Not limited to German firms or organisations, the OEE is attempting to offer a pan-European approach to OPV activities, including standards.
“We are seeing market entry in organic photovoltaics” said, Dr. Stephan Kirchmeyer, chairman of the OE-A and head of the business unit, functional coatings at Heraeus Precious Metals. “We are expanding and extending our activities in the area of energy generation with this new working group.”
Initial participating companies include Amor Group, Belectric OPV, DisaSolar, Eight19, Heliatek and Mekoprint, while research institutions such as VTT, Holst Centre, CSEM as well as CEA are also participating in the new group.
OEE expected more international companies along the entire value chain of OPV to joining the working group over the next several months.
