Nyak Limited – Study, assessment and proof of market potentials and economics of organic perovskite solar cell technology

成本和效率仍然是广泛应用太阳能的主要障碍。商业上可用的太阳能电池大多是硅基的，成本为0.70 GB/瓦，效率在15%到20%之间，远低于行业分别设定的0.05 GB/瓦和30%的目标。基于新材料的替代太阳能电池技术最近已被开发出来，例如钙钛矿型太阳能电池，它承诺通过使用廉价材料和低成本制造工艺大幅降低成本，同时实现可与之媲美或提高的效率。然而，现有的钙钛矿设备还很昂贵，因此还没有商业化开发。Nyak为纳米结构有机钙钛矿开发了一项独特的技术，该技术承诺通过优化材料利用和低成本的合成和器件制造工艺大幅降低成本。更低的制造成本和更高的效率将使更多的应用在经济上变得可行。

Cost and efficiency are yet the main barriers to widespread adoption of solar energy.Commercially available solar cells, which are mostly Silicon-based, cost 0.70 £/Watt and haveefficiencies between 15 to 20%, far from industry's targets of 0.05 £/Watt and 30%,respectively. Alternative solar cell technologies have recently been developed based on newmaterials, such as perovskite solar cells which promise substantial cost reduction throughutilising inexpensive materials and low-cost manufacturing processes, whilst achievingcomparable or improved efficiencies. However, existing perovskite devices are yet expensive,hence have not been exploited commercially. Nyak has developed a unique technology fornanostructured organic perovskites, which promises significant cost reduction throughoptimised materials utilisation and low-cost synthesis and device fabrication processes. Itslower cost of manufacturing and higher efficiency will enable far greater applications tobecome economically viable.
