Switzerland-headquartered Amcor, a global leader in responsible packaging, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with UK-based Power Roll Limited to develop lightweight, flexible solar photovoltaic films as an alternative to traditional silicon solar panels. The films are designed for rooftops, facades, off-grid power, and transportation, addressing limitations of heavy panels. Power Roll’s roll-to-roll manufacturing process avoids rare earth minerals, ensuring low-cost production. Amcor partners with Power Roll to expand solar market reach and tap 12 billion m² of rooftops for clean energy and net-zero goals.
