Printed Electronics Photovoltaics & Batteries

With escalating concerns over climate change and unsustainable energy sources, it is of great concern that the world economy has not achieved faster levels of de-carbonisation.

One of the largest photovoltaic solar projects in the world will be located in California to deliver 1.65 billion kilowatt-hours of renewable energy annually.

Dye-Sensitised Thin Film solar cells manufactured by G24 Innovations (G24i) have been integrated into the sail of Swan's '2041' boat, which is currently sailing around the world raising awareness on climate change.

MIT engineers in the USA have been working on pioneering research to develop tiny microbatteries about half the size of a human cell, built with viruses.

MIT researchers have overcome a major barrier to large-scale solar power: storing energy for use when the sun doesn't shine.
