Organic Solar Films for Active Integrated BiPV Materials (Printed Electronics Europe 2014)

Aron Guttowski is Business Development Manager at Heliatek GmbH. He holds a Master of Science in Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems from the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität of Freiburg. He has further working experience as a research scientist at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems in the field of applied optics. At Heliatek he is responsible for key customer relationships and for identifying new business opportunities.

Heliatek is engaged in the development and production of organic photovoltaic solar cells. The company was founded in 2006 and is leveraging organic materials to improve the cost-efficiency characteristics of solar cells for large area applications.

By utilizing vacuum technology, Heliatek is developing a new proprietary material that displays unprecedented power efficiency, transport and contact properties as well as extended life-time characteristics.

In 2010 the company is preparing its production line.

 

Heliatek's proprietary technology relies on the vacuum deposition of so-called small molecules, a technology proven successful in OLEDs. In contrast, so-called plastic solar cells pursued by other companies are prepared by solution processing (e.g., printing) of polymers.
