  25. More information Jukka Hast (VTT) phone: +358 40 587 0069 e-mail: jukka.hast@vtt.fi Flexible Autonomous Cost Efficient energy Source and Storage FACESS is funded under the 7th EU-Framework programme (FP7-ICT-1-215271). The project duration is from 1. January 2008 to 31. December 2010 The general objectives of this project are following: manufacture efficient organic solar cells (OSC) and a thin film battery (TFB) on flexible substrate using commercially available materials and cost efficient roll-to-roll (R2R) mass production techniques, printing, as well as integrate a control transistor circuitry on a foil. The ultimate goal is to integrate these three structures to a single assembly resulting in a flexible, fully autonomous energy source. In this assembly organic solar cells harvest the solar energy and charge the thin film batteries, which provide the electricity for an external load. The Si-based transistor circuitry integrated on the foil controls the charge operation.
