Perovskite solar startup Sofab Inks has raised USD 6 million in seed funding led by Cloudberry Ventures to expand production of its nanostructured materials for perovskite solar cells. The company said its metal-oxide nanoparticle material replaces the conventional C60 fullerene-based layer and is designed to improve durability, a key challenge for commercialization. Sofab said its perovskite cell has achieved 22.3% efficiency in 30-cm single-junction perovskite modules and plans to scale manufacturing for commercial-size 1×2 m modules.
