Novellop Technologies is a research and development company based in Aachen that specializes in advanced photovoltaic technologies. We are working on two parallel lines of development: SiGe:C quantum well solar cells for terrestrial applications and ultra-lightweight perovskite solar cells for space applications.
Development and characterization of multilayer structures with tailored optical and electrical properties.
From laboratory samples to scalable manufacturing concepts. Selection of substrates and optimization of process parameters.
Mechanical integration, electrical wiring, and testing under simulated operating conditions.
Coordination between academic partners and industrial companies in Germany and Europe.
Both development projects are funded by the State of North Rhine-Westphalia and the European Union under the ERDF/JTF Program NRW 2021–2027.
Development of SiGe:C quantum well solar cells with multilayer structures deposited by PECVD.
Multilayer semiconductor structures made of silicon, germanium, and carbon expand the absorption spectrum of conventional silicon cells. Our goal: over 30% efficiency while reducing costs through simplified process control.
Funding: Grüne Gründungen.NRW
Duration: February 2025 – January 2028
Perovskite solar cells on shape-memory substrates for satellite applications. A collaborative project coordinated by the University of Wuppertal.
Flexible, foldable solar modules with an extremely high power-to-weight ratio enable drastically reduced transportation costs for space missions.
Funding: GreenEconomy.IN.NRW
Duration: October 2025 – September 2028
The InnoZell and PeroSat research projects are funded under the EFRE/JTF Program NRW 2021–2027 by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Industry, Climate Protection, and Energy of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia and the European Union (European Regional Development Fund).
