It has been almost six years since, with the financial help of Hideo Sawada, a Japanese investor and his company HIS, we started a project aimed at setting up a perovskite production line. Many years of research, testing and hard work are now entering the implementation phase - says Olga Malinkiewicz, founder of Saule Technologies.
Perovskite solar cells will help change the world - said Malinkiewicz - this is the hope for cheap green energy and energy transformation. Printed, ultra-thin (hair-like), lightweight and flexible perovskite-based solar cells are both durable and efficient. The Polish company is the first to enter the commercialization phase of this future-oriented technology.
Due to their unique properties, perovskite cells can be used wherever traditional silicon cells have no chance of working: on roofs of lightweight buildings, on windows, because the cells may be partially transparent, on cars, sails, tents, laptop housings or telephones. They will power drones and Internet of Things devices - says Piotr Krych, president of Saule Technologies.
Now, companies from various sectors of the economy are seriously interested in Saule Technologies products. The company has just signed a cooperation agreement with the MVGM Group, which manages commercial real estate in 10 European markets.
