Oxford PV is delivering its first commercial perovskite solar modules to US customers. The 72-cell solar modules have an efficiency of 24.5% and, according to the company, can generate up to 20% more energy than conventional silicon modules.

Earlier this year, the company set a new efficiency world record of 26.9% with its 60-cell residential-sized module, unveiled at this year’s Intersolar. It claims to have a “clear roadmap” to bring the technology to over 30% efficiency.

Copying from a previous comment of mine:

By adapting the formulation and synthesis of the perovskite and the cell design and encapsulation optimization, Oxford PV succeeded in mitigating stability-related deficits and aims at providing future buyers of their modules with the industry-standard 25 year performance guarantee
