Orthogonal technology can help pattern both the photovoltaic materials themselves, in order to make panels more fault tolerant, and the metal contacts, allowing for finer metal grids that let in more light and make devices more efficient.

The process can be used in a roll-to-roll production environment, and is compatible with any photovoltaics materials set including polymer blends, carbon nanotubes and nanoparticles.
