Perovskite Connect 2026 is set to be the industry's premier event, taking place on 21-22 October 2026 in Berlin, with a world-class agenda, exhibition and networking opportunities. Co-located with the Future of Electronics RESHAPED, Perovskite Connect will focus on the perovskite supply chain, solar applications, recent innovations, materials and processes.
In this article we will introduce some of our speakers and themes at the event. You can explore the full agenda and event details here.
Testing, reliability and sustainability: getting perovskite to where they need to go
Efficiency is not the only deciding factor in perovskite PV commercialization - bankability is also key. That means standardized testing, predictable long-term performance in the field, and a credible plan for end-of-life. Several speakers this year will tackle exactly these questions.
CubicPV will open the discussion with its approach to establishing perovskite bankability, presenting how multifactorial accelerated stress testing in custom "PV Bake Oven" chambers is used to correlate lab results with outdoor energy yield and predict real-world degradation.
US-based Tandem PV will continue the bankability theme, discussing its strategy for closing the gap between R&D-stage results and the standardized, accelerated and outdoor field testing that financiers require before backing a new PV technology.
SolarEdge will bring a systems-level perspective, explaining how module-level power electronics (MLPE) can address the mismatch losses that arise as individual perovskite cells within a tandem module age at different rates - and how power optimizers can help preserve the efficiency gains tandems promise once deployed in the field.
Test-equipment maker Eternal Sun will detail how steady-state LED solar simulation can support inline performance and stability testing for commercial perovskite PV, addressing the hysteresis and metastability issues that complicate standardized characterization.
Everlight will focus on encapsulation, sharing practical, field-tested packaging considerations that connect material selection and structural design to long-term device reliability and manufacturing scalability.
Finally, Germany's ZSW will look beyond the operating lifetime of perovskite modules, presenting an industrial-scale recycling process that recovers over 96% of perovskite material for reuse - an important piece of the sustainability case as tandem modules begin reaching real volumes in the field.
Perovskite Connect 2026: time to reserve your seat!
These are just some of the testing, reliability and sustainability talks on this year's agenda, alongside sessions on comercialization and materials. Perovskite Connect is co-located with the Future of Electronics RESHAPED, giving attendees full access to both conference tracks and the shared exhibition floor.
