About AxunTek Solar Energy

AxunTek was established in 2007 with a focus on developing CIGS solar panel technology that was first introduced in the 1980's.

Company Info

AxunTek claimed to be the first company in the Chinese-speaking world to successfully develop mass-production CIGS technology. CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) solar panels are a thin-film solar solution, with attributes including flexibility and comparatively light weight.

By the end of 2010, AxunTek said it achieved a production capacity of 30 MW, with a forecasted increase to 200 MW in 2012. Whether that ever happened isn't clear, but the company disappeared around 2014; so it isn't likely.

These modules measured 640 x 1250 x 32.5 mm and weighed 15.1 kilograms. Their efficiency was up to 12.9% and they had a temperature coefficient of PMax of -0.331%/°C. The Clean Energy Council listings for these modules expired in 2015.

Warranty Details

We weren't able to find warranty information for AxunTek panels. But with the company long-gone, its unlikely a warranty claim would be successful even if they were still covered unless the company that supplied and installed them are still around.
