Oxford PV develops perovskite tandem cell technology - solar cells that consist of two components: one perovskite and the other silicon. Traditional silicon solar cells absorb light in the red part of the spectrum, while perovskite absorbs light in the blue part. Thus, a tandem cell captures more sunlight than a single cell can, and therefore generates more energy. All this without changing the size (area) of the solar cell. Oxford PV's proprietary perovskite technology is designed to work with standard solar panels. The company has its own manufacturing facility and sets new world records for perovskite cells efficiency almost every year.
