Our story

Saule Technologies develops inkjet-printed, ultra-thin, and flexible solar cells based on perovskites.

2013

As a PhD student at the University of Valencia, Olga Malinkiewicz invents a revolutionary method to produce solar cells by coating perovskites on flexible foils. This achievement earns her multiple awards and garners international media attention.

2017

As Saule Technologies partners with major players like Ergis and Skanska, our first flexible, A4-sized perovskite solar module on an ultrathin plastic foil is inkjet-printed. The module is demonstrated by charging electronic devices at the IDTechEx Show! in the US.

Another significant milestone is achieved when the Saule Team creates a semi-transparent, A4-sized perovskite module. And our products are tested internationally in Poland (Skanska’s Spark office building in Warsaw) and Japan (Henn na Hotel in Nagasaki).
