Perovskite Connect

Plasma-lit climatic, altitude and thermal-shock chambers that hold the full AM1.5G or AM0 spectrum, UVA + UVB (+ UVC), for the entire duration of the ageing run.

Perovskite research has changed its unit of measurement. Efficiency records still make headlines, but the numbers that now decide whether a device gets published, funded or flown are T80 lifetimes, retention after thousands of hours under continuous illumination, and the ISOS protocol used to get there.

That shift puts an uncomfortable amount of weight on a single instrument: the lamp.

The two blind spots in accelerated ageing

LED simulators stop where the interesting chemistry starts. They are stable, efficient and have become the default for light soaking. But below roughly 350 nm they have little to offer, and UVB and UVC are simply absent from the spectrum. Every degradation pathway driven by high-energy photons stays invisible for the whole test.

Perovskite Connect returns to Berlin in 2026! Let's take a look at some of the memorable talks from the 2025 edition. These videos step beyond the panel makers themselves to the wider ecosystem - a materials innovator, a major energy developer, and a leading voice on the future of Western solar manufacturing. Each clip is taken from the full presentations given in Berlin.

Sofab Inks - Blake Martin: "Novel materials for next-generation perovskite solar panel production processes"

As the solar industry scales, the challenge is finding materials that perform well and also scale effectively for mass production. In this talk, Sofab Inks' Blake Martin explored materials designed to bridge that gap — balancing performance with manufacturability and addressing key materials challenges for perovskite solar cells at scale using soluble processes.

Perovskite Connect 2025 brought together organizations spanning the entire perovskite value chain - from cell and module developers to materials suppliers, equipment makers, metrology specialists and leading research institutes. Here's a look at some of who was in the room in Berlin, grouped by where they sit in the ecosystem - just part of the full lineup of companies and institutes that took part.

Cell & module developers

Oxford PV, First Solar, Hanwha Q CELLS, CubicPV, Heliatek, Microquanta, Swift Solar, AVANCIS, Halocell Energy, SOLRA-PV, Perovskia Solar, Enecoat Technologies and more...

Materials & chemistry suppliers

Greatcell Solar Materials, Nano-C, Everlight Europe, Sofab Inks, Keeling & Walker Ltd., Noctiluca, GraphEnergyTech, PINA CREATION, Triveni Renewables, Solaires Enterprises, Xi'an Yuri Solar and more..

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.
