Low-cost manufacturing

The FLISOM technology is based on the concepts that led to the world record for light-to-power conversion efficiency of solar cells on plastic, developed at ETH Zurich. The cost of electricity produced with such solar cells will be significantly lower than with the solar cell technologies common today. Roll-to-roll manufacturing technology allows continuous deposition of thin films onto flexible plastic substrates at high speeds. Coating in vacuum enables fabrication of very pure materials that reach highest efficiencies.
