About perovskite PV

Perovskite PV has a wide range of applications as it is lightweight and flexible unlike conventional PV modules and can be installed where conventional PV modules cannot be installed.

In Japan, where land for PV plants is limited, it has long attracted attention as a crucial technology for renewable energy expansion.  R&D is in progress to overcome challenges for commercialization, such as durability.

As perovskite PV has similar manufacturing processes to thin film PV, we can make the best proposal utilizing our long experience in thin film PV module manufacturing equipment.
