Perovskite solar panels developers - Page 6

Japan-based Sekisui Chemical was established in 1947 and consists of three division companies (entities) and a corporate department. Sekisui is involved in a wide range of business in industries like: real-estate and housing, electronics, automotive, various chemicals and plastics (like photosensitive materials, semiconductors and more) and more.

In the field of perovskites, Sekisui seems to be involved in research pertaining to aspects of solar cells like encapsulation and coatings, stability improvements and more. The Company may be working with Panasonic, but this is not confirmed.

In 2023, Sekisui announced it will begin mass production of perovskite solar cells, in an effort to catch up with Chinese competitors.

Solaires Enterprises (SE) is a Canada-based company aiming to make solar energy more accessible. It is committed to reducing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions with an ethical manufacturing process.

Its solution uses technology that incorporates perovskites into its Solar Ink that has a unique formulation that allows the fabrication of perovskite film with high energy conversion efficiency and high stability.

This allows SE to develop products, such as photovoltaic blinds, tiles, and windows, that incorporate the technology and reduce the average consumer's carbon footprint.

SE's inks can be used for different types of rigid and flexible substrates. It has been specially formulated to make it compatible with different fabrication processes, including spin coating, slot-die and blade-coating.

Due to the high photoluminescence quantum yield of perovskites at room temperature, SE's Solar Ink can also be used for light-emitting diodes (LED) applications with strong emission in the near-infrared region.

In 2023, the company started producing and marketing perovskite solar panel modules.

Solar-Tectic is a thin-film specialist with patented technology primary focused on developing highly textured, single crystal semiconductor films on glass or other low-cost substrates.

Solar-Tectic's primary focus is solar cells, but also extends to LEDs, OLEDs and superconducting wires. Solar-Tectic has developed a perovskite/crystalline silicon thin-film tandem solar cell technology for highly efficient and inexpensive solar cells.

Solliance is a partnership of R&D organizations from the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, working on thin film photovoltaic solar energy. Aiming to strengthen the EU region's position as a world player in PV, Solliance is creating synergy by consolidating and coordinating the activities of 250 researchers in industry, at research institutes and universities.

Various state-of-the-art laboratories and pilot production lines are jointly used for dedicated research programs which are executed in close cooperation with the solar business community.

Among Solliance Research Partners are: ECN, imec, TNO, Holst Centre, TU/e, Forschungszentrum Julich, University Hasselt and Delft University of Technology.

Solliance offers participation in its research programs and opens up its lab facilities to new entrants, either from industry or in research. On the basis of clear Intellectual Property agreements, each industrial partner can participate in this research effort, or alternatively, hire equipment and experts to further develop its own technology.

SOLRA-PV, based in Israel, was spun-off from the Hebrew University to commercialize the research of Prof. Lioz Etgar, aiming to develop next-generation perovskite PVs for indoor applications (mainly IoT devices).

The SOLRA-PV panels feature adjustable and tunable light absorbance, to enable light conversion from artificial indoor light.
