Epishine is a Swedish energy impact company, reimagining the capture of light with market-leading printed organic solar cells. Our technology captures indoor light to make electronics self-powered, making cables, disposable batteries, and unnecessary maintenance a thing of the past.
30+ years
Epishine's story began decades before the company was founded. Built on more than 30 years of research in organic and printed electronics at Linköping University, our technology traces its roots to pioneering work in organic photovoltaics led by Professor Olle Inganäs, a world-renowned physicist and former Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics.

Building Momentum
With a growing team and renewed focus on light energy harvesting, Epishine entered a new phase of development. Increased funding and national recognition helped accelerate both technology and organization. The move to a larger facility in Ebbepark in Linköping provided access to advanced production equipment, creating the conditions needed to scale development and prepare for the journey from innovation to industrialization.
2020
Epishine gained growing momentum, supported by major funding from the European Commission through programs such as Horizon and LIFE. The backing helped accelerate the journey from research to commercialization while supporting production scale-up and validation across new market segments.
2021
February 2021 marked a milestone: Epishine's first official product release. The indoor solar cell and evaluation kit were made available through Farnell/Avnet a major global supplier of electronic components creating widespread interest from engineers and product developers around the world.
2023
New Facility
Epishine expand to a new facility in Linköping designed to pave the way for significantly higher production volumes.
This expansion into a larger state-of-the-art roll-to-roll facility is a direct result of the growing market interest across industries and a wide range of applications.
2025
Global Adoption
Epishine reached new commercial milestones as global companies integrated its indoor solar cells into their products, including Google's G32 TV remote control and SoluM's electronic shelf label rail system.
