Perovskite photo voltaic specialist Oxford PV has introduced the industrial launch of its perovskite tandem modules, with provide to US clients for the primary time.
The 72-cell photo voltaic modules are based mostly on proprietary perovskite-on-silicon know-how and based on the corporate, generate as much as 20% extra power than typical silicon modules.
Oxford PV provides that it’s nicely fitted to large-scale or ground-mounted PV methods, as a result of it contributes to decreasing the price of producing electrical energy and extra environment friendly use of land.
Equipped with a 24.5% effectivity, the modules are produced on the firm’s manufacturing facility within the German metropolis of Brandenburg an der Havel.
David Ward, Oxford PV CEO, says that perovskite know-how can speed up the switch of power by offering extra power for a similar quantity of land at a decrease price.
“It’s an enormous breakthrough for the power trade that perovskite modules are actually economically viable,” added Ward. “More environment friendly applied sciences will dominate the way forward for the photo voltaic trade, and that future has already begun. Innovations within the PV sector are important to impress and decarbonize transport, buildings and trade quicker.
Oxford PV started work on its perovskite tandem photo voltaic modules in 2014. Earlier this yr, the corporate set a brand new world effectivity document of 26.9% with its 60-cell residential-sized module, which was unveiled at Intersolar this yr. It claims to have a “clear highway map” to convey the know-how to over 30% effectivity.
The firm plans to increase pilot manufacturing in Brandenburg an der Havel to different functions within the coming years, together with growing cost-effective options for personal households and the power trade, and to measure the present manufacturing to the GW stage.
