F.A.Q
Below is a collection of questions we often encounter. If you have further questions, feel free to contact us directly - We're happy to answer any questions you may have.
Product & Application
What would be the estimated cost per watt?
The cost per watt in mass manufacturing is estimated at 0.10$/Watt.
What would be the size of the RSF panel?
We design our panel size to fit standard sizes of glasshose glasses. Since our process is one line printing process, the panel size can be easily adapted to any needed size.
What is the expected efficiency of a panel?
We harvest the blue and green light of the spectrum which are about 30% of the total energy in full spectrum. Our current PCE of a single solar cell is 11%.
Why Perovskite-based solar panels are expected to be much cheaper than Silicon-based ones?
There are several reasons:
– Cheap available materials.
– Manufacturing is a much simpler, printing-like process.
– Much cheaper manufacturing facilities enable establishing facilities close to the market and save high transportation costs.
How come the yield is expected to improve under RSF panels?
RSF solar panels harvest the blue and green light of the spectrum.Thus, it decreases the excess high energy wavelengths reaching the plant. The result is reduced heat load on plants, lesser water consumption, decreased relative air humidity and pathogenic effects, and improved yield.
Why do you expect to save water?
Plants utilize almost 95% of the water they consume for cooling. Under RSF panels, the temperature decreases, and plants need much less water.
Development/ Company
At what stage of development are you?
Currently, we’re at TRL4, with a proof of concept, a solar cell that transfers the red light with PCE (efficiency) of 11%-12%.
Are you looking for an investment?
Yes, we are.
Are you currently looking to recruit personnel?
We’ll start recruiting as soon as we raise funding.
Market
When will your products become available?
We plan to develop a manufacturing process and start low-volume panel manufacturing, with which we will conduct various pilots with different crops. We estimate a time to market of four years.
Are there any Perovskite-based panels in the manufacturing stage?
Several companies, including Oxford PV (England) and Salue Technologies (Poland), initiated production.
Technology
What are the advantages of the Perovskite technology for solar panels over Silicon-based technology?
Among the advantages, you can count abundant materials; a simple and faster, printing-like manufacturing process; Tunable band-gap with potential for higher PCE and much simpler recycling process.
Will Perovskite-based panels stand in industry standards?
Perovskite panels are already under manufacturing in tandem application and on flexible substrates. Long durability and stability are a challenge for developers and manufacturers due to the need to encapsulate the perovskite. We tackle it by choosing a more stable composition of materials, using a glass-to-glass architecture, and developing an encapsulation material. As a result, we achieve long-lasting, durable stability that withstands industry standards.
