Sunmaxx PVT and Oxford PV Launch Solar Hammer Module

• Introducing the groundbreaking "Solar Hammer" module, boasting an impressive 80% total conversion efficiency and set to revolutionize the solar industry in Europe.

Sunmaxx PVT and Oxford PV have introduced the “Solar Hammer” module, which combines perovskite-on-silicon tandem solar cells with thermal management technology to achieve a total conversion efficiency of 80%. The module boasts an electrical efficiency of 26.6% and a thermal efficiency of 53.4%, with an overall efficiency of 80% on an aperture area level of 1.63 m2. The module's electrical power of 433 W surpasses the previous record set by Fraunhofer ISE.

The technology is expected to be commercialized within the next 12 to 18 months, with Oxford PV supplying the cells from their manufacturing line in Brandenburg an der Havel and Sunmaxx producing the modules at their factory in Ottendorf-Okrilla. The partnership aims to accelerate the energy transition and position Europe's solar industry as a leader in commercializing high-efficiency solar technologies.
