PVTIME – Recently, Oxford PV, a global leader in next-generation perovskite solar products, announced the first commercial deployment of its perovskite tandem solar cells in the US, which will accelerate progress towards the world’s clean energy goals.
Oxford PV has been developing and working to commercialise this technology since 2014, with a recent module efficiency record of 26.9%. Oxford PV’s first commercially available panels have a module efficiency of 24.5%, significantly outperforming traditional silicon technology. The panels are powered by perovskite-on-silicon cells produced at Oxford PV’s megawatt-scale pilot line in Brandenburg an der Havel, Germany.
In the first delivery, the 72-cell panels, which consist of Oxford PV’s proprietary perovskite-on-silicon solar cells, can produce up to 20% more energy than a standard silicon panel. They will be used in a utility-scale installation, reducing the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) and contributing to more efficient land use by generating more electricity from the same area.
