Overview
A Canadian-Swiss-German collaboration is moving semi-transparent organic photovoltaics from laboratory prototypes toward commercialization. The reported devices reached up to 12.04% efficiency at cell level and 10.2% in fully printed prototype modules, with commercial availability targeted for 2028 and a projected cost below $150 per square meter.
