Flexible perovskite programmer TubeSolar achieves 14% performance on solar films
- German photovoltaic (PV) thin-film tubes programmer TubeSolar AG (ETR:9 TS) has actually achieved a performance record of 14% on solar films in the industrially ideal "roll-to-roll" process as part of its perovskite research activities.
The turning point was reached along with the Centre for Solar Energy and also Hydrogen Research Baden-Wuerttemberg (ZSW), TubeSolar revealed on Monday.
The company explained that the partners have deposited all layers, besides the front and also rear calls, using slot die. The finish procedure has actually achieved a rate that surpassed one metre per minute, according to TubeSolar.
The companions aim at getting to similar degrees of performance with larger solar films as well as therefore commercialise slot die deposition as an industrially-suitable covering method for flexible perovskite solar cells. Such cells are utilized for the production of tubular PV panels for agri-photovoltaics as well as various other applications.
"Preferably, perovskite modern technology should already be made use of as part of the upscaling of very automated mass production in the coming year," TubeSolar kept in mind. The company's purpose is to broaden its facility in Augsburg to an annual production capacity of 250 MW in the next few years.
