The majority of photovoltaic (PV) market is currently based on crystalline silicon, which theysuffer from relatively high production cost at large scale due to tedious processing condition,which may escalates its payback time. Silicon based modules currently cost 0.65 £/Watt andhave efficiencies less than 20% which is far from industry's targets of 0.03 £/Watt. This callsfor the development of new types of PV cells, having the potential to radically diminishingmanufacturing costs, through the development of organic, inorganic or hybrid materialssystems that can be employed as thin films.Nava technology, spun out from Cambridge University's Physics Department, has developed aunique and patent-pending Nanoscale Inkjet Printing (NIP) technology for Nanostructuredhybrid organic-inorganic PSC, which promises a significant enhancement in device lifetimeby x4 and a substantial 60% cost reduction through materials engineering along withutilization of scalable and inexpensive synthesis and manufacturing techniques. Its higherefficiency, reaching 21% from 0.5 cm2 devices, combined with its lower cost of bothprecursors and processing routes as well as improved stability compare to alternative organicPV, will enable far greater applications to become economically viable, e.g. electricitygeneration from building-integrated PV; its exploitation as a result contributing towardsachieving more cost-effective PV systems.

目前，大部分光伏（PV）市场是基于晶体硅的，由于繁琐的加工条件，它们遭受相对高的大规模生产成本，这可能会增加其投资回收期。硅基模块目前的成本为0.65英镑/瓦，效率低于20%，远远低于行业目标的0.03英镑/瓦。这就要求开发新型光伏电池，通过开发可用作薄膜的有机、无机或混合材料系统，具有从根本上降低制造成本的潜力。纳瓦技术，从剑桥大学物理系分离出来，开发了一种独特的、正在申请专利的纳米级喷墨打印（NIP）技术，用于纳米结构的有机-无机混合PSC，其承诺通过材料工程沿着利用可扩展的和廉价的合成和制造技术，将器件寿命显著提高× 4，并将成本显著降低60%。它的效率更高，从0.5 cm 2器件达到21%，与替代有机光伏相比，其前体和加工路线的成本更低，稳定性更高，将使更多的应用变得经济可行，例如建筑一体化光伏发电;其开发有助于实现更具成本效益的光伏系统。
