What is Perovskite

Not a better silicon panel.
It's the third generation of solar.

A quick tour of the material behind every SunFlex module — what it is, why it's different, and why it's ready now.

What is Perovskite?

Tap an atom — A, B or X — to see what it does
ABX3

Perovskite is a crystal structure — ABX₃ — coated as a film thinner than a hair. It isn't a better silicon panel. It's the third generation of solar.

A-site cation · Cs⁺ / MA⁺ / FA⁺

The cage filler

Large cations sit at the cube's corners. They don't catch light themselves — they hold the lattice in shape. Blending them is how efficiency is traded off against heat and humidity stability.

B-site metal · Pb²⁺ / Sn²⁺

The light-absorbing heart

The metal sits at the center of every [BX₆] octahedron. Its orbitals form the band edges — this is where a photon becomes an electron. All the electrical work happens here.

X-site halide · I⁻ / Br⁻ / Cl⁻

The tunable bridge

Six halides bridge neighboring B atoms into a 3D network. Swap iodide for bromide and the band gap shifts — retuning the absorption edge, the color and the voltage. That tunability is unique to perovskites.

Inside a perovskite cell

Tap a layer to see its job

Five layers. One sandwich.

A perovskite cell is a stack of five ultra-thin films: conductive – functional – perovskite – functional – conductive. The perovskite layer in the middle makes the charge; the two functional layers sort it; the two conductive layers carry it out.

Tap any layer to see its job →

Layer 01 · Sun side

Conductive layer

The front electrode. Transparent so sunlight passes through, yet conductive enough to collect the current every layer underneath produces.

Layer 02

Functional layer

A charge-transport film between the electrode and the perovskite. It guides one type of charge carrier through while blocking the other — that's how electrons and holes get sorted instead of recombining.

Layer 03 · The power core

Perovskite layer

The only layer that turns light into electricity. ABX₃ crystals coated as a film under 1 µm thick — photons in, electrons out. Every other layer exists to move or extract that charge.

Layer 04

Functional layer

The matching transport film on the other side of the perovskite. It passes the opposite charge carrier from layer 02, completing the split so both types flow out to different electrodes.

Layer 05 · Back side

Conductive layer

The back electrode. It collects the charges routed down through the stack and sends them around the external circuit — closing the loop that powers your device.

Schematic — not to scale. Thickness of the active light-absorbing layer.

"Compared with crystalline silicon PV, the active absorber layer a perovskite cell needs is far thinner." — U.S. Department of Energy

The layer that makes power is thinner than a human hair — coated, not cut. That's why it can bend, weigh almost nothing, and take any shape.
