Oxford PV Perovskite Film Series Enhances Solar Cell Performance 20%

Oxford PV, the developer of innovative solar technology and materials, has launched a new perovskite thin film technology application. This breakthrough progress is dedicated to increasing the conversion efficiency of conventional silicon solar cells by 20%—a substantial increase of 3% to 5% in absolute conversion efficiency.

Kevin Arthur, co-founder and CEO of Oxford PV, said: “Perovskites have the potential to change the solar industry. Simply put, this material achieves ultra-high performance at low cost. Perovskites can be used as The use of tandem layers has the major effect that it can significantly increase the efficiency of current mainstream crystalline silicon products. In the long run, this material has great potential for a wide range of solar applications, and our current achievements are only the tip of the iceberg."

Before Oxford PV was separated from Oxford University in 2010, it focused on the BIPV market. The company's photovoltaic building integration project focuses on the coated glass of perovskite-based materials, enabling solar energy to be used for building facades. It is estimated that by 2017, the company's photovoltaic building integration will be authorized and sold as a product. At the same time, Oxford PV has found that perovskite materials can significantly increase the efficiency of existing solar panels, and in order to obtain higher direct benefits.

Chris Case, chief technology officer who joined the company in April 2014, believes that the limitations of perovskite performance in solar applications still need to be further confirmed. He said: "In the two years of research and development, we have already The conversion efficiency of independent solar cells has increased from 5% to more than 17%. As we continue to try new things, this data will continue to increase. We believe that this material can achieve 2% in a relatively short period of time. More than a dozen high conversion efficiency. Ultimately, it will promote the performance of solar panels to a new level. Based on ongoing cooperation with our customer partners, we are expected to see prototype panels in 2015."

Oxford PV promotes the commercialization of this technology through the use of a licensing model developed by co-founder Professor Henry Snaith. The Material Research Society has recently awarded the "National Outstanding Young Researcher" Medal to recognize its pioneering work in perovskite solar cells. In addition, the United States "Science" magazine also awarded its "2013 top ten scientific figures" title. Arthur said: "Henry has made outstanding contributions in this field. He can turn ideas into commercial products in less than two years. It is really amazing."
