CEA-INES Organic & Perovskite PV Module Platform

MAIN FEATURES :

This infrastructure has 20 years of experience in the development of printed phootovoltaic technologies  with a consistent awareness of stability and reliability of materials, architectures and PV devices

It is invoilved in:

• development and integration of ultra light-weight (<500g/m²), ultra thin (<1mm), flexible and conformable (curvature <5cm), semi-transparent, with design on-demand organic & perovskite photovoltaic modules, which can be efficient under natural illumination and/or under indoor illumination
• Study and optimisation of efficiency and reliability of organic and/or perovskite PV products
• Strategic support to their partners for the development of the perovskite technology at the industrial scale
• Development of specific, efficient and reliable PV modules for specific  products or application (indoor, outdoor)
• Testing and optimisation for the integration of new materials and processes for organic and perovskite modules
• Optoelectronic characterizations for thin films and PV devices
• Characterizations of gas barrier properties (high sensitive permeameter, Ca test,…)
• Test protocols for reliability testing of materials and PV devices
• Benchmark and formulations of materials (glovebox platform for testing of innovative materials and architectures for PV devices)

It offers:

• Expertise along the whole value chain for the elaboration of organic & perovskite PV devices (materials, formulations, deposition processes and encapsulation)
• The development of materials (adhesives, barrier film) and a full solution of encapsulation with associated processes.
• Advanced characterization equipment and methodology for stability assessment of organic and perovskite cells and modules (SSPG, electroluminescence, photoluminescence, LBIC, adhesion testing,…)
• Reliability and durability test platform with outdoor facilities in various climates and indoor accelerated ageing tests.
