More Power, Anytime
Perovskite generates up to 2x the energy of silicon by working efficiently in low light, cloudy weather, and even indoors. All while outperforming by 20%+ outdoors.
| Perovskite Solar Cells | Silicon Solar Cells | Organic PV / DSSC | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Efficiency | 28% (outdoor); 35% (indoor) | 22-26% (outdoor only) | ~10% to 15% (indoor only) |
| Energy per Installation | 20-22mW/cm2 (outdoor); 47.3uW/cm2 for 500 lx (indoor) | 18-20 mW/cm2 (outdoor only) | ~35uW/cm2 for 500lx (indoor only) |
| Manufacturing & Process | Solution-processed, low-temperature; up to 70% less energy waste than silicon production. | High-temperature (>1500 °C) wafers; energy-intensive , high emissions. | Solution-processed, low-temperature; roll-to-roll printable. |
| Light Absorption | Broad-spectrum; strong in low-light, diffuse, indoor settings. | Indoor / artificial light; limited outdoor use. | Lightweight, flexible; indoor surfaces. |
| Installation | Lightweight, flexible; curved or portable surfaces. | Rigid and heavy; needs flat surfaces and support. | Lightweight, flexible; indoor surfaces. |
| Advantage / Benefits | Higher energy output, flexibility for various surfaces | Proven reliability in the market | Strong indoor low-light harvesting at low cost. |
| Sustainability | Fully recyclable, low-carbon manufacturing with minimal energy input | Silicon wafers are rarely recycled due to energy-intensive and complex recovery processes | Shorter operating lifetime. |
