Polish factory is the first in the world to produce perovskites solar cells

 In Wroclaw, Poland, the production of innovative solar cells, perovskites, has started. This innovative solution can generate energy both from the sun and from artificial light. As a result, perovskites can be used almost anywhere - from price labels to building facades to satellites in space.

It has been almost six years since, with the financial help of Hideo Sawada, a Japanese investor and his company HIS, we started a project aimed at setting up a perovskite production line. Many years of research, testing and hard work are now entering the implementation phase - says Olga Malinkiewicz, founder of Saule Technologies.

Perovskite solar cells will help change the world - said Malinkiewicz - this is the hope for cheap green energy and energy transformation. Printed, ultra-thin (hair-like), lightweight and flexible perovskite-based solar cells are both durable and efficient. The Polish company is the first to enter the commercialization phase of this future-oriented technology.

Due to their unique properties, perovskite cells can be used wherever traditional silicon cells have no chance of working: on roofs of lightweight buildings, on windows, because the cells may be partially transparent, on cars, sails, tents, laptop housings or telephones. They will power drones and Internet of Things devices - says Piotr Krych, president of Saule Technologies.

Now, companies from various sectors of the economy are seriously interested in Saule Technologies products. The company has just signed a cooperation agreement with the MVGM Group, which manages commercial real estate in 10 European markets.

Huge wind farm project, up to PLN 35B ($10B) in the game!

 Polish Energy Group (PGE) has submitted a project to build offshore wind farms worth PLN 35 billion to the National Reconstruction Plan (KPO). The KPO is to include projects financed by the European Reconstruction Facility which provides EUR 750 billion in aid to the Member States. Poland is to be the fourth largest beneficiary of this program. The money must be allocated to specific investments in key areas for the EU. This includes infrastructure, transport, energy, and the environment.

PGE in cooperation with Danish Orsteda plans two projects, Baltica 2 and Baltica 3, with a total capacity of 2.5 GW.

"We negotiated with Orsted with surgical precision. We have the best possible contract with the most experienced company in the field of offshore wind farms in the world. For 50 percent of shares in assets valued at over PLN 100 million, we received PLN 657 million."

Baltica 2 and 3 could start producing electricity in 2026.
