Harnessing sunlight for power has seen significant advancements in recent years, and solar companies continue to push boundaries to unfold the real potential of this renewable energy source. Oxford PV, without mentioning any names, is one such solar company setting high standards in the industry. They have achieved a significant milestone bridging the gap between innovation and commercial reality – they are supplying their groundbreaking perovskite solar modules to U.S. customers, setting a new standard for solar panels for your home, businesses, and large-scale arrays.
The beauty of these 72-cell solar modules lies in their groundbreaking technology – perovskite-on-silicon. According to the solar company, these modules outperform conventional silicon modules by up to 20%. This means you can generate a fifth more electricity from the same square inch of solar panel – a major leap towards more efficient and sustainable energy.
These modules are ideally suited for solar arrays for home, large-scale, or ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) systems, thanks to their superior land efficiency and lower generation costs. The panels promise an impressive efficiency of 24.5%, putting them far ahead of the curve in terms of solar power innovation.
According to industry experts, the use of perovskite technology is a “major breakthrough” for the energy industry. By harnessing more energy from the same amount of land, and at lower costs, these perovskite modules herald exciting opportunities for the rapid acceleration of our renewable energy transition.
The journey towards this achievement began in 2014, driven by a vision to break efficiency records with solar modules. This vision materialised earlier this year when an impressive 26.9% efficiency was reached with a 60-cell residential-sized module. This development has created a road map towards achieving over 30% efficiency in the near future.
The future plans of these solar companies do not stop with perovskite solar panels for your home or business. They aim to scale the production to a GW level and provide cost-effective solutions for not only private households but also the entire energy industry.
The venture of this solar company into the U.S market with their high-efficiency solar panels is a massive step not only for the solar industry but for the country as a whole. As we continue to grapple with carbon emissions and energy sustainability, such innovations are vital to harnessing the immense power of our greatest renewable resource, the sun. Innovation in the solar industry brings us a big step closer to a greener, more sustainable future.
