Problem
Conventional silicon-based solar panels have plateaued in efficiency, limiting the potential for further reductions in the levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Existing perovskite solar cells degrade quickly, hindering long-term performance and reliability in real-world deployments.
Solution
CubicPV manufactures tandem solar modules that combine silicon with a proprietary perovskite top cell to increase energy conversion efficiency. The tandem architecture allows each cell to capture different parts of the solar spectrum, maximizing power output per square meter. CubicPV focuses on producing durable perovskite cells that can withstand long-term exposure to environmental stressors without significant degradation. Their four-terminal architecture simplifies manufacturing and improves field performance by avoiding current-matching issues and enabling direct coating onto glass.
Target Audience
CubicPV's primary customers are solar project developers, utility companies, and independent power producers seeking to reduce the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) through higher efficiency and more durable solar modules.
