Power Generation from Perovskite Architectural Elements

The project “PoweR gEneration From perOvskite aRchitectural eleMents” (REFORM) aims to revolutionize Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) using scalable techniques like Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), Slot-die Coating (SDC), and Gravure Printing (GP) for large-area perovskite solar cells. These methods will enable the industrial fabrication of perovskite and charge transport layers, meeting architectural needs for semitransparency and color.

REFORM will demonstrate stable, efficient perovskite solar cells with potential for integration into buildings using scalable processes. This project supports the Clean Energy Transition Partnership, promoting clean energy in Europe through collaboration between national institutions. It aims to develop novel power generation solutions with wide market potential. By integrating PV into windows and facades, REFORM addresses urban renewable energy needs where space is limited, making BIPV a profitable solution. The projects aesthetic solutions will suit both new and historical buildings, adapting to various climates and areas.
