Abound Solar

Abound Solar was a U.S. manufacturer of thin-film photovoltaic modules, with a focus on cadmium telluride thin-film technology. The company was headquartered in Loveland, Colorado, and also developed manufacturing capacity in Indiana. Its modules were intended for solar power projects and other photovoltaic applications, positioning thin-film technology as an alternative to conventional crystalline-silicon modules. After facing financing, manufacturing-scale, and competitive pressures, the company filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation in 2012 and ceased operations.

Abound Solar was established in the United States in 2007 and was initially known as AVA Solar. Its business focused on thin-film solar cells and photovoltaic modules, using cadmium telluride technology as an alternative to conventional crystalline-silicon products. The company maintained its headquarters and development and manufacturing activities in Loveland, Colorado, and later pursued additional manufacturing capacity in Indiana. Abound Solar received government support and financing during its expansion, but its commercialization efforts were affected by falling module prices, competition from Chinese manufacturers, and the capital requirements of scaling production. In 2012, the company halted production and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation, ending its operations.
