Solyndra was a manufacturer of cylindrical panels of copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin film solar cells based in Fremont, California. Heavily promoted as a leader in the sustainable energy sector for its unusual technology, Solyndra was not able to compete with conventional solar panel manufacturers of crystalline silicon.[1] In 2009, the Obama administration co-signed $535 million loans to Solyndra.[2]
The company filed for bankruptcy on September 1, 2011.[3][4]
