After 15 years, scientists at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in Australia have advanced the commercial potential of their flexible perovskite cells printed on long continuous rolls of flexible plastic film following the opening of their AUD 6.8 million ($4.4 million) Printed Photovoltaic (PV) Facility in Clayton, 23 kilometres southwest of Melbourne.

The solar films are thin, lightweight, portable and semi-transparent, making them suitable for various applications including construction, space, defence, mining, emergency management, disaster relief, and wearables.

For example, printed PV films can be laminated onto windows or other glazing or incorporated into tents or sails for recreational or emergency purposes.
