OPV – Organic photovoltaic is the last generation technology of solar cells that is redefining solar power.
Organic solar cells are flexible, unbreakable, non-toxic and are made of recyclable materials with an excellent performance at sub-optimal angle of incidence as well as at elevated temperature unlike traditional photovoltaic material. At the heart of the technology is a photoreactive polymer that allow the production of organic solar panels thin, semi-transparent and flexible that can transform light into electricity anywhere.

100% Recyclable

Flexible and Lightweight

Customizable

The picture below shows how the printed active material absorbs photons to trigger the release of electrons which are then transported to create electricity. The active material is sandwiched between printed electrodes which are sandwiched between the substrate and the transparent packaging material.

The less sensitive to angle of solar incidence is another great advantage of OPV technology that allow to collect energy at up to 70º off-axis from nearly sunrise to sunset.

In addition the others specific advantages of OPV solar technologies are the positive thermal efficiency coefficient, the easy to manufacture, the low light sensitivity (indoor/outdoor), and the semi-transparent.
