Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILTInnovative technologies for manufacturing organic solar cells
The aim of the PhotonFlex project is to develop and test innovative technologies for the cost-effective and highly productive manufacturing of flexible organic solar cells.
Surface structuring with laser radiation.
The idea is to produce the solar cells with active absorbers from the liquid phase using laser-based techniques for cell switching and highly efficient drying. This project will serve to strengthen the research and mechanical engineering sectors in North Rhine-Westphalia, thereby boosting the region’s solar industry, which is a pillar of sustainable resource utilization.
The project was launched in June 2016 and is set to run for three years.
