Heliatek sets new Organic Photovoltaic world record

efficiency of 13.2%

Dresden, Germany - 8 February 2016 - Heliatek R&D teams reached a record

conversion efficiency of 13.2% for an OPV multi-junction cell, setting a new
world record for the direct conversion of sunlight into electricity using organic
photovoltaic cells. The measurement was independently confirmed by
Fraunhofer CSP.

Thanks to the excellent low light and high temperature behavior of the organic
semiconductor, the electricity generation of the newly developed cells
corresponds to the output of conventional solar cells with 16 to 17% efficiency
when both are under real world conditions.

This new result confirms the world-leading

technology position of Heliatek as demon-
strated by its continuous progress from 3% to
more than 13% efficiency over the last 10
years. It also supports its roadmap towards
15% efficient organic solar cells. The result
further validates Heliatek’s unique tech-
nology approach of using vacuum
deposition of small molecules on plastic
Heliafilm® - superior low light and high temp-
films.
erature energy harvesting performance.

Dr. Martin Pfeiffer, CTO of Heliatek, says: “We are very proud of this new world
record. This success is based on our chemical research for new organic
absorber materials. Key to this success is the close cooperation of our physics
and chemistry R&D teams, which leads to an optimal combination of the
properties of this new solar cell design.”

“I am delighted by this latest result,” adds Thibaud Le Séguillon, CEO of Heliatek.

“It validates our choice to internalize our R&D, both by developing new
absorber molecules and optimizing the device architecture. This will provide the
baseline for efficiency in our large-volume manufacturing line. With our
HeliaFilm®, we are clearly executing our strategy to provide de-carbonized, de-
centralized energy generation directly on buildings all over the world.”

The world-record cell is a multi-junction cell combining three different

absorbers. Each of them is dedicated to efficiently convert green-, red- or
near-infrared light of the wavelength range between 450 and 950 nm into
electricity. These absorber molecules have been developed and are patented
by Heliatek.

The new record efficiency was measured at simulated AM 1.5 illumination and
was confirmed by the Fraunhofer - Center for Silizium-Photovoltaik - CSP in Halle,
a recognized center for independent verification of solar cell performance
results under standard testing conditions.

About Heliatek:
Heliatek spun off in 2006 from the Technical University of Dresden and the
University of Ulm. Through both its leading edge material development and its
proven capability for volume manufacturing, Heliatek is the first company to
begin commercialization of large area OPV solar film. Its business model is to
supply the custom-designed HeliaFilm® to partners in industries such as building
and construction materials, automotive and light architectural structures.
Heliatek maintains a total staff of some 80 specialists at its facilities in Dresden
and Ulm, Germany.

Investors in Heliatek include leading industrial and financial companies such as

BASF, Innogy Venture Capital, Wellington Partners, eCapital and Aqton SE.
Research and development work, as well as the installation of production
technology, has been funded by the Free State of Saxony, the Federal Republic
of Germany (BMBF-Projekt LOTsE (03EK3505E)) and the European Union.
