Perovskite Connect 2026 is set to be the industry's premier event, taking place on 21-22 October 2026 in Berlin, with a world-class agenda, exhibition and networking opportunities. Co-located with the Future of Electronics RESHAPED, Perovskite Connect will focus on the perovskite supply chain, solar applications, recent innovations, materials and processes.
In this article we will introduce some of our speakers and themes at the event. You can explore the full agenda and event details here.
Printing, deposition and laser processes on the production line
Behind every perovskite roadmap is an equipment question: how do you deposit, print, pattern and interconnect these layers fast enough, and cheaply enough, to matter at scale? A cluster of process and equipment specialists will address exactly that this year.
Energy Material Corp will make the case for high-speed roll-to-roll production, arguing that once web speeds exceed 30 meters per minute, the cost of capital, energy and labor shrink to the point where product cost approaches material cost - and will compare single-junction and tandem devices made this way against slower silicon and CdTe production.
China's WonderSolar, spun out of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, will present its topologically interpenetrating 3D charge injection-separation mechanism, which enables a fully printable, all-wet process for mesoscopic perovskite modules - technology it already runs at 400 MW production scale.
UniJet will turn to inkjet printing, presenting results across multiple functional layers - from self-assembled monolayers to electron transport layers and the perovskite absorber itself - and discussing digital patterning as a path to higher-throughput, lower-material-use tandem manufacturing.
HighLine Technology will cover multi-head fineline dispensing for solar cell metallization, while French inkjet specialist Dracula Technologies will present its own progress on mass-producing organic photovoltaics using inkjet printing.
Power Roll will introduce an ITO-free micro-groove device architecture, designed to eliminate the need for scarce, geopolitically constrained transparent conductive oxides while remaining compatible with high-throughput, flexible roll-to-roll manufacturing.
Kalpana Systems will detail its first commercial roll-to-roll Spatial ALD platform, discussing how the technology addresses defect control and encapsulation quality while cutting precursor use and total cost of ownership at gigawatt scale.
Rounding out the equipment lineup, Bergfeld Lasertech will present a new multi-wavelength laser platform for perovskite research and pilot production, built to handle scribing, edge deletion and contact cleaning from a single, flexible tool.
Beyond the process line: vertical integration and new applications
Two more speakers will zoom out from individual process steps to the bigger industrial and product picture. Homerun Energy will present its vision for a fully integrated "silica-to-panel" value chain, linking silica sand, solar glass, silicon PV and perovskite processing into one coordinated industrial ecosystem aimed at strengthening supply chain resilience. And Tabernair will showcase certified perovskite BIPV glass - structural, transparent glazing designed to be deployment-ready for building-integrated applications.
Perovskite Connect 2026: time to reserve your seat!
These are just some of the production process, equipment and applications talks on this year's agenda, alongside sessions on PSC production, materials, and testing and sustainability. Perovskite Connect is co-located with the Future of Electronics RESHAPED, giving attendees full access to both conference tracks and the shared exhibition floor.
