Organic photovoltaic opv solar cells aim to provide an earth abundant and low energy production photovoltaic pv solution.
Opv solar panels.
In early april armor announced that it has produced free form photovoltaics merging for the first time its fields of complementary expertise namely full width modules coating by the team based in la chevrolière in france and their finishing to obtain free form modules by the german team which is based in kitzingen and nuremberg.
The solar cell panels are lightweight and durable and easily installed where power is needed.
Opv is a rapidly emerging pv technology with improving cell efficiency currently 13 2 encouraging initial lifetime 5 000 hours unencapsulated and potential for roll to roll manufacturing processes.
This technology also has the theoretical potential to provide electricity at a lower cost than first and second generation solar technologies.
Organic photovoltaics offer a number of advantages ranging from rapid ultra low cost manufacturing to extremely thin lightweight and flexible form factors which present opportunities for revolutionary advances in the acceptance and deployment of solar energy.
Armor industrializes free form photovoltaics.
The opv3w60v board is a customized dcdc converter kit made for high voltage printed organic solar cells opv and low power requirements from 0 5 to 3 watts and up to 60 volt input.
