Perovskite solar cells

Last Updated September 18, 2024

In addition to raising awareness of perovskite solar cells, a new technology originating in Yokohama, we will cooperate with demonstration experiments and support for the conversion of products to foster momentum for decarbonization.

We have selected a proposal for a next-generation solar cell demonstration experiment utilizing public facilities!

In urban areas where solar power generation is limited, in order to further expand the spread of renewable energy, we have solicited proposals for next-generation solar cell demonstration experiments utilizing public facilities, and have selected three companies and four proposals. Did.
The first demonstration experiment of perovskite solar cell will be started at the Yokohama City Hall Atrium on September 30, 2024 (Monday).
[Press Release Page] We will start a demonstration experiment of perovskite solar cells at the Yokohama City Hall Atrium.

We are looking for proposals for next-generation solar cell demonstration experiments utilizing public facilities! [finished]

In anticipation of the spread of next-generation solar cells such as perovskite solar cells, organic thin-film solar cells, and integrated solar power generation facilities with building materials, we will support companies' technological development and promote and publicize to many citizens and visitors. In order to do so, we are looking for proposals for demonstration experiments utilizing public facilities.

What is a perovskite solar cell?

Overview


Perovskite solar cells (prototyping module at Toin University of Yokohama)

Perovskite solar cells are next-generation solar cells invented by a specially-appointed professor at Toin University of Yokohama, who is said to be a leading candidate for both the Nobel Prize in Chemistry and Physics.
Compared to conventional silicon solar cells, it has the following characteristics, so it can be expected to be deployed in various applications, and this technology can be said to be the key to expanding renewable energy.

・Thin, light, and bent
・It can be made with printing technology to paint and dry.
・Power can be generated even in weak light (cloudy weather, rainy weather, indoor)
・Most of the raw materials can be procured in Japan

Life that changes with next-generation solar cells

Image of living that changes with next-generation solar cells

By taking advantage of the characteristics of perovskite solar cells, various applications can be considered.
・By attaching it to the back of the smartphone, there is no need to carry a mobile battery.
・By attaching it to a remote control or controller, there is no need to replace batteries.
・By attaching it to clothes, it is possible to generate electricity while moving.
・It can be installed in places such as wall surfaces and curved surfaces that cannot be handled by conventional silicon solar cells.
In this way, next-generation solar cells, including perovskite solar cells, have the potential to change the future.
