Project overview
APOLO, short for SmArt Designed Full Printed Flexible PhotOnic-enhanced Organic HaLide PerOvskite solar cells, embarked on a journey on April 1, 2018, with an ambitious end date of July 31, 2022. This groundbreaking research and innovation project, led by an international consortium headed by Leitat, aimed to develop solar cells that are flexible, reliable, and fully printable. APOLO united esteemed partners such as the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE, Uninova, Università di Roma Tor Vergata, and CEA, alongside industry giants like Arkema and promising SMEs including Flexbrick, Greatcell Solar Italia, Cambridge Nanomaterials Technology Ltd, and Accurec.
Project focus
APOLO’s primary goal was to create PSCs with an impressive efficiency of 22%, while ensuring they maintain 90% performance even after aging tests. This innovative approach aimed to push the boundaries of solar technology and provide a competitive alternative to traditional energy sources.
