Founded by Christian M. Gronet in 2005, Solyndra, Inc. (previously Gronet Technologies) is a manufacturer of photovoltaic systems for the commercial rooftop market and distributes its products mainly in North America and Europe. Its solar sysetms use a tube-shaped design less expensive than the traditional flat-moduled panels, which Solyndra hopes will encourage customers to convert underutilized rooftop space into clean solar energy. With a variety of customers ranging from commercial building owners to government agencies, utilities and developers, Solyndra has sold and installed over 500 systems around the world since its inception. In fall 2011, Solyndra filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, laying off over 1100 employees (see PrivCo Bankruptcy & Restructuring Table: Solyndra Inc. for additional details). In September 2011, the F.B.I conducted a raid of Solyndra's headquarters, as part of an Energy Department investigation connected with the $528 million loan guarantees provided by the federal government to Solyndra.

$99 Single Company AccessInstant Full Site-Wide AccessCompany Overview
Headquartered in Fremont, California, Solyndra, Inc. designs and manufactures solar photovoltaic (PV) systems comprised of panels and mounts for the commercial rooftop market. In 2010, Solyndra was named “One of the 50 Most Innovative Companies in the World” by MIT’s Technology Review Magazine. Using cylindrical modules and thin film CIGS technology, Solyndra’s systems are designed to provide a lower average cost of electricity and the highest kilowatt hour production per rooftop than flat module-based solar techologies. Solyndra designs their cylindrical modules specifically for the commercial rooftop. The privately-owned solar company asserts that the cylindrical design offers fast installation, a non-penetrating mounting system, and superior wind, snow and soiling performance. The cylindrically-designed solar modules perform better when installed on a white or light-colored roof, due to the additional sunlight received from… Continue Reading →
