Frank P. Averdung, Chief Executive Officer at Oxford PV commented, “This result further validates the ability of perovskite to enhance the performance of silicon based photovoltaics. Continuing to improve the performance of photovoltaics is fundamental for sustaining the growth of solar generated electricity.”
Dr Chris Case, Chief Technology Officer at Oxford PV added, “We are continuing to push our perovskite-silicon solar cell technology with a roadmap that extends beyond 30 percent efficiency, driving the world towards an all-electric future. Oxford PV counts on the support of development partners, suppliers and customers to deliver its perovskite solar technology.”
Today’s record demonstrates the considerable progress the company has made in driving its perovskite solar solution closer to commercialization. Oxford PV is in the process of scaling its perovskite-silicon solar cell technology from the lab to high volume manufacturing. The company is producing commercial sized 156 mm x 156 mm perovskite-silicon solar cells, at its 17,000 m2 industrial pilot line in Germany, for validation by its development partner – a major manufacturer of silicon solar cells and modules.
In 2017, Oxford PV was named as one of the top 50 most innovative companies in the world, by the German edition of MIT Technology Review.
