Oxford PV

Oxford PV was established in 2010 as a spin-out company from the University of Oxford. Oxford PV specialises in perovskite on silicon tandem cells, operating a manufacturing site near Berlin in Germany. As of 2024, Oxford PV has begun commercial distribution of its solar cell technology.

Oxford PV, a pioneer in the field of next-generation solar cells, has set a new world record for the efficiency of a commercial-sized solar cell, marking a significant breakthrough in the drive towards a low-carbon global economy.

Oxford PV was established in 2010 as a spin-out company from the University of Oxford. It specialises in perovskite on silicon tandem cells and has plans to start commercial manufacturing of its solar cell technology by the end of 2022. This profile is based on a conversation with the CTO of Oxford PV, Dr. Chris Case.

Oxford PV has fallen out with its strategic manufacturing equipment supplier Meyer Burger as both complete factories in Germany.

Oxford PV are developing an exciting next-generation transparent perovskite solar film, with huge potential to enhance the existing silicon PV market.
