Perovskite solar panels developers

CubicPV was established by Hunt Perovskite Technologies and 1366 Technologies, a US-based energy company.

The merger combines two technologies: 1366's Direct Wafer process and HPT's printed perovskite photovoltaic (PV) technology to bring to market tandem modules. The combined company, CubicPV, has also received $25 million in funding from Hunt Energy Enterprises, L.L.C. (HEE), First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR), Breakthrough Energy Ventures (BEV) and others. HEE will join the Board of Directors.

CubicPV has offices in Bedford, Massachusetts, and Dallas, Texas. The name holds significance as it reflects the shared cubic crystal structure of both silicon and perovskite.

EneCoat Technologies is a Japan-based company working on materials development for perovskite solar cells and the commercialization of modules.

Enecoat plans to use a low-temperature coating process to create uniform thin films, and utilize roll-to-roll technology (while taking advantage of the wet process’s suitability for large areas and mass production) for commercialization.

Greatcell Energy was formed following Greatecell Solar's liquidation. Greatecell Energy acquired all of Greatcell Solar's IP, equipment - and Italian subsidiary.

The company's main focus is on the low-light, indoor IoT market. Using a roll-to-roll low-cost method, the company developed a high-efficiency perovskite indoor solar panel and is now upscaling its facilities for production.

Greatcell energy also has a long term full-sun research program with several universities and large innovative corporations.

GreatCell Solar, formerly known as Dyesol, was an Australia-headquartered renewable energy supplier and leader in Perovskite Solar Cell (PSC) technology. In 2018 the company went bankrupt.

Following the company's liquidation in 2018, Greatcell Solar Materials was spun-off to a separate entity. In addition, GreatCell's Solar equipment, IP and subsidiary in Italy were acquired by a newly formed company called Greatcell Energy.

GreatCell manufactured and supplied PSC materials and was dedicated to the successful commercialization of PSC photovoltaics. It is mainly focused on:

Hanwha Q CELLS is a Korean PV company, that manufactures solar cells and modules, Its leading brand is Q CELLS.

Hanwha Q CELLS is headquartered in Seoul, South Korea. The headquarters for Technology & Innovation is located in the Solar Valley in Thalheim, Germany. Its products are manufactured in international facilities in China, Malaysia and South Korea. The products and services are sold via our worldwide sales network, spanning photovoltaic markets in Europe, North America, Asia, Australia, South America, Africa and the Middle East.

Q.ANTUM Technology by Q CELLS is based on Passivated Emitter Rear Cell (PERC) technology, that involves installing a reflective layer designed to capture previously unused light back into the cell and convert it to solar electricity.

The Company offers PV solutions for the residential, commercial, industrial and utility sectors.

Microquanta Semiconductor, based in Hangzhou, China, was established in July 2015. The company works to commercialize perovskite-based solar cells.

Microquanta reported several advances in Perovskite PVs, and in 2020 the company started operating its production line for perovskite solar cells.

Oxford Photovoltaics Limited (Oxford PV) was founded in 2010 as a spin-out from the University of Oxford to commercialize a new technology for thin-film solar cells. It was amongst the first in the world to recognize the potential of perovskites to act as a low-cost, highly efficient solar cell absorber material to convert sunlight into electricity.

Oxford PV is developing and commercializing thin-film perovskite solar cells, which can be printed directly onto silicon solar cells, CIGS solar cells or glass. Pioneering work developing perovskite thin-film solar cells has delivered a route to boosting the efficiency of current commercial cells; using a high efficiency coating in a multi-junction or “tandem” cell architecture. In addition, printing perovskites directly onto glass has led to a semi-transparent coating ideal for BIPV applications and, once integrated into the glazing units of a building, the technology is capable of providing a significant percentage of the building’s electrical energy requirements directly from sunlight.

By employing well known and well understood printing processes, focused on inexpensive and abundant raw materials, Oxford PV has developed a highly cost effective technology.

P3C is an India-based startup that develops new generation photovoltaics and associated components. P3C started at IIT BHU and has also support from IIT Delhi.

Its mission in to take perovskite solar cells from lab to market.

P3C is developing its own manufacturing facility and PSC technology. P3C is also committed to developing a wide range of nanotechnology-based products. It is working towards the design & development of both the machinery and technology required for independent production.

A team of scientists (Anand Verma (co-founder, CEO), Dr. David Martineau (CTO), Dr. Toby Meyer (co-founder, CEO Solaronix), and Andreas Meyer (CTO Lumartix)) have developed a digital printing technology to fabricate efficient and stable perovskite solar cells with custom design capability.

The fabrication techniques they developed are said to be highly efficient and flexible, which could reduce the production cost considerably, even for customized items.

With this breakthrough, the team hoped to cater to the diverse needs of Internet of Things, electronic goods, sensors, and ultimately designer solar tiles industries. They are already working with a couple of industrial clients where customized solar cells have been successfully tested.

These collaborations are planned to generate first revenues for the startup, and will establish the company among the first to commercialize perovskite solar cell technology in real-world electronic devices (lab to product).

In January 2021, Perovskia won funds from Venture Kick, which will be used to acquire research projects with prototyping for clients, promotions and IP. This will also help in getting new funds from agencies like the EU, and further develop the technology for the current customers.

Saule Technologies is a Polish start-up that designed a low-temperature method for manufacturing flexible photovoltaic perovskite cells. The company is working on the development of a flexible and semi-transparent cell based on PET foil.

Saule's aim is to combine perovskite solar cells with other currently available products.

Solar-Tectic is a thin-film specialist with patented technology primary focused on developing highly textured, single crystal semiconductor films on glass or other low-cost substrates.

Solar-Tectic's primary focus is solar cells, but also extends to LEDs, OLEDs and superconducting wires. Solar-Tectic has developed a perovskite/crystalline silicon thin-film tandem solar cell technology for highly efficient and inexpensive solar cells.
