Australian clean technology company Halocell Energy will team with South Korea-based flexible transparent electrode manufacturer MSWay as it works to fast-track the commercialisation of its lightweight, flexible perovskite solar cells.
Halocell Energy has signed a memorandum of understanding with MSWay which will provide electrode materials to support the expansion of flexible perovskite PV cell production at Halocell’s manufacturing facility in the New South Wales Riverina region and accelerate the commercialization of the technology.
Under the agreement, MSWay will supply its proprietary flexible transparent electrode (FTE) materials for integration into Halocell’s roll-to-roll (R2R) manufacturing processes at its production facility in Wagga Wagga.
Halocell, which produces lightweight and flexible PV modules optimised for low-light conditions, said FTEs are a critical component in perovskite solar cells, directly determining the charge collection efficiency, light transmittance, and flexibility of the cells.
“As a result, FTE technology plays a decisive role in the overall performance, durability, and reliability of next-generation flexible solar applications,” the company said.
