Heliene and Caelux combine PV cells and solar glass for a hybrid module

Heliene, a solar modules manufacturer, and Caelux Corporation, a perovskite solar technology company, are starting commercial production of their Hybrid-Tandem solar module.

This module combines perovskite glass from Caelux and silicon N-type cells from Heliene, placing two energy generating sources in a single solar panel. Heliene is producing the modules in its plant in Mountain Iron, Minnesota, with first deliveries slated for 2027.

“One of the advantages of Caelux’s technology is that we can integrate its Energy Producing Glass into our existing manufacturing lines without having to build an entirely new production setup,” said Martin Pochtaruk, CEO and founder of Heliene. “With both companies manufacturing in the U.S., we’re bringing together two fully domestic supply chains to advance what’s possible with American-made solar, besides the fact that partnering with true friends also makes it fun.”

The companies are reporting a 27% efficiency from the Hybrid-Tandem module. Heliene and Caelux desiged this module to have a higher power density in a smaller project footprint.

“Heliene is a true leader in U.S. manufacturing, and we share a belief that when we lead the market, our customers win. Together, we’re commercializing ultra-high-efficiency solar modules that will set a new bar for American-made solar,” said Caelux CEO Scott Graybeal.

Heliene will showcase the Hybrid-Tandem module at RE+ in Las Vegas from Nov. 17 to 19, at booth #W16546.
