solar cells

Head of research at PV Tech, Finlay Colville, says overspending in the period from 2021 until 2023 has “finally” impacted the entire solar sector.

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.

Oxford PV has unveiled a new perovskite-silicon tandem module with a record conversion efficiency of 26.6%.

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.
