The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- GREW Solar entered a five-year agreement with Caelux Corporation to manufacture high-power hybrid-tandem solar modules.
- The technology involves coating standard solar module glass with a thin film of perovskites to capture additional sunlight.
- This approach allows existing silicon module manufacturing facilities to upgrade output without replacing core equipment.
- The partners aim to initiate commercial production in India by 2028 to boost solar module efficiency.
What to watch next
- Commercial production start in India in 2028
- Long-term durability of the perovskite-coated glass in outdoor environments

…is 19 GW. The Indian partnerships target commercial production from 2028. Navitas and Rayzon target 28 per cent efficiency with TOPCon-based modules, while GREW’s modules target efficiencies above 29 per cent. “ Perovskite-silicon tandem could be an important breakthrough for the solar industry, enabling significantly higher power from the same module area, ” Vineet Mittal, Director-Finance and Strategy, Navitas Solar, says. “If successfully commercialised at scale, moving module efficiencies from around 23 per cent today towards 28 per cent and beyond could strengthen…
“If successfully commercialised at scale, moving module efficiencies from around 23 per cent today towards 28 per cent and beyond could strengthen India’s ability to manufacture next-generation, high-efficiency solar modules for both domestic and international markets.”

…“Perovskite-silicon tandem could be an important breakthrough for the solar industry, enabling significantly higher power from the same module area,” Vineet Mittal, Director-Finance and Strategy, Navitas Solar, says. “ If successfully commercialised at scale, moving module efficiencies from around 23 per cent today towards 28 per cent and beyond could strengthen India’s ability to manufacture next-generation, high-efficiency solar modules for both domestic and international markets. ” Perovskite is a thin-film technology, and the challenge is in depositing a uniform layer over a large area and ensuring it survives decades of outdoor exposure. Caelux says years of R&D have gone into solving these…

“In effect, we turn that inert glass into an energy producing layer,”
In the article
…on the silicon cell, requiring changes to cell architecture and perhaps new manufacturing equipment. Caelux, instead, deposits the perovskite solar layer on the glass that normally serves as the module’s front cover. “ In effect, we turn that inert glass into an energy producing layer, ” Iyer says. This allows the use of existing silicon module factories and equipment. Caelux says its energy producing glass can be paired with mono-PERC, TOPCon, back contact and heterojunction technologies, and with…
