NanoSol 3D is revolutionizing the solar energy industry by making everyday building materials—like windows—a vital part of the future’s green energy infrastructure.

The Company's technology relies on perovskite molecular structured developed at the Hebrew University in Israel. Its patent refers to the application method of the conductive tech while creating "gaps" within the cell to allow visible light to shine through, to create transparency.  

Oxford Photovoltaics (Oxford PV)

Oxford Photovoltaics (Oxford PV) was founded in 2010 as a spin-out from the University of Oxford, to commercialize a new technology for thin-film solar cells. It was amongst the first in the world to recognize the potential of perovskites to act as a low-cost, highly efficient solar cell absorber material to convert sunlight into electricity.

The Company focuses on developing and commercializing a perovskite-based solar technology. Its research and development site in Oxford, UK, and pilot and production line near Berlin, Germany, enable the accelerated transfer of Oxford PV's technology into industrial-scale perovskite-on-silicon tandem solar cell manufacturing. 

 

The Company exclusively licensed the rapidly growing portfolio of fundamental intellectual property developed by its academic team.

Oxford PV has acquired the former thin-film production site of Bosch Solar in Germany, to establish a fab with pilot-scale capacity for perovskite wafers. To that end, the Company also received funding from the European Investment Bank (EIB), to support the commercialization of its perovskite-on-silicon tandem solar cell technology.
