Netherlands-basedTNO,expertise in thin-film development, in collaboration with Kalpana Systems and HyETSolar,has launched the Perovision Project to improve perovskite solar cell manufacturing. The project focused on enhancing nickel oxide (NiOx) layers using spatial Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) to increase efficiency, reliability, and stability. Scaling up production remained challenging, limiting wider adoption. Spatial ALD enabled precise NiOx deposition at high speed, making large-scale production more cost-effective. TNO worked on material characterisation, Kalpana Systems developed a scalable ALD system, and HyETSolar aimed to integrate the technology into roll-to-roll flexible perovskite production. The project received an EKOO: Electricity Subsidy grant to support the Netherlands' energy transition. The project has started from February 2025 to 2027, with industrial use planned by mid-2027 and large-scale production expected by 2030.
