CES 2023 Highlights

Next Machinery Group – Technology Enabler

At the #CES2023 our partner Coatema and their Vice President @ThomasKolbusch  #THEcoatingexpert held a talk on flexible organic photovoltaics and new markets like #agrivoltaics every day.

Please take a look at his presentation following this link or download the PDF file.

Learn about agrivoltaics and growth opportunities in this market.

Agrivoltaics is the integration of photovoltaic (PV) panels or other solar technology with agriculture, such as using PV panels to generate electricity while also providing shade for crops or livestock. BIPV, or building-integrated photovoltaics, refers to the integration of PV technology into the construction or renovation of buildings to generate electricity. Both agrivoltaics and BIPV can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase the use of renewable energy.

The European Commission’s Green Deal is a set of initiatives aimed at making the European Union’s (EU) economy more sustainable and climate-friendly. One aspect of the Green Deal is the promotion of renewable energy sources, such as solar power, to help the EU reach its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. United States and Canada both follow similar initiatives and goals e.g. via the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in the U.S.

Next Machinery Group, Coatema and OET are companies with expertise in areas relevant for development and scaling up of agrivoltaic and BIPV technologies. Next Machinery Group and Coatema have experience in the production of equipment for manufacturing of PV panels and other solar technologies, while OET has expertise in the development of nanotechnology and quantum technologies. We offer a range of services, including materials, product design, equipment, and fab layout, enabling companies to bring their technologies to market. If you are interested in working with us to develop agrivoltaic or BIPV technologies, please reach out and we can discuss your vision and goals.

Arrival in Las Vegas for the CES2023

#Road to #innovation

…or should we say #path to #ces2023?

Join our Tomislav Belosevic flying from Philadelphia to Las Vegas and meeting Thomas Kolbusch (THE coating expert) at our CES booth at the Venetian West, halls A-C, booth 51239.

A longer trip for all of us at the beginning of the year. However, the reward of arriving in Las Vegas for the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is certainly worth the effort.

What will be the highlights to see and find, beside the #NextMachineryGroup and #Coatema booth?

We are excitingly looking for new trends in the metaverse and the use of AI for marketing. Looking for new startups in renewables and printed electronics in need of #coating#printing and #laminating equipment.

From the latest gadgets and technology to informative panels and networking events, CES is a must-attend event for anyone interested in the world of consumer electronics.

See you all at the OE-A Joint pavilion.

The rise of a new renewable market, Agrivoltaics

At #CES2023 Coatema´s vice president @Thomas Kolbusch (THE coating expert) will have a talk at the flexible and #printedelectronics forum at the OE-A pavilion at booth 5936 at the Venetian expo, halls A-D. The title of his talk at 10 AM every day will be Organic photovoltaics: The breakthrough in new markets like agrivoltaics for flexible and lightweight PV.

For all of you which have no time to attend or are not attending CES2023 here a short description.

What is #agrivoltaics

The use of flexible organic solar cells inside of greenhouses, also known as agrivoltaics, is a relatively new approach that offers a range of benefits for both the agricultural industry and the renewable energy sector. Agrivoltaics involves the integration of solar panels into greenhouse structures in order to generate electricity while simultaneously providing shade and protection for crops. The use of flexible organic solar cells, which are thin, lightweight, and highly efficient, makes it possible to install these panels in a way that does not interfere with the normal operation of the greenhouse or the growth of the plants.

There are several advantages to using agrivoltaics in greenhouses. One of the main benefits is the high transparency of the opv solar panels, which helps the growth of the crops. At the same time the flexible and lightweight panels generate energy. This can help to reduce energy costs and improve the profitability of agricultural operations.

In addition to the economic benefits, agrivoltaics also has environmental benefits. By using renewable energy to power greenhouses, farmers can reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Overall, the use of flexible organic solar cells in greenhouses offers a promising solution for both the agricultural and energy sectors. As the market for agrivoltaics continues to grow every year in double digits numbers, @Coatema Coating Machinery GmbH and it´s partner in this and other opv markets the Greek start up #OET (Organic Electronic Technologies) from Thessaloniki offer from lab, pilot to production equipment for these markets.
