RadianX has secured $9 million in financing as it moves toward commercial production of perovskite solar modules
The company plans to establish a 6 MW automated production line with manufacturing partner Pacific Union Technology
Its perovskite modules have achieved 22.33% certified efficiency at a size of 1.2 × 0.6 m
US-based perovskite photovoltaic manufacturer RadianX, formerly known as California Perovskite Technology, has secured $9 million in combined venture and project financing to expand production of its perovskite solar modules. The seed funding round was co-led by venture capital firm SOSV and investment firm Twynam. RadianX also plans to establish a dedicated 6 MW automated production line with funding support from precision manufacturing company Pacific Union Technology Precision Manufacturing (PUT).
The facility will manufacture perovskite modules for applications such as wireless sensors, wearables, connected devices, and robotics. RadianX aims to use the initial production line as a model for future manufacturing expansion.
RadianX develops thin-film perovskite modules that can generate electricity under indoor, outdoor, and low-light conditions. The modules are as thin as 0.7 mm and can be manufactured in different sizes and output voltages for integration into electronic devices. The technology is intended to reduce dependence on conventional batteries, particularly in devices that require frequent battery replacement.
On the technology side, RadianX reports a certified module efficiency of 22.33% for a perovskite module measuring 1.2 × 0.6 m. According to the company, this represented a record for the module format at the time of certification. It has also obtained efficiency certifications at cell, panel, and full-module levels.
The company states that its modules are among the first perovskite products to receive TÜV certification across all three categories of IEC TS 63163, a technical specification covering photovoltaic modules for consumer products. This includes Category 3, which addresses products exposed to demanding outdoor conditions. RadianX also reports passing lead-release testing under the European Union’s REACH regulation and complying with RoHS requirements. RadianX is already working with device manufacturers to integrate its PV modules into commercial products.
