Halocell & Sofab Inks join on new perovskite PV modules in Australia

An Australian developer in third-generation perovskite solar technology, Halocell Energy and Sofab Inks have partnered to advance perovskite photovoltaic technology. The collaboration is focused on developing scalable manufacturing and improving material performance. Sofab Inks supply nanoparticle inks for charge transport layers to enhance stability and reduce costs. Halocell is continuing its work on perovskite inks for diverse applications. They are working together to produce flexible, foil-like photovoltaic modules. These modules are made for sensors, monitors, drones, satellites, and solar rooftops. Halocell also launched the Halocell Ambient Modules for low-light conditions of 500 lux and below. The modules are lightweight, flexible, and 98% recyclable. Plans include ultra-lightweight photovoltaic panels for satellites and drones, capable of harvesting light from any surface.The partnership builds on Halocell’s recent work from May, when it developed lead-free tin solar panels with the University of Queensland.
