Solaronix is a Swiss company founded in 1993 by the twin brothers Andreas & Toby Meyer. The headquarters are located in Aubonne, facing lake Geneva and the Alps. This beautiful and natural landscape has always been an inspiration for clean and renewable energy sources. The origins of the company belong to the pioneering discovery of a new generation of solar cells at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). This scientific breakthrough enabled the feasibility of innovative photovoltaic devices with unparalleled features. Solaronix was the first startup company to acquire a license for the Dye Solar Cell technology from EPFL in 1994, with the aim to bring this invention to an industrial level. To do so, Solaronix' high-end scientific and technological expertise is divided into three activities: Materials, Solar Cells, and Equipment. The Materials division is devoted to the production and distribution of the materials for Hybrid Solar Cell and Dye Solar Cell fabrication. Solaronix delivers retail quantities and bulk supplies of specialty chemicals and components to the various research centers, academic laboratories, and pioneering enterprises working on next generation photovoltaic technologies around the world.
