Oxford PV acquires German production site

Ex Bosch Solar CISTech site to start pilot-scale perovskite production within a few months


Oxford Photovoltaics has acquired a production site previously operated by Bosch Solar CISTech in Brandenburg an der Havel in Germany. The site will be equipped with pilot-scale capacity to ramp up Oxford PV's perovskite technology to industry-standard wafer size.

A recruitment drive has already begun, and the company hopes to be fully operational within a few months.

"Perovskite has the potential to radically improve the efficiency of solar PV and meet the world's energy demand in the future," said Oxford PV CEO Frank Averdung. "We are delighted to have secured the site, which will allow us to drive quickly towards market deployment."

The CEO added that the facility was identified because of its existing first-class facilities and the ready availability of a local, experienced, highly skilled workforce.

 The Brandenburg team will work closely alongside the existing operation in Oxford, Averdung confirmed.
