Oxford PV Joins UK EV Solar Project to Enhance Efficiency and Range
Oxford PV, a specialist in perovskite photovoltaic technology, has joined a UK-led research and development program aimed at integrating solar technology into electric vehicles (EVs) to improve efficiency and extend range. The initiative, known as SUITE (Smart Use of Integrated Technology for EV), is supported by the Advanced Propulsion Centre UK through the government-backed DRIVE35 program, in partnership with Innovate UK. The consortium includes the Nissan Technical Centre UK, along with various engineering firms and universities, working collaboratively to develop next-generation vehicle-integrated solar panels. Oxford PV will contribute its perovskite-on-silicon solar technology, which offers high-efficiency, lightweight photovoltaic solutions critical for automotive applications. According to David Ward, the company's chief executive, this collaboration is expected to unlock significant advancements in solar performance and create new opportunities for vehicle-integrated energy generation.
