Perovskites: Evolution or Revolution?

Will we see a revolution and perovskite thin film technologies replace wafer based PV? Or will perovskite solar cells shape the PV industries near future in an evolutionary step - as top cell in silicon based tandem devices? Or will perovskites never play a role and it is all a hollow hype?
Join us for an insightful session as we return to 2024’s “Hype or Hope” question on Perovskite technologies with a new question – “Evolution or Revolution?” We delve into the pressing challenges surrounding finding the right commercialisation strategy for the perovskite technologies as this innovative material enters the PV market.
Our discussion will encompass crucial aspects such as long-term reliability, scalability, bankability, standardization in testing, availability of suitable infrastructure and the obstacles faced in commercialisation a new technology. Furthermore, gain valuable insights into the strategies adopted by major PV manufacturers in navigating this evolving landscape.
Don't miss this opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of the complexities and opportunities at the intersection of technological innovation and market readiness.
