Towards commercialisation of Perovskite PV and development of dedicated manufacturing equipment (EUPI-PV Partnership)
Funds development of manufacturing equipment and stability fixes needed to commercialise perovskite solar cells.
This Innovation Action from the European Commission is an EUPI-PV Partnership topic funding development of manufacturing equipment and stability fixes needed to commercialise perovskite solar cells, expected to fund around three projects of roughly EUR 8 million each. Activities may start at any technology readiness level but are expected to reach TRL 7-8 by the project's end. Because the results …
The Commission wants projects that solve the remaining barriers to commercialising perovskite solar cells — chiefly long-term stability, toxic-solvent use, lead containment, and scale-up of high-quality perovskite film deposition — and that demonstrate manufacturing equipment built specifically for perovskite or perovskite-silicon tandem production.
