FIRST LARGE-SCALE USE OF PEROVSKITE SOLAR CELLS ON BUILDINGS SLATED FOR THIS YEAR

摘要

Skanska's commercial development business unit in Central Eastern Europe will be the first developer to cover office buildings with semi-transparent perovskite solar cells on a commercial scale. Perovskites are crystalline materials that have potential to replace silicon in solar power generation. Skanska will apply the technology, developed by Saule Technologies, onto its projects in 2018. This will be a significant milestone toward zero-energy and carbon-neutral office buildings, Skanska says. The company says that the stability and water resistance of the modules makes them ideal for the construction industry.
