Low-cost, flexible organic solar cell manufacturing partnership
UK Solar cell technology developer Solar Press and coating and printing experts Kroenert have signed a long-term partnership agreement to develop and sell turnkey manufacturing solutions for organic photovoltaic (OPV) modules. This move, believed to be the first of its kind, will enable low-cost production of lightweight, flexible solar cells. This reduces the barriers to entry for OPV manufacture, extending the capability to all regions of the world.
Under the partnership agreement, Solar Press will develop and optimise its production process and ink formulations to enable the manufacture of commercial OPV modules using Kroenert’s production coating and printing equipment. Kroenert will optimise its hardware to maximise the capability of Solar Press’s OPV production process technology.
