Still a way to go regarding reliability and durability.. but Oxford are moving forward. Dyesol, also with the work on the mini mad and further research.
On site, the manufacturing tweaks required for commercial deployment of the technology – which can drastically improve the efficiency of standard silicon cells – will be, it is hoped, perfected.
The potential of perovskite has long been known, with cell efficiency increases of up to 30% certainly achievable in lab and controlled conditions. However, the inherent instability of the material has hamstrung its progress, and Oxford PV is likely to place a keen emphasis on reliability and durability at the new German facility.
In a recent interview with pv magazine, Oxford PV CTO Chris Case revealed that his team is confident that they have found ways to address the thermal stability concerns inherent in original perovskite research, hinting at a new, different material that is more durable than those previously employed.
