In the Profile Center at FAU Solar we are striving for a revolution in photoeltaics based on

carbon instead of the customary silicon.

This enables us to produce flexible

colorful or even completely transparent solar cells

in scalable, roll-to-roll printing processes.

Such carbon-based solar cells can be installed on currently unused surfaces such as windows

trains, street signs or even greenhouses and generate energy.

We take a radically new approach to achieve breakthroughs in the area of carbon-based

photovoltaics.

At the heart of our research are unique acceleration platforms which we are currently establishing

in Erland.

In these acceleration platforms high-throughput research will be combined with artificial

intelligence.

To this end we are paving the way towards carbon-based photovoltaic technology that

will take us far beyond past and current scientific boundaries.

After 70 years of development

photovoltaics now supplies one terawatt of electricity worldwide

around 2% of the energy required.

In order to expand this share

a tremendous acceleration in research and innovation is

necessary.

In order to meet the 50 terawatt challenge

FAU Solar plays a key role with a unique consortium

unifying expertise ranging from molecular materials to devices to processes and sustainable

deployment.
