Funded Activity Summary

Hermetic encapsulated perovskite solar cells for energy harvesting glazings. This project aims is to develop fully hermetic, vacuum encapsulation for perovskite solar cells as energy harvesting glazing systems in buildings with high thermal insulation. This glazing system should simultaneously mitigate heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter, control the entry of light, and generate electric power. This project seeks to develop a new advanced glass encapsulation method with electrical feedthroughs that is fully compatible with perovskite solar cells. It should revolutionise the architectural glazing market with a new generation product with unprecedented electrical power generation capacity and a simultaneous increase in thermal insulation to provide the ultimate energy solution for future cities. An expected outcome from this project is a range of new products to expand the solar market beyond roof-top applications and solar farms.
