Solar technology is likely to be under one of the main driving force

On a global scale, from Oxford to California redwood series of the company is dedicated to commercialise new solar technology, to further promote the renewable energy power generation. Oxford PV is a startup in collaboration with Oxford university. Earlier this year, it get $3 million from the British government to develop the technology, the technology using new materials to make solar cells. According to the securities and exchange commission of a document, two days ago, in the United States, a company called Swift Solar raised $7 million, will be the same technology to the market.

this kind of new photovoltaic technology called perovskite battery, and use a mixture of organic - Inorganic lead or tin halide material as capture active layer of light. This is the first put forward by the new technology for years, his with a lower cost than existing provide better light conversion efficiency.

SFed Solar's chief scientific adviser and co-founder of Sam Stranks said: in the Ted Talk & other; Really make me excited is, is the crystallization of the thin film by mixing two kinds of cheap membrane made of rich in salt. In a variety of different ways of sedimentary means cost perovskite solar panels may be less than half of its competitors.

researchers in Japan for the first time in 2009 will be solar cells into solar cells, and perovskite solar cells due to the low efficiency, lack of stability and is widely used in manufacturing. But in the past nine years, the researchers to improve the stability of compound used and the electrical efficiency of solar cells. Britain's Oxford PV is currently in development can be achieved 37% conversion efficiency of solar cells, and that is much higher than the existing polycrystalline PV or thin-film solar cells.

there are risks to this new technology, but in order to attract buyers, cost-effective technology promises will greatly increase, allowing investors to invest back to support solar energy alternatives. Oxford PV is perovskite battery set a world-class efficiency, 27. 3%. This is 4% higher than the existing monocrystalline silicon panel.

Oxford PV's chief technology officer Chris Case said in a statement, & other; Today, our trial production line is producing based on perovskite tandem solar cell. We are optimized equipment and processes, ready for commercial deployment. ”
