Perovskite-Silicon Solar Cells Meet Matrix Shingled Interconnection Collaboration between Oxford PV & Fraunhofer ISE
Oxford PV and the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems have developed a new photovoltaic module that combines perovskite-silicon solar cells with Matrix Shingle technology, achieving an efficiency of 25.6%. This innovative design, which will be showcased at The Smarter E / Intersolar trade fair in June 2026, enhances productivity and reduces costs by using a low-temperature adhesive for cell interconnection and allowing for better performance in partial shading conditions.
The collaboration between Oxford PV and Fraunhofer ISE showcases a new photovoltaic module that combines high-efficiency perovskite-silicon solar cells with Matrix Shingle technology. This innovation could be a significant advancement in solar technology, achieving module efficiencies of 25.6% and demonstrating the potential to increase theoretical efficiency limits from 29.4% to 43.3%. This development may be of interest for investment or strategic partnerships, particularly in the context of large-scale solar installations or enhancing rooftop solar solutions.
