Oxford PV and Trinasolar, a Chinese solar manufacturer, have signed a patent permit agreement for Solar PV technologies based on Perovskite.
Both companies have signed an exclusive patent permit license agreement for the production and/or sale of PV products based on Perovskite in China with an extra right to sublicense.
“This agreement is a milestone in our mission to make PV -Mainream PV -Mainream and confirms the crucial role of patents in today’s photovoltaic day and the future,” said David Ward, CEO of Oxford PV.
“We are pleased that Trinasolar, one of the world’s leading solar manufacturers, will be able to offer our technology to the Chinese market.”
Last year, Oxford PV Completed the world’s first commercial sale of Perovskite-Silicon Tandem solar modules To an unknown American company for implementation in a solar project on utility scale. The relevant modules include 72 of the Oxford PV perovskiet-silicon cells with a conversion efficiency of 24.5%.
During the Intersolar Europe event last year, the company Unveiled a new Perovskite-Silicon Tandemmodule In combination with the German module manufacturer Sunmaxx, with a conversion efficiency of 26.6%. During the event, Oxford PV also announced a dental module with a conversion efficiency of 26.9%, which was a world record at the time.
Moreover, this patent license agreement is less than a month after Trinasolar developed an 808W solar module that uses perovskiet/silicon tandem solar cells. The module, which uses 210 mmx105mm cells and covered 3.1 square meters, was certified by German test and inspection body TÜV Süd.
Other developments in the perovskiets sector are Swedish Dunne film solar cell company Midsummer receives a subsidy of € 2.8 million (£ 2.4 million) For its tandem copper indium gallium selide (CIGS) perovskiet Dunne film solar cell earlier this week and US Perovskite Company Tandem PV collected US $ 50 million In a Series A finance and debts last month.
