Oxford PVPerovskite-on-Silicon Solar Cells

SHARE
Oxford PV's perovskite solar cell technology is developed to significantly enhance the performance of traditional silicon photovoltaic (PV) systems. By integrating perovskite cells on top of conventional silicon cells in a tandem configuration, the combined structure achieves a minimum of 20% higher efficiency. This advancement allows for greater energy output on the same installation footprint, improving the overall economics of solar energy generation. The technology is designed to be seamlessly incorporated into standard PV modules, enabling silicon module manufacturers to provide a more efficient and competitive product. By increasing the power output without additional space requirements, the levelised cost of energy (LCOE) for solar installations is reduced, offering substantial cost savings. The technology addresses silicon’s efficiency limitations, providing a robust pathway for scalable and economical solar energy solutions.
