Freiberg colloquium "30 years of the solar industry in Freiberg"

Bayer Solar GmbH was founded on 1 August 1994 and with it a new forward-looking industry, the solar industry, was established in Freiberg. The 30th anniversary of the founding of Bayer Solar GmbH in 2024 should therefore be an occasion to present the development of Freiberg as a solar location since 1994. The founding of Bayer Solar GmbH in 1994 was the starting signal for the development of Freiberg as a solar location. In 2000, Bayer Solar GmbH was taken over by Solarworld AG, which was followed by a further successful expansion of the Freiberg solar location into the main location of the Solarworld group of companies. After the severe crisis in the solar industry in Germany a few years ago, which did not leave Freiberg unscathed, the solar location Freiberg has been successfully strengthened again over the past three years through the activities of Meyer & Burger and other Freiberg companies, even if dark clouds are currently looming over the solar location in Freiberg again and the solar industry has become a national issue.
