Sofab Inks has shared details of its progress over the past year, highlighting technical milestones and commercial validation across its perovskite-based solar materials.
In 2025, the company achieved a record efficiency of 22.2% on a 30 cm × 30 cm fullerene-free PIN perovskite solar module, produced in collaboration with Alpha Precision Systems Inc using Sofab’s Tinfab electron transport layer. This result demonstrates the potential for extending laboratory-scale performance to production-scale modules.
Sofab also reported five pilot manufacturing runs, 11 new customers, and a global base of over 50 organizations using its materials. The company continues to build its industrial ecosystem through partnerships with Halocell Energy, Nagase & Co., Alpha Precision Systems, Energy Materials Corporation, SunXT, and others focused on scaling solar manufacturing technologies.
Internally, Sofab completed an in-house perovskite R&D lab achieving over 18% efficiency and demonstrated processes and equipment compatible with mass production. Additional highlights include achieving key stability (T90) metrics, filing patents in 12 countries, and signing new commercial agreements and MOUs.
The company indicates that its upcoming work will focus on scaling manufacturing and expanding collaborations aimed at industrializing high-efficiency perovskite solar materials.
