Hanergy said the acquisition will boost its capabilities in flexible, thin-film solar for the mobile and wearable device sector.
The Chinese group said it will particularly look for applications in areas such as emergency phone-charging, the automotive sector and web-based devices.
Hanergy CEO Li Hejun said: “Alta Devices’ thin-film solar technology allows more energy to be produced in lower light conditions than any other type of solar cell, giving it greater potential to power a wide range of mobile devices and equipment from phones to cars.
