One of the challenges for OPV and Perovskite photovoltaic is finding real solutions for actual and future commercialization. The two photovoltaic technologies, currently under developing at CSEM Brasil, are in a different maturity stage in the applied research and potentially with diversified market prospects by their very nature, at least in the short term.

OPV is already a production reality applied by our spinoff SUNEW but still with some important challenges such as increasing modules efficiency and their stability for specific applications related a reasonable cost. In the other hand the perovskite PV still needs to do some important steps with, in part, different challenge before being applied commercially. Both technologies require a constant compromise between efficiency, lifetime and costs compatible with the module evolution stage and their final applications.

With this talk we will try to understand what potentially join the two technologies and what differentiates them, both from a scale-up point of view.
