Power Roll Limited

To develop and commercialise affordable, lightweight, flexible solar film by incorporating in-situ optical analysis equipment to accelerate the evaluation of new materials for use in photovoltaic devices.

Although progress towards energy access for all is being made in developing regions, 675m people worldwide are still living without access to modern energy services \[Tracking SDG7, The Energy Progress Report, 2023\]. Hundreds of millions more people live with unreliable or expensive electricity. Following the Covid-19 pandemic, Sub-Saharan Africa's share...

Over 1.2 billion people globally are without access to electricity. The adoption of solar panel (photovoltaic, ‘PV’) technology has expanded dramatically from 6GW in 2009 to >70GW in 2016 [Greentech Media], but its use in off-grid rural areas, i.e. India, SE Asia and Africa, has been very low, due to prohibitively high cost and weight. BSL has developed a...

All businesses want lower energy costs, but switching to renewables has not been viable without subsidies. Silicon photovoltaic (PV) solutions are more expensive compared to carbon based energy because of the high cost of manufacturing panels. Globally, more than 1.3 billion people still do not have access to electricity and largely rely on costly or poll...

Over 1.2 billion people globally are without access to electricity. Whilst the take up of photovoltaic (PV) modules has expanded dramatically from 6GW in 2009 to 58GW in 2015, the level of adoption in off-grid rural areas, particularly in India, SE Asia and Africa has been very low, primarily due to prohibitively high cost and weight limiting take up in r...

Big Solar Limited is a pioneering SME working to develop cutting edge energy solutions. This project seeks to validate the concept of an innovative higher performance barrier film which is able to be manufactured at a market leading low cost. The novel barrier film would enable significant international growth opportunities in a range of markets including...

To apply quantum dot deposition technology to solar cells to reduce manufacturing cost and improve power conversion efficiency.

The market for photovoltaic (PV) modules has expanded dramatically from 7GW in 2009 to 49GW in 2014 and is poised for explosive growth, up to 100GW pa. by 2018. Big Solar Limited is developing Power Roll, an ultra- lightweight and ultra-low cost solar PV product. This unique technology allows users to generate renewable energy at a cost cheaper than carbo...
