Proceedings of Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP27)
Publication date: 22nd October 2026
Organic photovoltaic (OPV) technology offers a promising solution for powering the rapidly growing number of autonomous indoor IoT devices and low-power sensors operating under artificial light. However, beyond device performance, the transition from laboratory-scale development to industrial manufacturing remains a major challenge, particularly for small, customized photovoltaic devices designed for integration into connected objects.
In this presentation, we will present Dracula Technologies’ approach to the industrialization of indoor OPV modules based on inkjet printing technology. Inkjet printing provides significant advantages for the manufacturing of small and customized photovoltaic devices, including high design flexibility, digital patterning, precise material deposition, rapid design changes and the ability to manufacture different geometries without requiring dedicated tooling. These capabilities are particularly relevant for indoor applications, where photovoltaic devices must often be adapted to the available space and integrated directly into compact electronic systems.
We will describe our development path from laboratory-scale OPV devices towards pilot manufacturing and the ongoing transition to mass production. Particular attention will be given to the manufacturing architecture, process scalability, printing of the different functional layers, process control, yield improvement and reproducibility at larger production volumes.
Our industrial platform is designed to manufacture customized OPV cells and modules optimized for low-light environments, targeting applications such as autonomous IoT devices, wireless sensors and smart connected objects. We will also discuss the main manufacturing challenges encountered during scale-up and the strategies implemented to achieve a reliable and reproducible industrial process.
This work demonstrates how inkjet-printed OPV can move beyond laboratory-scale demonstrations towards a scalable manufacturing technology capable of addressing the growing demand for compact, customized and mass-produced indoor energy harvesting solutions
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.
