Researchers at Oxford PV are advancing tandem perovskite solar cells that combine silicon with synthetic perovskite materials. These next-generation solar cells reportedly offer dramatically improved efficiency in converting sunlight to electricity, potentially transforming the solar industry.
Laboratory Breakthroughs Signal Solar Revolution
According to reports from research facilities on the outskirts of Oxford, UK, perovskite solar cells are showing promising results that could transform renewable energy. At Oxford PV, a University spin-off company, researchers are conducting rigorous testing on sample photovoltaic cells, with one team member using an electron microscope to scan for impurities while another measures cell response to changes in the light spectrum.
