This is encouraging news. But don't perovskite solar panels degrade much quicker than silicon ones? I know they had found ways of prolonging their life by using lasers to 'smooth out' and strengthen the crystal structure of the perovskite. But even with that the last I heard was that they would still only last few a few (2-7) years.

Copying from a previous comment of mine:
https://doi.org/10.1039/D2SE00096B
By adapting the formulation and synthesis of the perovskite and the cell design and encapsulation optimization, Oxford PV succeeded in mitigating stability-related deficits and aims at providing future buyers of their modules with the industry-standard 25 year performance guarantee
Oh wow, that's a big step forward in longevity!
Thanks for the quote.
Sounds great! Looking forward to seeing the energy increase.
still no public pricing
