ColorFoil 2.0 – Upscaling Coloured Solar Technology

ColorFoil 2.0 brings innovative structural colour technology for solar panels from proven concept to industrial scale.

The project will develop and demonstrate roll-to-roll manufacturing of coloured interlayer foils that enable aesthetically integrated solar panels with angle-independent colours and low power loss.

Together with partners across the full value chain, the project will scale the technology towards industrial production, qualify coloured PV modules and demonstrate ColorFoil in real-world building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) applications.

Fifth Façade – Unlocking the Solar Potential of Urban Buildings

Together with the City of Aarhus, LayersTech is taking an important step towards bringing next-generation organic photovoltaics (OPV) from research to real-world applications.

The EU-supported Fifth Façade project aims to unlock the solar energy potential of buildings where conventional solar panels are limited by weight, structural constraints or architectural requirements.

Through the project, the City of Aarhus will demonstrate lightweight photovoltaic solutions on municipal buildings, while LayersTech will contribute its expertise in organic solar technologies and the development and integration of OPV solutions.

A key ambition is to demonstrate how lightweight, flexible solar technologies can transform previously unused building surfaces into sources of renewable energy.

For LayersTech, Fifth Façade represents an important milestone in the commercialization of organic photovoltaics. The project provides an opportunity to validate OPV technology under real-world conditions, gain valuable experience with system integration and demonstrate its potential for future building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) applications.

By combining municipal climate ambitions with innovative European solar technology, Fifth Façade aims to pave the way for a new generation of lightweight and architecturally integrated solar solutions.
