Imagine printing solar cells like a giant newspaper press instead of making them one by one in a lab. This project creates a high-speed assembly line that prints lightweight, flexible solar films. These films can be applied to windows, greenhouses, or vehicle roofs to generate electricity without needing heavy glass panels.
Traditional solar panels are heavy, rigid, and difficult to integrate into building facades or vehicle roofs. Current organic PV production lacks the automated, high-speed manufacturing needed to make these products cost-competitive.
An automated Roll-to-Roll (R2R) manufacturing line including printing and assembly machines with AI-based inline quality control.
If you are a developer dealing with high energy costs for glass facades — this project developed integrated photovoltaics that act as energy-efficient windows. This allows buildings to generate power directly from their exterior walls.
If you are a greenhouse owner dealing with heat management and electricity bills — this project developed Agri-PV shade curtains. These systems make greenhouses energy autonomous while protecting crops like tomatoes.
If you are an EV maker dealing with limited battery range — this project developed vehicle-integrated photovoltaics for roofs. This increases the mileage of commercial EVs and provides power at solar carports.
The project aims to manufacture high efficiency, durable printed IPV products at a competitive cost by using an automated roll-to-roll manufacturing line.
Yes, the project is building the first-of-each-kind Automated Roll-to-Roll Manufacturing Line, incorporating Industry 4.0 concepts and AI-driven quality control.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not listed, but the project involves 11 industry partners and 6 SMEs developing the manufacturing tools.
The products are designed to comply with IEC 61215 for design and IEC 61730 for safety, covering 160 national and international regulations.
The project runs from 2023-01-01 to 2026-12-31, with the final phase focusing on demonstrating and validating products in real-world business cases.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven with a 65% industry ratio, comprising 11 companies and 6 SMEs across 8 countries. This strong commercial presence, led by a private SME coordinator, indicates a high focus on market entry and industrial scalability rather than purely academic research.
