Overview
- A five-year, 3‑GW partnership announced Tuesday integrates Caelux’s perovskite‑coated Active Glass into Solx’s Aurora module to target about 28% efficiency.
- The companies say U.S. production is underway, with Solx’s 1‑GW assembly line in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico set to ramp in the coming months and Caelux producing glass in Baldwin Park, California.
- Beta Aurora modules using the perovskite glass are confirmed for deployment in an operating U.S. project, with broad commercial volumes planned for 2027.
- The hybrid design pairs Caelux’s glass as the top power layer with U.S.‑made Suniva silicon cells as the second layer, aligning with Suniva’s new 4.5‑GW cell plant announced in South Carolina earlier in April.
- Perovskite‑on‑glass adds a light‑absorbing layer above silicon to capture more of the solar spectrum, which the companies say can raise energy per acre and lower the cost of power versus standard panels.
