Microquanta Semiconductor

Microquanta Semiconductor logo 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.

In 2023, Microquanta reported that its novel perovskite-based PV power station has been connected to the grid. The Company referred to it as a "perovskite commercial rooftop power station", erected over the water for fish farming applications. 

Oxford Photovoltaics (Oxford PV)

Oxford Photovoltaics (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.

The Company focuses on developing and commercializing a perovskite-based solar technology. Its research and development site in Oxford, UK, and pilot and production line near Berlin, Germany, enable the accelerated transfer of Oxford PV's technology into industrial-scale perovskite-on-silicon tandem solar cell manufacturing. 

 

The Company exclusively licensed the rapidly growing portfolio of fundamental intellectual property developed by its academic team.

Oxford PV has acquired the former thin-film production site of Bosch Solar in Germany, to establish a fab with pilot-scale capacity for perovskite wafers. To that end, the Company also received funding from the European Investment Bank (EIB), to support the commercialization of its perovskite-on-silicon tandem solar cell technology.
