VTT: Decorative and flexible solar panels become part of interior design and the appearance of objects
VTT Technical Centre of Finland has developed and utilized a mass production method based on printing technologies allowing the manufacturing of decorative, organic solar panels. Design freedom improves the range of applications of the panels on the surfaces of interior and exterior building spaces. VTT is also studying the feasibility of printing technology in the mass production of solar panels made from inorganic perovskite materials.The new mass production method enables to create interior design elements from organic solar panels (OPV, organic photovoltaics) harvesting energy from
