LUMEN: Lightweight Ultra-thin perovskite Manufacturing processes and equipment for scalable ENergy generation

Objectif

Europe’s commitment to >700 GW of new solar capacity by 2030 is under threat from its reliance on Chinese photovoltaics, Critical Raw Materials, and the lack of scalable, sustainable domestic alternatives. Perovskite Solar Cells (PSCs) offer a high‑efficiency alternative that can be manufactured within Europe, as their composition relies on widely available perovskite material commodities unlike traditional solar cells, which rely on high‑purity silicon predominantly produced in China. However, PSC commercialisation remains constrained by instability, durability, environmental risks, and scalability challenges. PSCs are predicted to be a disruptive PV technology as they combine high power conversion efficiencies, low levelized cost of energy, thin‑film architectures, and excellent power‑to‑weight performance, making them well‑suited to lightweight and Building Applied Photovoltaics applications.

LUMEN addresses these challenges by developing scalable roll‑to‑roll (R2R) production processes and equipment that incorporates spatial Atomic Layer Deposition (sALD) for advanced encapsulation, low‑toxicity precursor inks, optimised adhesives for module sealing, and scalable interconnects using conductive paste systems to establish durable, lightweight, flexible perovskite photovoltaics manufacturing in Europe. By embedding Safe‑and‑Sustainable‑by‑Design principles to minimise material toxicity, potential Pb²⁺ release and End‑of‑Life impacts, and validating encapsulation as a primary containment barrier, LUMEN will create a sustainable pathway for high‑efficiency flexible perovskite PV in Europe and contribute to a resilient European PV industry and the EU Solar Energy Strategy.
