For decades, the expansion of solar energy has been constrained by the physical limitations of its core technology. Traditional silicon solar panels are remarkably effective, but they are also heavy, rigid, and opaque. As the world pushes to decarbonise urban environments and industrial operations, we are rapidly running out of standard, structural rooftops capable of bearing the heavy load of silicon modules.

The next massive wave of solar deployment requires a fundamental shift in form factor. Perovskite photovoltaics are stepping in to unlock millions of square feet of previously unusable real estate.
