Winner of the category “Freestyle Demonstrator”: Printed Perovskite Solar Energy Module

VTT, Finland

A fully roll-to-roll manufacturing process of through-substrate vias enabled double-sided printed electronics. The energy module by VTT consists of a photovoltaic module on one side, and a battery on the other side of a flexible plastic substrate.  The processing was done in a combination of roll-to-roll and sheet based processes to enable high degree of integration of the flexible perovskite solar module. This is a first for a double sided hybrid system with a gravure printed perovkite layer.

Purpose

  • Enable embedded smartness and intelligence for IoT, identification and sensing applications
  • Integration and manufacturing process development for double-sided flexible systems
  • Enable space reduction and hide/embed features on the backside
  • Enable user interface on both sides for increasing the opportunities in product design

Target Group

  • IoT
  • Printing and Packaging
  • Smart Buildings
