Glass Lends Flexibility to Organic PVs

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
POTSDAM, Germany, July 10, 2014 — A new carrier substrate made from flexible, 100-µm-thin layers of glass better protects organic solar modules and could simplify their manufacture. A team from the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research is developing methods for embedding organic solar modules in the flexible glass, which was developed by Corning Inc. Organic photovoltaics can be embedded in ultra-thin, flexible layers of glass. Courtesy of the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research. “Glass is not only the ideal encapsulating material, it also tolerates process temperatures...Read full article
