With just a few months to go until Perovskite Connect 2026, returning once again to Berlin for its second edition, we are revisiting some of the standout talks from the 2025 edition. These videos feature three companies working at the leading edge of commercializing perovskite and perovskite-silicon tandem solar panels. Each short clip runs one to two minutes and offers a taste of the full presentations delivered on stage in Berlin.
Oxford PV - Ed Crossland: "The Era of Perovskite-on-Silicon: Delivering Commercial 30%+ Modules to the Global Market"
Silicon solar is nearing its practical efficiency limit, and perovskite-silicon tandems are the technology poised to break through it. In this keynote, Oxford PV's Ed Crossland reflected on the company having shipped the world's first commercial perovskite-silicon tandem modules in 2024, and charted the roadmap toward higher efficiencies - with a particular emphasis on durability, scalability, and integrating perovskite cells into existing silicon manufacturing lines with minimal disruption.
Hangzhou Microquanta Semiconductor - "Bridging the Gap: The Commercial Readiness of Perovskite PV"
Microquanta's talk traced the company's journey from promising lab results to commercially ready product, addressing the persistent challenges of stability, efficiency, and scalable manufacturing. Drawing on lessons from real-world deployment and industrial validation, the presentation offered a grounded technical perspective on how perovskite PV is maturing into a technology positioned to complement — and in key applications surpass — traditional silicon.
CubicPV - Adam Lorenz: "Enabling Durable Perovskite Tandems with Scalable Architecture and Manufacturing Methods"
CubicPV's Adam Lorenz set out the company's approach of decoupling the perovskite and silicon sub-cells to optimize each for performance, durability, and cost. The talk covered aggressive accelerated-aging methods — light-plus-heat testing under demanding conditions — and shared results including an NREL-certified perovskite top cell of around 22%, corresponding to a tandem efficiency approaching 30%, with demonstrated stability of L95 beyond 1,000 hours.

These clips capture just a fraction of what made the 2025 program worthwhile - and the 2026 edition promises to be even bigger, bringing together the panel makers, materials suppliers, equipment providers, and developers driving perovskite PV toward commercial scale. Perovskite Connect 2026 takes place on 21–22 October 2026 at the Estrel Convention Center in Berlin, with a day of tours and masterclasses on 20 October, co-located once again with the Future of Electronics RESHAPED.
