Solliance realizes first up-scaled Perovskite based PV modules with 10% efficiency.

Eindhoven, Leuven, May 9 2016: Solliance demonstrates a record 10% aperture area power conversion efficiency for its up-scaled thin-film perovskite photovoltaic modules. The efficiency was measured on an aperture area of 168 cm2. Twenty-five cells were serial connected through an optimized P1, P2, P3 interconnection technology. The PV module was realized on a 6×6 inch2 glass substrate using industrial scale-able slot die coating in combination with laser patterning. Further, the PV module was packaged by applying a flexible barrier using a lamination process.

This result could be realized due to the intensive collaboration within Solliance. Based on previous … Read More → "Solliance realizes first up-scaled Perovskite based PV modules with 10% efficiency."
