Swedish solar energy company Midsummer has secured its largest single order to date, winning a contract to supply 667 kW of its thin, lightweight solar panels for an off-grid field installation.

The project will cover more than 5,000 square metres and include over 1,300 of Midsummer's BOLD panels, with delivery and installation scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.

The project has been jointly developed by Midsummer and Denmark-based Green Energy Group, which selected the technology for its low weight, durability, ease of integration, sustainable design and traceable supply chain.

Green Energy Group specialises in lightweight and flexible solar solutions for transport, mobility and infrastructure, and has completed more than 3,000 installations across Europe.

Midsummer said its lightweight panels are particularly suited to projects where roof load capacity and transport constraints make conventional silicon solar panels impractical. 

“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.”

Jaremalm added: “A small practical example: many installations in remote locations are often reached via relatively poor roads, perhaps gravel roads. 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.” -OGN/TradeArabia News Service
