Sulfurcell GmbH is a global leader in the development and manufacture of thin film solar modules based on CIS/CIGSe (Copper, Indium, combined with Gallium, Sulphur and Selenium). The modules are sold into both the Building-Integrated PV (BIPV) market as well as into rooftop system and ground-mounted solar farms. CIS modules are more aesthetically integrated into building facades and do not suffer from material degradation after initial deployment.
The company is undertaking a significant expansion of its manufacturing capacity and has recently started production at a new plant in Berlin that eventually will have a capacity of 75MW. The funding required for this capacity expansion was secured through a €87m equity funding round completed in June 2008 that was led by CPE and Intel Capital. CPE invested €12m in the round.
