SOLAR PRINT

SOLAR-PRINT will develop a technology to produce, on an industrial scale, large-area polymeric solar cells which are lightweight, cheap and easy to integrate, thanks to a continuous "Roll-to-Roll" printing technique... Photovoltaic modules produced by means of this technology, based on solution-processable organic semiconductors, will have a competitive cost, down to half of the commercial silicon solar cells now on the market, and they will be "green" thanks to a lower energy consumption needed for their fabrication, to a shorter payback time and to a lower production of equivalent green-house gases... This technology will allow the fabrication of flexible solar cells on a plastic substrate, in the shape of long ribbons, colored and semi-transparent, paving the way to novel applications, and markets, which are innovative, and at the same time alternative with respect to silicon ones.
