Novellop Technologies develops advanced solar cell technologies at the intersection of scientific research and industrial application. Our location in Aachen provides direct access to academic partners and the established photovoltaic and aerospace industries in the Euregio.
Novellop Technologies was founded to translate scientific concepts from semiconductor physics and materials science into functional prototypes. Our focus is not on basic research, but on the development of manufacturing processes that can be implemented on an industrial scale.
We are working on two parallel development tracks with different time horizons: SiGe:C solar cells as a mid-term technology for terrestrial markets and perovskite modules for the rapidly expanding NewSpace sector.
Close collaboration with leading European research institutions provides access to specialized equipment and scientific expertise that would not be economically viable for a single company to develop on its own.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Dr. Dietrich Lembke is responsible for the overall management of Novellop Technologies as well as the operational implementation of both ERDF funding projects. His expertise includes semiconductor technology, coating processes, and the industrialization of research results. He coordinates collaboration with academic and industrial partners and leads prototype development.
Through his strategic and technological leadership, he lays the foundation for the successful positioning of Novellop Technologies as an innovative company in the fields of photovoltaic and aerospace technologies.
Chief Operating Officer (COO)
As COO, Niclas Klumpen is responsible for the operational management and strategic development of the organizational and technical structures at Novellop Technologies. His expertise includes leading the technical team, coordinating development projects, and ensuring efficient business processes. With his background in smart materials and production engineering, he plays a key role in the InnoZell and PeroSat funding projects and serves as the central interface between research, development, and external partners.
Scientific Advisory Board
Professor Weber advises Novellop on strategic issues related to technology development and market positioning. He is an internationally recognized expert in photovoltaics and semiconductor materials with many years of experience in academic research (UC Berkeley, University of Freiburg) and industry collaborations.
