with organic photovoltaics, connection technology faces the special requirement of...
…connecting cables to very thin films
Also, the connection components need to connect really tightly to the film to prevent any moisture getting in through capillary action
Organic photovoltaics also allows for countless different shapes.
We can match this flexibility with our connection technolgy.
What makes our solution special is the fact that we use a moulding mass which binds to the film,...
…giving us a thight connection. No moisture at all can get in.
The main difference between organic and silicon-based photovoltaics is...
…the different performance characteristics of the technology.
We can make much better use of OPV in the area of building facades and non-typical photovoltaic applications, because...
…in terms of energy yield, OPV has performance characteristics which are considerably better than those of classic photovoltaics.
OPV generates more power than classic photovoltaics.
This is, because we have a different kind of architecture in the cell, allowing us to make better use of the incident light.
What makes organic photovoltaics special is…
…the freedom that designers and architects have.
With this new printing technology, they can design the solar cells according to the specific dimensions of the project.
This provides greater freedom within solar technology than before.
We are of course familiar with the large panels and grid spacing, which have been downright tormenting architects.
This is now over. Another particularity is how delicate these components are, this ultra-thin network...
…- they can be very unobtrusive.
And with sunlight comes another factor: OPV is see-through, transparent. So there is a wondervul interplay of light here on the foliage behind us.
This means ther is now an entirely new aesthetic element that didn't exist before.
This is very interesting for building contractors. The technology can be used not only in many south-facing facades...
… but also in those facing all other directions.
This makes it more cost-effective. There are many more options for integrating OPV into a building...
…improving its energy efficiency and equipping it for the future.
After all, additional expenses is a topic that is becoming increasingly important.
