All businesses want lower energy costs, but switching to renewables has not been viable without subsidies. Silicon photovoltaic (PV) solutions are more expensive compared to carbon based energy because of the high cost of manufacturing panels. Globally, more than 1.3 billion people still do not have access to electricity and largely rely on costly or polluting diesel-powered generators. To solve this, Big Solar Ltd is developing Power Roll (PR), a new type of ultra-low cost, lightweight, flexible and durable solar PV, indepedently proven at lab scale, that is different to Silicon and thin film PV. This feasibility study will apply existing SEAC manufacturing technology to a new field. By developing improved structural architectures, novel PVD machine capabilities and quantum dot based inks, enhanced electrode material deposition techniques and coating techniques, this project will pave the way for future growth in PV technology, with massive growth potential for related SEAC manufacturing applications.

所有企业都希望降低能源成本，但如果没有补贴，转向可再生能源是不可行的。由于制造电池板的成本较高，硅光伏(PV)解决方案比碳基能源更昂贵。在全球范围内，仍有超过13亿人无法用上电，主要依赖昂贵或污染严重的柴油发电机。为了解决这一问题，Big Solar Ltd正在开发Power Roll(PR)，这是一种超低成本、重量轻、灵活耐用的新型太阳能光伏，已在实验室规模得到独立验证，不同于硅光伏和薄膜光伏。这项可行性研究将把现有的SEAC制造技术应用到一个新的领域。通过开发改进的结构架构、新颖的PVD机器能力和基于量子点的油墨、增强的电极材料沉积技术和涂层技术，该项目将为未来光伏技术的发展铺平道路，为相关的SEAC制造应用提供巨大的增长潜力。
