Project R-14011

Title

StreP - Stretchable PV foil (Research)

Abstract

This project aims to make the interconnection between solar cells stretchable. We will use flexible CIGS photovoltaic (PV) cells, which are also used in present flexible PV modules. A patent pending technology has been developed to create a series interconnection between the flexible solar cells, that at the same time can be stretched several millimeters, so that an elongation of 3 to 10% of the PV foil would become possible.

Period of project

01 November 2023 - 30 April 2025
