- New Time outlined a four‑year roadmap to industrialize perovskite PV in Italy, with pilot‑scale production slated for three years and full‑scale output by year four.
- New Time will spend the first year optimizing perovskite formulation and identifying stabilizing materials, then move to small‑scale production for certification in the second year.
- New Time plans to develop an industrial solution for large‑scale manufacturing in the third phase and launch full‑scale production in the fourth year.
- New Time will fund the project by reinvesting company profits into innovation and R&D, using existing industrial facilities for the rollout.
- The Forlì meeting gathered researchers from Italy’s CNR, the University of Bari Aldo Moro, and Delft University of Technology to share expertise and define operational phases.
Why it matters: The roadmap could lower perovskite module prices, giving Italian manufacturers a competitive edge and offering cheaper, higher‑efficiency solar options to installers and buyers, while putting pressure on established silicon PV producers. The initiative also leverages existing industrial sites, reducing capital outlay and accelerating market entry, which may reshape Italy’s renewable energy supply chain.
