Developing lead-free perovskites for low-cost and environmentally friendly solar panels (2025-2026)

Abstract

The project aims to manufacture commercially viable tin-based perovskite solar panels by the upscaling validation of prototype devices in collaborating with Halocell Energy, a local photovoltaic manufacturing company. This initiative will enable production of first-generation lead-free perovskite solar panels for indoor applications, portable electronics, and smart home appliances, enhancing the patented technology¿s readiness level from 4 to 6. The successful mass production of these lead-free solar panels will address the European Union's restrictions on toxic lead content in electronics, unlocking a hundred-million-dollar market by transferring the patented eco-friendly photovoltaic technologies.
