The Cleantech Group has revealed its 2026 Global Cleantech 100, naming Oxford PV among the pioneering solutions and innovations that advance a cleaner, more resilient global future. 

The selection highlights Oxford PV’s world-leading perovskite silicon tandem solar technology, which delivers significantly higher power output than conventional silicon solar cells.

Perovskite PV represents the next era of solar innovation, theoretically capable of achieving efficiencies up to 43%. Oxford PV’s commercially ready technology is already delivering at least 20% more power compared to conventional modules and enabling emissions savings of up to 29,000 tons of CO₂.

“Next generation solar is essential to a global energy transition that reduces costs, cuts carbon emissions, and strengthens energy security,” said David Ward, CEO of Oxford PV. “Traditional silicon technology has reached the limits of what it can deliver. The future of solar is perovskite tandem technology, which unlocks much greater efficiencies and opens the door to new applications and possibilities. Recognition in the Cleantech 100 underscores how pivotal advancing new solar technologies is to deliver a cleaner, more efficient energy system.”

“This year’s Global Cleantech 100 reflects a market in transition—one that is becoming more disciplined, more discerning, and ultimately more resilient. While the adjustment phase has been painful for some parts of the ecosystem, we are also witnessing remarkable bursts of innovation responding to new sources of demand, from AI-driven power needs to critical materials security,” remarked Richard Youngman, CEO at Cleantech Group.

These innovation reinforces Oxford PV’s position at the forefront of global efforts to accelerate the energy transition with cost-effective, high-performance solar solutions.
