Oxford PV was established in 2010 as a spin-out from Professor Henry Snaith’s lab at the University of Oxford. Today, Oxford University still hold ownership stakes in Oxford PV. We also have the largest team globally, exclusively focused on developing and commercialising a perovskite based solar cell technology.
