perovskite

Flexible solar manufacturer Power Roll and scientists from the University of Sheffield have published a new paper highlighting the potential of thin-film solar cells using perovskites.

Scientists at the University of Oxford have today (9 August) revealed a breakthrough in solar PV technology via an ultra-thin material that can be applied to “almost any building” and deliver over 27% energy efficiency.

Solar in the UK continues to be a huge discussion point for the energy sector. Although barriers in its development and several bottlenecks still remain, particularly in policy, it is clear the solar industry is collectively pulling in the right direction.

The University of Warwick is set to explore the use of a new type of solar cell material via a £2.2 million grant provided by the European Research Council (ERC).

Oxford PV is lauding a new record with its perovskite solar cell, which is able to convert 29.5% of solar energy into electricity.

UK-based perovskite specialist Oxford PV has raised £31 million in a Series D funding round which included participation from a host of global energy companies.

Perovskite specialist Oxford PV has announced a five-year research project with the University of Oxford that it says will push the boundaries of perovskite technology.

British perovskite solar cell developer Oxford PV has undertaken a new funding round, led by key existing investors Statoil and Legal & General Capital.

Perovskite specialist Oxford PV has relocated to a new HQ and R&D facilities.

Perovskite solar cell developer Oxford Photovoltaics said it was working with scientists at the new Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) innovation lab to further the optimisation of its perovskite cell materials for silicon heterojunction solar cell technology.
