Swift Solar Acquires Meyer Burger HJT IP and Assets to Scale U.S. Cell Production

The purchase gives Swift a legal and technical foundation for domestic HJT cells, positioning the company to add perovskite tandems.

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.
  • The company reports more than $60 million in funding and 3,000 hours of high‑temperature tandem durability, while other Meyer Burger assets were sold to Waaree and Solestial.
