4 FAQs about Berlin PV Flexible Module Project

Why is flexible thin-film PV important?

The developed technologies boost the power output of flexible thin-film PV, paving the way for the uptake of long awaited applications such as integrated PV. By exploiting already existing surfaces for solar energy generation, land-use conflicts will be minimized and the total costs for PV can be reduced.

Can flexible perovskite-CIGS thin-film solar cells boost efficiency?

SOLMATES researchers aim to boost efficiency by making flexible perovskite-CIGS thin-film solar devices. In the realm of perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells, a few prominent research institutions including HZB have recorded efficiencies exceeding 30%. Such high efficiency, however, has never been achieved with flexible solar cells.

What is a solmates encapsulated monolithic interconnected tandem thin-film module?

SolMates will demonstrate a 100 cm² flexible, lightweight, durable, encapsulated monolithic interconnected tandem thin-film module with more than 25%.

What's new in module production?

In module production, we are focusing on new topologies such as matrix shingling, which achieves particularly aesthetic results in combination with our MorphoColor® technology. We are also conducting research on tandem modules that allow the highest module efficiencies in fixed installations or in concentrating tracking systems.
