Oxford PV is the pioneer and technology leader in the field of perovskite solar cells. The company was established in 2010, as a spin-out from the University of Oxford. Today, we have the largest team globally, exclusively focused on developing and commercialising a perovskite based solar technology. We have a research and development site in Oxford, UK and an industrial pilot line near Berlin, Germany enabling the accelerated transfer of our technology into industrial scale silicon solar cell production. In 2019, we announced plans to move into full commercial manufacturing. Solar panels built with Oxford PV’s perovskite solar cell technology will generate more power, critical for delivering more affordable clean energy, accelerating the adoption rate of solar and addressing climate change.

Now Global RAIS® ——-Ten K Solar® module cells are connected in a matrix (serial and parallel connections) that allows current to flow through multiple pathways within a module, eliminating any single failure point. Combined with Module Integrated Electronics (MIE), this architecture allows optimization of cell level performance. Because of the cell level control, partial shading or soiling won’t cripple module production. Ten K’s Modules performance characteristics enable high shade tolerance and dramatically reduces risk of hotspot development, resulting in low degradation rates.
