Breakthrough in Perovskite Stability: record perovskite solar module stability under light, heat, and UV stress
An international research team led by Dr. Narges Yaghoobi Nia (President & Co-founder of IRITALY Trading Company) has achieved a major milestone in solar technology with the development of a novel two-dimensional (2D) perovskite interlayer.
Utilizing a sophisticated co-crystal engineering strategy, the team has created a more robust perovskite layer that significantly enhances both performance and long-term durability. This breakthrough is particularly impactful for the scalability of perovskite solar modules, demonstrating industry-leading stability under rigorous stress testing.
The solar modules retain more than 95% and 98% of their initial efficiency after >5,000 h of 1-sun light soaking and >1,000 h of ultraviolet-ray exposure, respectively, at maximum power point conditions. They also retain more than 91% of their initial efficiency after >5,000 h of continuous thermal stress at 85 °C.
As this is a significant breakthrough in the field, you can find the full details of the research, including the co-crystal engineering strategy and long-term stability data, in the official publication:
"A co-crystal engineering strategy for 2D/3D perovskite solar cells with enhanced stability" – Nature Energy, 2026, 11, 135-149.
& press news published in PV Magazine Global.
We extend our warmest congratulations to the dedicated researchers involved, with special recognition for the SUNPEROM team members from IRITALY Trading Company S.r.l. and EPFL.
This achievement marks a critical step forward in making perovskite technology a commercially viable and reliable solution for the global energy transition.
