Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a crucial tool that helps us assess the environmental impact of our products. It examines every stage of a product's life, from the production of our solar cells to their use in various devices.
This supports our sustainability commitment by guiding strategic actions, environmental impact, and communicate effectively about our products’ environmental aspects. Our latest assessment was done by Miljögiraff AB and third-party validated by Sweco.
At Epishine, we take pride in our unwavering commitment to sustainability. Emitting a mere 21g of CO₂e per cell* with several initiatives ongoing to reduce even further.

Our journey towards sustainability begins with the way we manufacture our solar cells. We employ a roll to roll production process that minimizes environmental impact. Our solar cells are thin, measuring just above 0.2 mm, and over 99% of their composition consists of PET material where 1g of the active semiconductor material is sufficient for many square meters.
We prioritize maintaining low production temperatures, ensuring that our manufacturing process is as gentle on the environment as possible. By combining these practices, we create solar cells that are not only efficient, but also a sustainable option.
