Panacol is a German adhesive technology supplier that became an internationally active provider in the growth market of industrial adhesives. 

It offers am extensive product range that includes UV adhesives, structural adhesives and conductive adhesives. These innovative adhesives are developed by its in-house research department and manufactured at its own production sites in Germany and the USA. 

For the perovskite PV and OPV field, Panacol offers its Elecolit® 3648, a conductive adhesive for making flexible electrical contacts on temperature-sensitive organic photovoltaic (OPV) and perovskite solar devices. Elecolit® 3648 addresses one of the critical challenges in the commercialization and long-term reliability of organic solar cells: creating long-lasting, flexible electrical connections that create and maintain reliable electrical circuits.

PINA Creation is a Canada-based company that develops and produces Nano inks, including ones for use as ETLs and HTLs in perovskite solar cells. It is a growing new startup that came out of Simon Fraser University (SFU).

The Company's product line features various advanced nano dispersions for electronics, specially designed to fabricate semiconductive films for both flexible and rigid electronics. PINA dispersions leverage the nanoscale's unique electronic and optical properties, providing durable, cost-effective, and high-performing solutions.

Pixel Voltaic is a spinoff of University of Porto created in November 2018 with the goal of producing energy related technologies.

The company´s mission is to promote and enable a quick transition of innovative technologies that have just reached the proof-of-concept into the market. Pixel Voltaic is developing with the University of Porto a low temperature, laser assisted process to hermetically seal glass substrates, a unique process relevant for encapsulating Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) and Perovskite Solar Cells (PSCs), Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) Cells, essential for their industrialization.

Pixel Voltaic also owns a patent “Catalytic methane decomposition and catalyst regeneration, methods and uses thereof” with priority from December 2018 and is currently participating in the 112CO2 project, where Pixel Voltaic heads the WP5 – System integration and demonstration for developing a MD membrane reactor prototype.

Pixel Voltaic is also participating in the DIAMOND project, heading the WP7 – Dissemination & Exploitation. This project plans to achieve ultra-stable, highly efficient, low-cost perovskite photovoltaics with minimized environmental impact.

Solamet Electronic Materials focuses on photovoltaic (PV) metallization, specializing in conductive pastes that enable high-efficiency solar cells. Originally part of DuPont's Solamet®, it became an independent company in 2021, called Solamet Electronic Materials. The company focuses on proprietary Pb-Te-O technology for products used in technologies like PERC, TOPCon, HJT, IBC, and perovskite cells, recently acquired by DKEM in 2025.

Solamet has R&D, manufacturing, and business facilities and teams in Shanghai, Guangdong, Hong Kong, Taiwan, United States, India and Malaysia.

Solamet develops silver, silver-coated copper, and copper pastes for screen-printing on solar cells to collect and transport electricity. Its pastes support mainstream c-Si cells (p-BSF, PERC) and advanced N-type (TOPCon, HJT) with features like fine-line printing, low recombination, and wide firing windows.

Solamet develops specialized low-temperature metallization pastes for perovskite solar cells, enabling efficient tandem architectures by overcoming the material's sensitivity to high-heat processing. The flagship PV42x series offers low-temperature silver pastes with excellent resistivity at curing temperatures as low as 130°C, ideal for thin-film perovskite technologies. This enables dual printing for busbars and fingers, supporting high-efficiency perovskite-silicon tandems without damaging sensitive layers.

Twophold is a clean‑energy startup working on materials that improve solar panel efficiency. In conventional solar cells, excess energy from high-energy light is lost as heat. TwoPhold captures this lost energy by splitting a single photon into two usable charges, generating more electricity from the same sunlight. This enables solar cells to move beyond the conventional ~32% efficiency limit and approach ~44%. 

Twophold's approach is built directly into solution-processable perovskite “inks,” enabling low-cost, scalable manufacturing, including roll-to-roll printing. 

Twophold is partnering with perovskite developers to integrate and optimize this technology in real devices - delivering higher efficiency at no added cost and a step-change reduction in $/W.
 

VTT is a European research institution, owned by the Finnish state. It advances the utilization and commercialization of research and technology in commerce and society. Through scientific and technological means, VTT turns global challenges into sustainable growth for businesses and society. 

In the solar energy front, VTT’s expertise is the ability to look at solar energy as part of the bigger system. VTT is piloting new uses for perovskite solar cells and organic photovoltaics. Printable thin-film solar cells can be used in a wide range of applications.
