Meyer Burger

Meyer Burger is a Swiss-based technology company that has undergone a profound transformation from a global leader in solar manufacturing equipment to a vertically integrated producer of high-performance photovoltaic cells and modules. With a history rooted in precision engineering for the watchmaking industry, the company has leveraged its decades of expertise to pioneer advanced solar technologies, including Heterojunction (HJT) and SmartWire Connection Technology (SWCT). These innovations have positioned Meyer Burger as a key player in the development of high-efficiency, durable, and aesthetically superior solar solutions for residential, commercial, and utility-scale applications. In recent years, the company has navigated a challenging global market characterized by intense competition and pricing pressures. Following a strategic pivot to direct manufacturing, Meyer Burger has faced significant financial headwinds, leading to restructuring efforts and insolvency proceedings in Germany and the United States. Despite these operational hurdles, the company remains a critical entity in the European solar landscape, continuing to focus on its proprietary manufacturing processes and its commitment to advancing sustainable energy production.

Meyer Burger is committed to shaping the future of energy generation through the vision of emission-free energy generation from sunlight.
