Pixel Voltaic is a spinoff of University of Porto created in November 2018 with the goal of producing energy related technologies.

The company´s mission is to promote and enable a quick transition of innovative technologies that have just reached the proof-of-concept into the market. Pixel Voltaic is developing with the University of Porto a low temperature, laser assisted process to hermetically seal glass substrates, a unique process relevant for encapsulating Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) and Perovskite Solar Cells (PSCs), Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) Cells, essential for their industrialization.

Pixel Voltaic also owns a patent “Catalytic methane decomposition and catalyst regeneration, methods and uses thereof” with priority from December 2018 and is currently participating in the 112CO2 project, where Pixel Voltaic heads the WP5 – System integration and demonstration for developing a MD membrane reactor prototype.

Pixel Voltaic is also participating in the DIAMOND project, heading the WP7 – Dissemination & Exploitation. This project plans to achieve ultra-stable, highly efficient, low-cost perovskite photovoltaics with minimized environmental impact.

Shanxi Rishengda is a Chinese photovoltaic glass manufacturer based in Changzhi, Shanxi Province. Founded in September 2010 and reorganized into a joint-stock company in November 2021, the company emerged as a coal-industry transition enterprise and now specializes in producing solar PV glass as a high-tech new-materials business. 

Its facility in the Changzhi (Shangdang) Economic and Technical Development Zone covers roughly 195 mu (about 13 hectares) and employs over 700 people.

The company operates an integrated PV-glass supply chain spanning silica-sand production, natural gas supply, glass raw-sheet melting, and deep processing including tempering, anti-reflective coating, screen-printing and drilling. It runs a 2×1,000 t/d PV glass production line and produces ultra-clear rolled cover glass with light transmittance above 95%, along with tempered coated glass in 2.0, 2.5, 3.2 and 4.0 mm thicknesses, drilled glass and screen-printed glass. 

Its subsidiaries include Shanxi Rishengda New Materials Technology, Pingshun County Rishengda Silicon Industry, Shanxi Keshengda Technology and Shanxi Rishengda Photovoltaic Materials.

Rishengda is a recognized National High-Tech Enterprise and holds several Shanxi provincial designations. As a cover/substrate glass supplier, its products serve as a front-glass input for crystalline-silicon modules and are of the type used in perovskite and perovskite–silicon tandem module packaging.

Solamet Electronic Materials focuses on photovoltaic (PV) metallization, specializing in conductive pastes that enable high-efficiency solar cells. Originally part of DuPont's Solamet®, it became an independent company in 2021, called Solamet Electronic Materials. The company focuses on proprietary Pb-Te-O technology for products used in technologies like PERC, TOPCon, HJT, IBC, and perovskite cells, recently acquired by DKEM in 2025.

Solamet has R&D, manufacturing, and business facilities and teams in Shanghai, Guangdong, Hong Kong, Taiwan, United States, India and Malaysia.

Solamet develops silver, silver-coated copper, and copper pastes for screen-printing on solar cells to collect and transport electricity. Its pastes support mainstream c-Si cells (p-BSF, PERC) and advanced N-type (TOPCon, HJT) with features like fine-line printing, low recombination, and wide firing windows.

Solamet develops specialized low-temperature metallization pastes for perovskite solar cells, enabling efficient tandem architectures by overcoming the material's sensitivity to high-heat processing. The flagship PV42x series offers low-temperature silver pastes with excellent resistivity at curing temperatures as low as 130°C, ideal for thin-film perovskite technologies. This enables dual printing for busbars and fingers, supporting high-efficiency perovskite-silicon tandems without damaging sensitive layers.

Tabernair is a Germany‑based BIPV development company focused on next‑generation perovskite building‑integrated solar glass. The company works with specialized manufacturing partners that produce complete, fully laminated perovskite safety‑glass modules rather than just perovskite cells or coatings. Its strategy is to lead the architectural, envelope‑design, and project‑development side while the manufacturing partner remains in the background, providing the certified glass and technical underpinning.

Technologically, Tabernair is centered on true BIPV: the glass itself is the power‑generating building material, replacing conventional façade, skylight, and canopy glass instead of acting as an add‑on PV layer. Their perovskite BIPV modules are fully laminated, structural safety‑glass designed specifically for architectural use, meeting IEC 61215 / 61730 PV standards as well as EN 14449 / EN 12150 building‑glass standards. This enables use in façade‑integrated perovskite glass, transparent skylights and atriums, perovskite greenhouse glass with plant‑optimized spectrum, solar carports with integrated night lighting and EV readiness, and STEM‑oriented school deployments that combine energy production with education.

Commercially, Tabernair positions itself in the pre‑commercial deployment phase, preparing several municipal and campus‑scale pilot projects in the Franconia region, including façades, skylights, greenhouses, and solar carports. 

Twophold is a clean‑energy startup working on materials that improve solar panel efficiency. In conventional solar cells, excess energy from high-energy light is lost as heat. TwoPhold captures this lost energy by splitting a single photon into two usable charges, generating more electricity from the same sunlight. This enables solar cells to move beyond the conventional ~32% efficiency limit and approach ~44%. 

Twophold's approach is built directly into solution-processable perovskite “inks,” enabling low-cost, scalable manufacturing, including roll-to-roll printing. 

Twophold is partnering with perovskite developers to integrate and optimize this technology in real devices - delivering higher efficiency at no added cost and a step-change reduction in $/W.
