Sunfilm AG is one of the world's largest manufacturers of silicon-based thin-film modules with a combined capacity of 85 megawatts peak (MWp) at its two German production sites in Grossroehrsdorf and Bitterfeld-Wolfen. The company has an additional 60 MWp of capacity under construction as well. Thin-film is one of the fastest growing segments of the solar PV industry. Sunfilm's innovative technology for tandem junction thin-film silicon solar modules allows a larger part of the solar spectrum to be harvested as compared to amorphous silicon thin-film solar modules, leading to higher module efficiencies. Additionally, the amount of silicon needed to produce these modules is significantly less than for crystalline silicon modules.

Southwall Technologies, Inc. operates as a global energy technology company which provides energy conservation and climate management thin-film glass solutions. The firm manufactures and develops films and glass products that improve energy efficiency in architectural and automotive glass applications. It manufactures windows & glass sun-proof, heat-proof & cold-proof - enabling their customers to fine-tune the insulating and solar control performance of glass, reducing the energy consumption for cooling and heating for a comfortable indoor climate. Southwall Technologies was founded in 1979 and is headquartered in St. Louisiana, MO.
