Greek Firm OET Seeks to Mass Produce Flexible Multicolour Solar Panels
- OET has actually joined Lab for Thin Films-- Nanobiomaterials, Nanosystems and Nanometrology (LTFN) for a project to make certain scaling up of thin, light, flexible and solar energy panels.
- OET has actually secured over EUR 21 million from the Horizon program from the European Union.
As the globe is beeping in the direction of the renewable sources of energy-- mostly targeting the solar irradiance to produce electrical power-- a new player is mulling to bring out flexible photovoltaic panels that would additionally enhance the development of solar energy globe over. In a key growth, Greek startup Organic Electronic Technologies (OET) has claimed that it has secured funds to set up a pilot plant that will certainly allow production of third-generation photovoltaics that will certainly be flexible in nature.
Thessaloniki based OET additionally informed that it has joined Lab for Thin Films-- Nanobiomaterials, Nanosystems and Nanometrology (LTFN) which is based at Aristotle University. LTFC will certainly be heading a project to ensure the scaling up of thin, light, flexible as well as solar power panels that will certainly additionally be transparent or semi-transparent. The new solar panels will certainly also be available in multiple shades.
OET said in its discussion that the firm intends to touch annual production capacity of one million square meters by 2025 end. OET has secured over EUR 21 million from the Horizon program from the European Union. The funds are meant for the Flex2Energy established in Thessaloniki.
At present, OET is already making third-generation PV panels through nanotechnology. The flexible photovoltaic panels will have several applications that could increase the solar setups throughout the globe.
According to OET, the project is likewise taken part by the Hellenic Organic and also Printed Electronic Association (HOPE-A) and also 14 various other industrial and also research study institutions of Europe. OET said that the flexible PV panel innovation exists being utilized and also tested through a series of applications like structures, greenhouses, electrical cars etc.
The printed organic photovoltaics from the new production facility are expected to be available in a range of layouts and also mixes with various other products. OET says that the new photovoltaic panels could be utilized in various solid frameworks, mobile as well as makeshift items as well. This will certainly likewise help organisations and also economic situations to develop state-of-the-art employment. Examples of such applications could be greenhouses, car auto parking or family home windows as well as verandas.
