In december 2019 hpt successfully demonstrated that its ink based process was able to produce a perovskite solar cell that exceeded key benchmarks recognized by the solar.
The ingredients used to create perovskite are widely available and inexpensive to combine since it can be done at relatively low temperatures around 100Âșc.
Hunt perovskite technologies hpt a dallas texas based perovskite material developer reached a milestone in the development of a highly durable perovskite technology for the manufacture of low cost printed solar cells.
Typically a silicon solar cell is able to convert up to about 22 of the available solar energy into electricity.
Perovskite solar cells are potentially a high efficiency low cost solar technology and could be a future replacement for traditional silicon solar panels.
A perovskite is any material that has the same crystal structure as the compound calcium titanium oxide.
