Perovskite solar panels developers
Cosmos Innovation relies on its AI platform called Mobius for "revolutionizing the approach to solar and semiconductor process development". The company is trying to speed up the recipe development of perovskite silicon tandem technology by 10x to yield the most efficient solar cells, in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost of conventional methods.
New Insights Lead to Better Next-Gen Solar Cells
Despite these advantages, perovskite solar panels are not commercially viable yet. The main barrier is a lack of stability and durability. Solar panels must be able to last for 20 to 30 years in all kinds of weather. Perovskites attract water and degrade quickly in humid conditions, limiting their long-term durability in the field.
