The US startup Sofab is among the stakeholders pushing perovskite solar cell technology out of the laboratory and into the marketplace, offering improved supply chain stability alongside further cuts in the cost of solar power.
Oxford PV and the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE have combined two high-efficiency technologies in a single photovoltaic module. To achieve this, they used perovskite-silicon solar cells from Oxford PV and connected them using the Matrix Shingle technology developed by Fraunhofer ISE. Oxford PV is a pioneer in … [continued]
The US startup Solx will manufacture new tandem perovskite solar modules in Puerto Rico, with solar cells from Suniva and perovskite glass from Caelux.
Perovskite solar cells can be manufactured locally in Europe and elsewhere, providing a buffer against global supply chain disruptions such as the one occurring right now (cropped, courtesy of TNO).

Solar cell manufacturing assets and intellectual property from a bankrupt German firm will fuel the growth of a silicon-perovskite solar cell startup in the US.
New, durable tandem perovskite-silicon solar cells can surpass plain silicon on conversion efficiency, pushing the cost of solar power down even farther than it is today (cropped, courtesy of Tandem PV).
US President Donald Trump’s easy-peasy takeover of the Venezuelan oil industry is already hitting speed bumps, to the surprise of exactly no-one, except maybe Trump himself. The near-term obstacles include fast-moving security concerns as well as structural issues. However, the real problem is the long-term persistence of the global decarbonization … [continued]
The Panasonic Group announced its AI strategy at CES last year, aiming to expand its AI-powered hardware, software and solutions businesses for the next phase of growth. At CES 2026, held in Las Vegas from January 6–9, the Group showcased the latest outcomes of the strategy. Under the theme of … [continued]
The US DoD is testing tandem perovskite solar cells paired with silicon to improve efficiency, durability, and overall performance without raising costs (screenshot, courtesy of Swift Solar).

An international research team based at the University of Sydney in Australia has created a highly efficient, durable tandem perovskite solar cell, deploying two perovskite layers along with a silicon layer.
A collaborative effort between NREL and CubicPV has yielded a perovskite minimodule that belongs in the record books. The 24.0% certified efficiency marks the first time a U.S. effort has set a record in the perovskite minimodule category. The researchers at NREL and at CubicPV, a company based in the … [continued]
