Thin Film Materials and Application Developments
New generations of solar cells based on thin-film absorber materials, such as perovskites and CIGS, are approaching the efficiency of silicon cells. At the same time, they offer the potential for lower production costs and greater design flexibility.
From Materials to High-Performance Devices
Achieving high-efficiency and stable applications requires a deep understanding of the properties of these new materials and device architectures.
At EnergyVille, we investigate both the material characteristics and device performance of perovskite solar cells. This research provides the knowledge needed to further optimise and scale up these promising technologies.
From Lab to Real-World Applications
Our work goes beyond small-scale laboratory devices. We demonstrate new materials and device architectures at multiple levels of development.
This includes lab-scale devices, full-size modules of up to 30 × 30 cm², and complete integration into real-world applications.
Integration into Buildings and Vehicles
We also focus on bringing thin-film solar technologies into practical use. To achieve this, we integrate them into end applications such as buildings and vehicles.
By validating these technologies in realistic conditions, we help accelerate the transition from laboratory innovation to market-ready photovoltaic solutions.
