Researchers at the University of Sheffield have developed a breakthrough flexible solar cell using perovskite material, and microgrooves embossed into plastic film, making solar energy more scalable and affordable.
Unlike traditional solar panels, these lightweight, back-contact solar films eliminate expensive materials like indium and can be applied to unconventional surfaces, expanding solar power accessibility, especially in developing regions.
Developed in partnership with Power Roll, this innovation combines cutting-edge research with industrial innovation to drive sustainable energy solutions and accelerate progress toward global net-zero goals.
