Perovskite solar cells, designed for rooftop installation, are soon entering the residential market.

Global solar capacity is rapidly increasing, and this growth is poised to accelerate with the emergence of new, high-efficiency solar cells from research labs. Among these are perovskite solar cells, a new class of synthetic material that promises low-cost, high-volume manufacturing. After years of research and development, perovskite solar cells are finally ready for rooftop installation.
