IF WE COLLECT ENERGY BY INTERNET OF THINGS, CAN WE MAKE THEM SUSTAINABLE ?

Dracula Technologies Startup is developing a disruptive printable solar energy, called Layer®

It’s an OPV cell manufacturing technique made of 5 nano-layers of materials using digital printing: in the same way that an office printer uses graphic ink to print, we print our LAYER® modules using conductive ink that we have formulated ourselves thanks to:

- Generating energy from ambient light (natural or artificial)

 - Being adjustable and integrated in the surface thanks to the printing of the modules. Shapes and curves make them possible

 - Ensuring positive environmental impact. Only organic polymers derived from carbon are used to make the conductive inks

As a result of several years of R&D Dracula Technologies has developed a support process using tools to evaluate the energy consumption and the lighting conditions. We then carry out studies in order to optimize the solution needed.

- Spy: The use of photodetector cells to carry out assessments and measure the lighting conditions.

 - Characterisation test bench: Reproduce exposure situations of our modules to different lighting conditions both indoors and outdoors. IM2NP

 - Modelling software: To guarantee made-to-measure sizing which optimizes the active surface in order to meet the clients’ needs precisely. Polyomino European Project
