More Power, Anytime
Perovskite generates up to 4x 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 | |
|---|---|---|
| Efficiency | 28-30% (commercial), >30% (lab) | 22-26% (commercial) |
| Energy per Installation | 20-22% (commercial) 27% (CPTI in lab) | 18-20% (commercial) |
| Manufacturing | Low-temperature, low-energy process (up to 70% less power required) | High-temperature, energy-intensive |
| Spectral Efficiency | Solution-processed, low-temperature (below 150 °C) | High-temperature (>1500 °C) silicon wafer production emits large amounts of greenhouse gases during ingot casting and pulling |
| Light Absorption & Installation | Lightweight and flexible—can be applied on curved or portable surfaces. Performs well in low-light conditions and indoor settings | Rigid and heavy—requires flat surfaces and structural support. Only captures direct sunlight efficiently |
| Advantage / Benefits | Higher energy output, flexibility for various surfaces | Proven reliability in the market |
| Sustainability | Fully recyclable, low-carbon manufacturing with minimal energy input | Silicon wafers are rarely recycled due to energy-intensive and complex recovery processes |
