P3C Technology and Solutions has launched the Perovskite Validation Platform (P3SKY) to help companies test and validate perovskite solar modules
With this, companies will be able to generate real-world performance data before scaling production
The P3SKY platform will initially work with about 40 pilot partners, including PV manufacturers and energy developers, to evaluate module stability, durability, and performance before large-scale production
P3C Technology and Solutions, an Indian startup, has launched an industry-focused Perovskite Validation Platform (P3SKY) to help companies test, validate, and generate performance data to demonstrate how well perovskite modules work under real-life conditions, before scaling production.
Even though perovskite solar technology has shown rapid progress in laboratory research with strong efficiency gains and offering significant potential for tandem solar modules, its commercial prospects haven’t really materialized.
P3C Technology and Solutions CEO Sooraj Kumar said a major challenge for the solar industry is moving from research breakthroughs to reliable large-scale manufacturing. In a recent research work, Swiss researchers from Empa also argue that research on CIGS and perovskite solar cells focuses too much on efficiency records rather than long-term reliability and cost-effective production (see Empa: Early Industry Collaboration Key To Scaling Perovskite & CIGS Technologies).
Kumar said the P3SKY platform aims to address this challenge by focusing on module-level validation. With this, manufacturers and technology developers will be able to better assess stability, reliability, and durability before committing to large production investments.
“Our goal is to create a collaborative platform that helps the industry bridge this critical stage,” explained Kumar.
An alumnus of IIT BHU, Kumar founded P3C in 2019 and established a research and development facility in Gurugram, Haryana. The company entered the market with commercial production launch in 2024, reporting 19.3% efficiency for its perovskite cell, certified by the National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE). By 2027, it targets GW-scale expansion.
The validation platform will initially work with a limited group of 40 pilot partners comprising PV manufacturers, energy developers, and organizations exploring the integration of perovskite or tandem technologies in future solar projects.
“As global interest in next-generation photovoltaic technologies continues to grow, initiatives focused on reliable scaling and industrial validation are expected to play an important role in accelerating commercialization,” added P3C Director and COO Shalini Singh.
On the topic of perovskites, key stakeholders working on silicon-perovskite tandem technologies will come together for the inaugural edition of TaiyangNews Virtual Conference on Next-Generation PV Technology 2026. Registrations for this event, scheduled for April 22, 2026, are open here.
