Co-located with the Future of Electronics RESHAPED

Soular Innovations is excited to highlight the upcoming Perovskite Connect 2025, the world’s only dedicated event for the perovskite industry. Taking place at the ECC Berlin and co-located with The Future of Electronics RESHAPED, this two-day conference and exhibition will bring together leading researchers, technologists, and manufacturers from across the globe to showcase the latest breakthroughs in perovskite solar technology.

This specialist meeting will not only feature technical presentations from top industry experts but also provide unique opportunities for collaboration, networking, and industry-shaping discussions.

Pioneering Innovations on the Global Stage

The conference program is packed with groundbreaking announcements and technical sessions. Among the highlights:

• Oxford PV – Edward Crossland will present the world’s first commercial perovskite–silicon tandem module, demonstrating efficiency gains beyond single-junction silicon and tackling durability, scalability, and compliance challenges for industrial deployment.
• Hangzhou Microquanta – Yang Chen will share results from field validation of perovskite PV, focusing on stability, certification, and manufacturing readiness.
• Swift Solar – Maximilian Hoerantner will outline the journey from lab-scale tandem cells to wafer-level production, covering device optimization, stress testing, and scalable processes.
• Gunter Erfurt, a leading voice in solar manufacturing, will deliver an industry perspective on European and U.S. competitiveness, highlighting the impacts of Chinese overcapacity and the policy frameworks needed to scale mass production.

Technical Excellence and Scaling Pathways

Beyond flagship presentations, the program dives deep into practical challenges and solutions across the perovskite ecosystem:

• University of Rome Tor Vergata – Luigi Vesce will demonstrate ambient-air fabrication techniques such as blade, slot-die, and screen printing, achieving lifetimes over 1000 hours.
• CubicPV – Adam Lorenz will present durability-driven tandem designs, with accelerated aging tests confirming stability up to 105 °C and tandem efficiencies nearing 30%.
• Solaires – Sahar Sam will discuss pilot-scale coating methods, focusing on interface engineering and lessons learned from pre-commercial testing.
• IPVF – Nicolas Vandamme will unveil the new pilot line at Paris-Saclay (launching 2025), designed to support industrialization through manufacturing, testing, and qualification.

Materials, Manufacturing & Flexible Applications

Innovations in supporting technologies will also take the spotlight:

• Sofab Inks – Blake Martin introduces soluble-process materials that overcome fabrication bottlenecks.
• Karlsruhe Institute of Technology – Norbert Willenbacher demonstrates low-temperature metallization with reduced silver use.
• Nano-C – Henning Richter presents novel electron-transporting materials improving adhesion and passivation.
• DELO – Sebastian Stasch showcases advanced encapsulants that protect modules against moisture, extending their lifetimes.

The agenda expands into flexible and roll-to-roll solutions:

• Halocell Energy – Tom Fontaine on roll-to-roll lightweight modules for IoT applications.
• TNO | Solliance – Anuja Vijayan on green-solvent slot-die coatings with >3000h stability.
• Heliatek – Martin Hermenau on flexible OPV modules integrated into established pilot lines.
• OET / Coatema – Flex2Energy Initiative introducing the first Giga Fab for OPV/PPV using R2R printing and AI-driven analytics.

Scaling for Market Readiness

Perovskite Connect also shines a light on companies solving scalability, integration, and market challenges:

• Caelux – Scott Graybeal will present high-density solar modules designed to meet rising U.S. power demand. These innovations reduce land use, lower installation costs, and mitigate financing risks for large-scale solar projects.
• CEA – Noella Lemaitre will share strategies to scale perovskite–silicon tandems, focusing on interface engineering, deposition on textured silicon, low-temperature printing, and encapsulation for durability.
• Panacol – Lena Reinke will outline bonding technologies for flexible devices, providing advanced adhesives that act as moisture and oxygen barriers while ensuring reliable interconnections.

Next-Generation Processing

Cutting-edge manufacturing processes are another highlight of this year’s event:

• AeroSolar – Joe Briscoe introduces aerosol-assisted recrystallization, which enhances nanoscale and macroscale uniformity in perovskite films, reducing defects and boosting device yield.
• SparkNano – Alexander Bouman will present spatial ALD for SnO₂ layers in roll-to-roll format, enabling web speeds up to 80 m/min with uniform deposition at moderate temperatures.
• SALD B.V. – Hindrik de Vries will demonstrate R2R spatial ALD with over 100× higher throughput than conventional ALD, with applications in passivation, charge transport, and scalable barrier films.

Indoor & Emerging Applications

The program also highlights innovations beyond traditional solar markets:

• SOLRA-PV – Yousef Farraj on indoor photovoltaics enabling battery-free IoT.
• P3C Technology – Sooraj Kumar on perovskite scaling in India for EVs, rail, and aerospace.
• Perovskia Solar – Anand Verma on digitally printed PV for IoT devices, targeting one million annual units in Swiss production.

Exhibition & Networking Opportunities

Running alongside the technical sessions, the Perovskite Connect Exhibition will showcase cutting-edge products, services, and partnerships from across the ecosystem. This dedicated exhibition, co-located within The Future of Electronics RESHAPED, provides attendees with direct access to companies driving the industrialization of perovskites.

The floorplan (page 9 of the program) reveals a dynamic mix of exhibitors, from materials innovators to large-scale manufacturing leaders, creating a hub for collaboration and opportunity.

Perovskite Connect 2025 is more than just a conference—it’s a milestone for the global energy transition. With perovskite technology promising higher efficiencies, lower costs, and new form factors, this event offers a rare chance to witness the technologies, partnerships, and strategies that will shape the solar industry for years to come.

As the sector moves from lab-scale research to industrial deployment, events like Perovskite Connect provide the crucial platform to align academia, industry, and policy—accelerating the journey toward a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
