solar cells

Solar cell developer Oxford PV has set a ‘new world record’ for the efficiency of a commercial-sized solar cell, it said.

Teesside University is taking part in a multi-million pound project to increase solar cell efficiency and sustainability using mineral perovskite.

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.
