Organic photovoltaics is the term used to describe solar cells based on organic semi-conductor materials, which in the future could replace the silicon that is used today.
New materials, production processes and installation technologies will make solar energy more efficient and cost effective in the long term. This new technology will thus pave the way for sustainable and competitive energy production.
New materials represent the beginning of a system innovation and determine key properties of the end product.
- BASF develops organic semiconductor materials with high thermal and photochemical stability.
- Their excellent light-absorption properties allow them to be applied in thin layers by vapor deposition or by printing.
- The low energy input required to produce the materials coupled with favorable manufacturing and installation technologies make organic solar cells competitive over the long term.
Close networking of the disciplines materials, cell design and module production is of paramount importance.
BASF's competence in materials research and the expertise of our partners on the technology side meet at the interface of material innovation and device technology. Partners include Bosch and Heliatek.
