Overview
- Swift Solar said it acquired Meyer Burger’s heterojunction technology patent portfolio and core manufacturing assets to launch U.S. cell production.
- Former Meyer Burger leaders Gunter Erfurt and Marcel Koenig will join Swift to steer HJT technology transfer and scale‑up.
- The company plans a gigawatt‑scale American HJT cell and module factory, with perovskite–silicon tandems slated for a later phase.
- Swift says the deal secures the Western Hemisphere’s most extensive HJT IP, providing “freedom to operate” and lowering litigation risk.
