- Organic PV cell, 2cm²
Organic PV is a technology well suited to flexible designs, for consumer applications rather than for long-term power supply. Research on organic PV covers topics ranging from basic studies such as material development and modelling to specific processing methods and accelerated ageing test procedures for encapsulation and reliability testing.
Seven Research Infrastructures are available in this field of organic PV:
