Exploring Digital Twin Applications in Accelerating PV Material Research
On sunny days, up to 60% of the electricity in Germany is produced by photovoltaics (PV). This is good news to fight climate change, but the land use by large PV fields is a problem that must be addressed. PV integration is therefore gaining importance, for example in buildings and green houses, for which novel […]

Streamlining Experimentation: Hybrid AI Helps to Learn More About Photovoltaic Materials
At FAU Solar we use hybrid (physics aware) artificial intelligence to learn more about photovoltaic materials from faster and simpler experiments. For example, we can obtain performance relevant aspects of microstructure by analysing simple absorption spectra. In many cases, this helps us avoid more complex experiments, which is speeding up materials optimization. And what is […]

A Digital Twin to Overcome Long-time Challenges in Photovoltaics
Lüer L., Peters I.M., Smith A.S., Dorschky E., Eskofier B., Liers-Bergmann F., Franke J., Sjarov M., Brossog M., Guldi D.M., Maier A., Brabec C.J. Joule 8 (2024), 1-17 The recent successes of emerging photovoltaics (PVs) are largely driven by innovations in material science. However, closing the gap to commercialization still requires significant progress to match […]

Bypassing the Single Junction Limit with Advanced Photovoltaic Architectures
Lüer, L., Peters, M., Le Corre, V. M., Forberich, K., Guldi, D., Brabec, C. J. – Advanced Materials, 2308578, 2023 Multijunction devices and photon up- and down conversion are prominent concepts aimed at increasing photovoltaic efficiencies beyond the single junction limit. Integrating these concepts into advanced architectures may address long-standing issues such as processing complexity, […]Lüer, L., Peters, M., Le Corre, V. M., Forberich, K., Guldi, D., Brabec, C.

Cutting “lab-to-fab” short: high throughput optimization and process assessment in roll-to-roll slot die coating of printed photovoltaics
Wagner M, Distler A, Le Corre VM, Zapf S, Baydar B, Schmidt HD, Heyder M, Forberich K, Lüer L, Brabec C, Egelhaaf HJ (2023) Commercialization of printed photovoltaics requires knowledge of the optimal composition and microstructure of the single layers, and the ability to control these properties over large areas under industrial conditions. While microstructure […]

Researchers from FAU Solar have built the most efficient solar modules in the world!
The most efficient organic solar module currently available has been constructed by a FAU Solar member Andreas Distler. The module achieves a new certified (Fraunhofer ISE (CalLab PV Cells) in Freiburg) record efficiency of 14.46 per cent, beating the previous world record for organic photovoltaic modules (OPV) of 13.1 per cent set by Waystech. This proves […]
