Profile
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.
