Organic PV is no longer an R&D topic. Aim for the Nürnberg-based company Belectric OPV was to match design, or inlays for product integration into all kinds of mobile and stationary applications with PV surfaces. Furthermore, the new range also includes products that focus on the architecture sector and offer unprecedented possibilities for energy harvesting in facade design and urban furnishings.
Alongside the Solarte' range the firm is also further developing the power plastic product line, which is primarily aimed at large-scale industrial applications. The active solar films produced by Belectric OPV under the brand name Opvius are using Merck’s latest generation of lisicon materials and were optimized for BIPV. Opvius received the Innovation Award Architecture + Building at the trade fair BAU 2017.
