Workshop: Industrialization of Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaic Technology

BFE Swissphotonics

Topic
More than a decade of organic-inorganic perovskite solar cell research and development has propelled this thin film technology out of the research laboratories into real world. Several companies worldwide are taking up the challenge of scale-up in a multitude of ways and have already reached the 100 MWp/year production capacity.

One strategy consists of single junction perovskite architectures rivaling with established photovoltaic technologies. Another one aims at flexible customizable solar panels with single- or tandem junction cell structures entering more specialize markets with only few competitors. Yet a third approach consists of «marrying» established technologies in a joint tandem architecture. This workshop brings together the foremost actors in this fascinating industrial development.

With this workshop we intend to update and inform about the progresses made and challenges faced by companies pushing forward industrialization of perovskite solar cells. Targeted are scientists and engineers in the field of solar cells as well as industrialists and investors being interested in this vibrant field.
