000 square metres of land.

Midsummer will deliver just over 1,300 panels of its BOLD model, specially developed for larger roof areas where low weight and durability play a major role, for this installation. Delivery and installation are planned to be carried out during the fourth quarter of 2026.

The delivery concerns an off-grid project, in which the solar cell solution is jointly developed by Green Energy Group and Midsummer. The choice of Midsummer's technology has been made based on the installation's specific requirements for solution integration, logistics, sustainability, low weight and traceability in the value chain.

“This is Midsummer's largest single order for solar panels to date, both in terms of installed power and order value” said Eric Jaremalm, CEO of Midsummer. “The order shows that our technology meets a clear need in installations where low weight, robustness and a controlled European value chain are one or more decisive factors, and where it is not good enough to simply find the cheapest possible solar panel. This includes large segments such as field, defense, mobility, space, vehicles, etc., where we can offer the most competitive and suitable solution.”

The client is Green Energy Group, a leading Danish developer of solar applications, specialising in sustainable, lightweight and flexible solar solutions for transport, mobility and infrastructure. The company manages projects from system design and technology integration to delivery and implementation, with more than 3,000 solar installations completed across Europe.

Midsummer's thin and lightweight solar panels are particularly well suited for installations where transport conditions and the load-bearing capacity of the roofs limit the use of traditional silicon solar panels.

“A small practical example: many installations in remote locations are often reached via relatively poor roads, perhaps gravel roads” added Mr Jaremalm. “In these contexts, Midsummer's panels are very robust, easy to transport and handle. In addition, our panels are also much more durable against external influences after installation, with diodes between each solar cell that mean that external influences from, for example, shelling in war zones, bad weather such as strong winds and hail, or from shading, only marginally affect the output from the solar panel.”
