Mission statement and objectives of orgaPVnet

The goal is the establishment of a common understanding for future investments and strategies concerning Organic Photovoltaics:

The measurable objectives and mission of orgaPVnet are:

  • to stimulate the restructuring of the Organic Solar Cell research community from a model of independent or collaborative research towards a model of integrated research to enhance uptake of Organic Photovoltaics.
  • to facilitate the transfer of results from the European Research to the European PV industry

  • to work on measurement standards and prediction of the performance of Organic PV cells and modules.
  • to implement more coherent National and European research activities in the field of Organic based Solar Cells.
  • to stimulate new opportunities for Organic Solar Cells research community in a wide range of application domains: identify opportunities and barriers in the European Market, identify opportunities and barriers in Export Markets.
  • to determine Organic Photovoltaic market potentials and opportunities
  • to address socio-economic and financial issues relevant to the Organic Photovoltaic sector
  • to cross-fertilize and disseminate results to the whole sector by means of various tools as a orgaPVnet website for example.
  • To develop future scenarios for advanced Organic Photovoltaics and application; identification of technology gaps and determination of requirements for a sustainable future growth

The conclusion will be an integrated vision shared by the experts from the Organic Photovolataics community in the form of a "European Organic Photovoltaics Technology Roadmap"
