AVANCIS GmbH

AVANCIS is a leading German technology company specializing in the development and production of high-quality solar modules using thin-film technology (CIGS - Copper-Indium-Gallium-Selenide). With its headquarters in Torgau, Saxony, and a branch in Munich, AVANCIS has been a pioneer in thin-film photovoltaics for over 40 years.

AVANCIS develops and produces premium solar modules that are branded under the motto "Designed & Made in Germany." The innovative CIGS technology enables the production of solar modules that meet the highest quality and certification standards. A highlight of the portfolio is the SKALA module, which is specifically designed for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and is used in various construction projects worldwide[2][5].

AVANCIS stands for aesthetically and technologically outstanding solar products. The company is committed to continuously developing better solutions in the field of thin-film technology through its engineering expertise and innovative spirit, while striving for market leadership. AVANCIS's mission is to make the conversion of solar energy into electricity a central pillar of future energy generation, thereby making a significant contribution to the energy transition[2][3].

Sustainability is a central concern for AVANCIS. The company relies on resource-saving manufacturing processes and has been using 100% green energy from hydropower for the production of its thin-film solar modules since early 2024. This initiative significantly reduces the ecological footprint of production. Furthermore, AVANCIS promotes the integration of photovoltaics into building envelopes to increase energy generation directly at the point of consumption and to enhance the aesthetics of facades[2][5].

AVANCIS is involved in numerous innovative projects that highlight the possibilities of BIPV technology. For example, a pilot project in Switzerland realized a 54-meter high, continuous solar facade, which is considered the highest of its kind in the world. The company also collaborates in an alliance with other facade experts to showcase and promote the diverse possibilities of facade construction[5].

AVANCIS employs about 500 employees from 17 different nationalities and offers a diverse and supportive work environment. The company promotes flexible working hours, remote work, and various working time models to enable a good work-life balance. Additionally, AVANCIS provides comprehensive benefits and development opportunities for its employees[1][4].

With its long-standing expertise, innovative technologies, and commitment to sustainability, AVANCIS positions itself as a leading company in the solar energy industry and actively contributes to the global energy transition.
