PEARL Consortium demonstrates R2R perovskite production
At month 18 of its three-year Horizon Europe project, the PEARL consortium has made decisive progress toward its target of 25% efficient, low-cost flexible perovskite solar cells with carbon electrodes. By combining cutting-edge materials research, pilot-scale roll-to-roll (R2R) manufacturing and comprehensive sustainability measures, partners across Europe have delivered a series of significant achievements. The researchers […]
Fraunhofer FEP presents advances in building-integrated PV
As part of the Design-PV project, Fraunhofer FEP has made significant progress in developing aesthetically appealing solutions for building-integrated photovoltaics. Technologies such as roll-to-roll nanoimprint lithography enable solar modules to be seamlessly integrated into building facades without compromising the design. Initial tests show that the modules are visually indistinguishable from conventional facade elements yet offer […]
