Why Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) ?

OPV is a type of photovoltaic technologies that use organic semiconductor as photoactive element, for light harvesting and charge transport to generate electricity from sunlight or indoor light. The features of OPV are:

• Flexibility - Adaptable to Various Sizes and Shapes

  Flexibility including light weight, versatility in various form factors are the attributes that OPV offer. All these are made possible as the general processing temperature requirement is below 150C

• Printability – Roll to Roll Manufacturing

  Solution processable OPV offers possibility of using Roll to roll printing methodology to coat the layer by layer, resulting in high production speeds and lower capital costs.

• High Indoor Performance

  One of the key characteristics of OPV are their absorption characteristics is most suited to emission spectrum of fluorescent lamps and possibly for white LED as well. Furthermore, they perform better at absorbing low intensity light with high incidence angle.

• Semi-transparency

  OPV could be made semitransparent offer possibility to be use as a coating or laminates on windows in the buildings that enables power generation and transmitting light.

• Small CO2 Footprint

  A truly green sustainable energy with shorter energy payback time.
