Oxford PV, a European-based solar perovskite enterprise, has granted access to its patent portfolio to First Solar, the American photovoltaic module manufacturer. This agreement permits First Solar to utilise Oxford PV's existing licensed patents and those currently under application. This non-exclusive licence enables First Solar to advance its research and development of solar photovoltaic devices incorporating perovskite semiconductors for deployment in large-scale ground-mounted, commercial and residential markets within the United States. The licence scope covers potential manufacturing and distribution of such products in the US, excluding crystalline silicon semiconductors. Further terms remain undisclosed.

Recently, Yifly Laser has secured a significant collaboration with a leading enterprise in China's photovoltaic sector, successfully concluding a bulk order for laser processing equipment targeting 2㎡+ perovskite tandem solar cells.

Recently, Indonesia's Investment Minister Rosan Perusahan announced that the nation has secured approximately US$1.4 billion in foreign investment specifically earmarked for solar power infrastructure development. Concurrently advancing this significant initiative, Indonesia's sovereign wealth fund, Dana Abadi Nasional, plans to establish a large-scale solar panel manufacturing facility domestically with an annual production capacity of 50 gigawatts. This project has received an initial investment of US$1.4 billion.
