Objective
IoT and electronic devices are mostly powered by batteries, which comes with significant challenges:
Batteries have a limited lifespan and to avoid any downtime, they need regular recharging or replacement contributing to maintenance costs.
Environmental Impact & Resource Scarcity: The production of batteries involves the mining of rare and highly-demanded minerals such as lithium and rare transition metals such as cobalt and nickel.
E-waste management: End-of-life battery disposal is a significant challenge.
Device manufacturers are actively looking for solution to reduce the usage of batteries, extend device’s autonomy as well as comply with regulation pressures to reduce disposable battery usage. Indoor photovoltaics (IPVs) are the only technology capable of delivering sufficient, directly integrable power. However, current IPV solutions still lack custom design flexibility, optimal low-light performance, and ease of integration, limiting their adoption vs. batteries.
Perovskia aims to revolutionize the energy harvesting landscape, by introducing the world's most versatile and high-performing perovskite PV cell. Our cells harness ambient light to power the next generation of self-sustaining devices, drastically reducing reliance on batteries and minimizing waste. Innovating both in chemistry and proprietary inkjet-printed perovskite technology, we have managed to digitally print customized solar cells capable of adapting to various electrical and IoT devices. A truly reliable portable energy source, that offers:
Design freedom / maximum integration by digitally printed perovskite solar cells.
Superior efficiency / performance both in outdoor and indoor conditions.
Robustness overcoming the typical degradation of perovskites.
Cost-Efficiency ensuring scalability while maintaining disruptive production costs at mass scale.
Environmental and material sustainability by avoiding the use of toxic and/or rare raw materials.
