Eight19 CTO Michael Niggemann, will present at the 8th Plastic Electronics Conference & Exhibition 2012. Dr Niggemann will speak on the "Development and Up-scaling of Organic Photovoltaic Modules for Off-grid Applications"
Eight19 develops and manufactures flexible organic solar modules, with a specific focus on off-grid markets. While the on-grid market for solar is maturing, there exists a large – and largely unserved – off-grid market of 1.5 billion potential customers in emerging markets requiring basic energy for which solar PV and in particular OPV is well suited.
Eight19 will address the challenges in the technology development of low-cost, efficient solar modules for these applications and give an overview state-of-the-art of the technology development at Eight19. Dr. Niggemann will in particular address the constraints in the choice of materials and processes experienced in the technology transfer to a roll-to-roll fabrication process.
