Organic photovoltaic (OPV) technology is rapidly emerging as a key enabler for autonomous indoor IoT devices, smart sensors, and low-power electronics. In this presentation, we report the successful transition of our printed OPV technology from laboratory-scale development to pilot production and now full industrial-scale manufacturing. Our company has implemented a fully operational production line based on scalable inkjet printing processes, enabling high-throughput fabrication of customized organic photovoltaic cells and modules.
The inkjet printing approach offers significant design flexibility, allowing tailored geometries, variable form factors, and seamless integration into constrained environments and connected objects. Our modules are specifically optimized for indoor energy harvesting, demonstrating high power conversion efficiency under low-light conditions as well as long-term operational stability.
We will detail our scale-up strategy, process architecture, and lessons learned from manufacturing, including quality control and throughput optimization. Additionally, we will highlight application-driven design capabilities, illustrating how printed OPV modules can be customized to meet the growing demand for self-powered IoT devices, wearable electronics, and smart sensor networks. This work demonstrates the industrial viability of OPV technology as a scalable, reliable, and versatile solution for emerging low-power applications.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the teams at Dracula Technologies, whose dedication and expertise were instrumental to this work. We also thank our academic and industrial collaborators for their valuable contributions, and our investors for their continuous support and trust in our vision.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
