According to a report from pv magazine Italia, New Time has detailed a four-phase roadmap to commercialize perovskite solar cell production in Italy. The plan follows a strategic meeting in Forli within the Emilia-Romagna region.
The initial year will concentrate on refining the perovskite formula and selecting stabilizing materials. A subsequent phase will involve starting limited production for certification purposes.
The third year of the project is dedicated to creating an industrial manufacturing solution. Full-scale production is scheduled to commence in the fourth year, with pilot-scale output anticipated within three years.
To facilitate this rollout, the company intends to dedicate existing industrial facilities to the initiative, supported by internal investment. Funding is reportedly already in progress, sourced from the reinvestment of company profits into innovation and research.
New Time indicated that current perovskite module pricing is affected by unoptimized processes and ongoing material choices. The project seeks to enhance cost competitiveness against established photovoltaic technologies while pursuing performance and efficiency improvements.
The recent Forli meeting involved researchers from Italian and Dutch institutions, including the Italian National Research Council, the University of Bari Aldo Moro, and Delft University of Technology. The discussions centered on defining operational stages and establishing methods for sharing expertise and technologies.
