Present State of Plastic Solar Cells
“The plastic solar cells will be commercialized soon!!”
Printed Modules
Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology develops a novel organic photovoltaic module architecture
Using an innovative series connection based on charge recombination That occurs at the contacts between charge transport layers large-area OPV modules Can be easily fabricated.
