Our Partners at Oxford University have developed an innovative solar technology using perovskite materials to create a coating that is just over one micron thick—150 times thinner than the silicon wafers used in traditional solar panels. This ultra-thin, flexible coating can be “ink-jetted” onto almost any surface, such as backpacks, phones, car roofs, and building exteriors, potentially transforming them into solar energy sources. Our partners believe that with further development, perovskites could achieve efficiencies exceeding 45%, making them a game-changer for solar energy. There is potential to generate cheap, clean energy, revolutionizing how we harness solar power.
