Cybrid and LightSeeds have jointly announced a global co-innovation partnership to accelerate the industrial deployment of a new class of eco-engineered solar modules. The announcement was made during SNEC 2025 in the presence of industrial partners and international stakeholders, underscoring the significance of the collaboration for the future of sustainable photovoltaics.
The partnership brings together Cybrid’s global leadership in advanced materials and manufacturing with LightSeeds’ Swiss-developed, patented solar technology, which delivers ultra-light, glass-free modules with a 50% lower carbon footprint than conventional glass equivalents. Together, the two companies are setting the stage for the rapid market adoption of high-performance, environmentally responsible solar solutions.
LightSeeds, a Swiss cleantech company, is commercializing a new class of lightweight, rigid, glass-free solar modules engineered from advanced polymers. The design significantly reduces carbon footprint across the product lifecycle, the advantages opening up unprecedented possibilities for PV integration into rooftops, facades and other vertical infrastructures where traditional panels fall short.
“Sustainability is not an option—it’s a requirement,” commented LightSeeds CEO Pierrick Duvoisin. “Our patented Swiss technology redefines how solar can be deployed, with a product that is fully recyclable and drastically more climate-responsible following circular economy schemes. We are proud to present this breakthrough here at SNEC, alongside a global network of innovators and stakeholders.”
“LightSeeds represents exactly the kind of disruptive innovation the solar industry needs,” added Cybrid CEO Mark Wu. “Cybrid and LightSeeds share the same vision of making the PV industry more sustainable, hence the creation of a complete tailor-made portfolio of polymer solutions for LightSeeds’ lightweight module, supporting its product commercialization and differentiation”.
With the technology now poised for industrial rollout, LightSeeds is embarking on a campaign to engage with investors and manufacturers interested in licensing its intellectual property. Rooted in Swiss engineering excellence and protected by a strong patent portfolio, LightSeeds’ IP offers a compelling opportunity for players seeking a competitive edge in the next wave of solar.
