Advanced Materials for High Efficiency Solar Cells

New global energy demand is being driven by vehicle electrification, data centers, and AI computing. According to the International Energy Association, over 75% of all newly installed renewable energy generation comes from solar.

Emerging solar cell designs require more than traditional silicon suppliers can offer. Reliable fullerene acceptors and flexible transparent conducting electrodes are what make next-generation device performance and stability possible.

Nano-C is the world’s leading supplier of industrial scale products for Perovskite and Thin Film Solar applications. 

Perovskite Solar

The next generation of utility-scale solar power is being driven by perovskite solar.

Tandem Perovskite Solar: Combining perovskite with silicon in tandem architectures pushes efficiency beyond what either can achieve alone. Together these two layers deliver 30%-50% more power from the same area.

Single Junction Perovskite: The emerging use of perovskite solar cells offers thin, lightweight, high-efficiency solar cells that offer low-cost, high-volume production compatible for industrial printing.

Thin-Film Solar

Thin-film solar or organic photovoltaics (OPVs) offers a promising path toward ubiquitous, lightweight, flexible, and sustainable solar energy solutions.

Indoor OPV: The latest generation of products offer significant energy harvesting capabilities from indoor lighting.  This allows for elimination of batteries or significantly extended battery life for use in applications like consumer electronics.

BIPV: Building Integrated Photovoltaics can be installed into various architectural use cases for reducing heat load and energy harvesting. Often semi-transparent solar panels can be integrated into windows, shades and walls.

Outdoor OPV: High durability, thin, lightweight solar cells can be integrated into vehicles and the outdoor built environment for energy harvesting where traditional silicon solar panels are not viable.
