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).

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]
Using an ionic salt to replace the fullerene layer in perovskite solar cells boosted their performance, efficiency, and durability, according to a global research effort led by scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Their findings appear in the journal Science. The researchers said their findings point to a promising … [continued]
ChatGPT generated a panoramic image illustrating "Laboratory vs. Field Reality": on the left, scientists examine small, high-efficiency perovskite cells in a lab; on the right, workers install conventional silicon PV modules across a sprawling solar farm
Perovskite solar is getting another moment in the sun, with outlandish claims matched by a lack of global perspective on advances. It’s worth stepping carefully through the various dimensions of this photovoltaic technology, weighing what enthusiasts say against what’s demonstrably true today. In doing so, it’s obvious that perovskite’s pathway … [continued]
