Automated tools more efficiently produce flexible solar panels in Japan

According to The Asahi Shimbun, a research institution here has developed the world’s first automated manufacturing equipment to create next-generation perovskite solar cell panels.
Officials at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) say the equipment speeds up the process and improves the quality of the perovskite solar panels.
The panels have conventionally been made manually.
Perovskite cells, also known as “flexible solar cells,” are lightweight and thin. They can be used at locations, such as rooftops or curved walls, where it would be difficult to install conventional silicon solar cells.
Moreover, perovskite solar cells can generate power even when it is cloudy. They could become a key instrument in efforts to curb global warming.
