Commercially available solar cells, which are mostly Silicon-based, cost 0.70 &amp;pound;/Watt and have
efficiencies between 15 to 20%, far from industry's targets of 0.05 &amp;pound;/Watt and 30%,
respectively. Alternative solar cell technologies have recently been developed based on new
materials, such as perovskite solar cells which promise substantial cost reduction through
utilising inexpensive materials and low-cost manufacturing processes, whilst achieving
comparable or improved efficiencies. However, existing perovskite devices are yet expensive,
hence have not been exploited commercially. Nyak has developed a unique technology for
nanostructured organic perovskites, which promises significant cost reduction through
optimised materials utilisation and low-cost synthesis and device fabrication processes. Its
lower cost of manufacturing and higher efficiency will enable far greater applications to
become economically viable.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
