Greatcell Solar Italia (wholly owned subsidiary of Greatcell Energy Pty Ltd) has recently secured €400,000 European Union (EU) funding through the Graphene Flagship Core 3 Project.

Conventional silicon solar cells are reaching their upper efficiency limits. Perovskite are widely regarded as the future of solar power, having theoretical efficiencies much higher than silicon cells, and much lower manufacturing costs.

One aim of this EU Flagship project is to utilize the unique properties of graphene to improve perovskite cell performance. The specific goal is to boost stability and efficiency, while reducing costs.

The project will enable the Greatcell Energy group to move significantly towards its roadmap ofindustrialisation of Perovskite based Photovoltaic Panels.

This European Funded project is one of only two “Flagship” projects established by the European Commission. The Flagship projects have a stated vision:

“Flagships are visionary, science-driven, large-scale research initiatives addressing grand Scientific and Technological (S&T) challenges. They are long-term initiatives bringing together excellent research teams across various disciplines, sharing a unifying goal and an ambitious research roadmap on how to achieve it.”

The consortium that is involved in the flagship includes over 150 academic and industrial partners in over 20 European countries. The project has total approved funding of €150Million over 36 months. €400,000 funding has been allocated to Greatcell Solar Italia.
