The CNRS / Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour, in collaboration with the world's leading producer of organic solar cells, OPVIUS GmbH, and local politicians and artisans in the Vic-Montaner region, has recently demonstrated that it is possible to produce large-scale (1.5 x 0.7 m) organic solar panels (OSPs), that are lightweight (10.2 kg) and have robust polycarbonate encapsulation. The project attracted a great deal of attention in the press (google Baylère, Hiorns, Vic-Montaner, Sud-Ouest for example) and in local communities. Importantly, unlike perovskite-based devices, these panels are non-toxic and fully recyclable. They are installed with minimal effort on public buildings for on-site use of generated electricity, even in restricted zones areas due to their colour adaptability. This is an important step in the industrialization of OSPs. Silicon solar cells should be placed directly facing the sun to give their maximum efficiency, otherwise they lose up to 50% of their power output depending on the angle of the sun. This is not the case for OSPs. They work at all angles, just as well. This opens up a vast area that is available on the walls of private and public buildings. For example, lightweight and ergonomic, our polycarbonate panels are easy to install. It should also be noted that local laws (in France imposed by Bâtiments de France) restrict the implantation of silicon cells in villages. However, we have already negotiated with them locally to ensure that OSPs are now accepted within 500 m of sacred and culturally important buildings. These two elements open up a large market for OSPs in France. However, the daily power of the OSPs is still less than that of silicon cells. Therefore, we will build a project to close the efficiency gap between the power produced by silicon cells and OSPs. This project will be called "Increasing the efficiency of large-scale photovoltaic panels" (ELEVATE). It will aim to improve the efficiency of OSPs so that they are equivalent to Si-based panels on vertical walls. To achieve this objective, ELEVATE will need to bring together the key, highest quality teams from across Europe working in the following fields: i) macromolecular chemistry, ii) physics of devices and modules, ii) polymer processing, iv) physical characterization, and v) modelling that will deliver: new materials; new module architectures; new film processing techniques; depth characterization of materials; and predicting the best macromolecules and understanding their behaviour. ELEVATE will call on the world-leading OSP manufacturers, OPVIUS, and will integrate the leading manufacturers of semi-conducting materials. To solve the challenge of high-performance OSPs, we will rely on the leading academics in each relevant area from across Europe. While France has exceptional talents, ELEVATE would not be possible at a national level alone due to the extremely diverse and cross-science level of industrial and academic expertise required. To build ELEVATE will be a project in itself. For this reason, this project, called INFO was developed to finance project construction meetings, determine working groups, decide on milestones and deliverables, and take into account the needs of public interactions. Given the high public profile of the project ELEVATE, particular attention will be given to fostering open scientific activities with scientific communities, the general public and schools throughout the world.
