In recent years, research in solar photovoltaic technology has been advancing towards achieving carbon neutrality. Organic Photovoltaics (OPV), known for being lightweight and bendable, are gaining attention as the next-generation solar cells. While possessing unique characteristics not found in traditional inorganic solar cells, they face challenges in terms of cost and durability due to the use of metallic electrodes.To address these issues, the production of OPV (CNT-OPV) utilizing carbon nanotube (CNT) electrodes as an alternative to metallic electrodes has been reported, yet it has not yet moved beyond the laboratory scale. Consequently, we endeavored to scale up the production of semi-modules from conventional cell sizes towards the practical application of CNT-OPV. This presentation will discuss the outcomes of this effort and provide insights into the prospects of CNT-OPV.
