Homerun Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Homerun Resources Inc., announced that its large‑area perovskite photovoltaic modules have retained more than 95 % of their initial efficiency after over 5,000 hours of full‑sun light soaking at maximum‑power‑point conditions. The test, conducted on 9.0 cm² and 48 cm² modules, confirms that the company’s co‑crystal engineering approach delivers both high efficiency and long‑term durability under real‑world operating conditions.
The durability data are reported in a peer‑reviewed study published in Nature Energy titled “Co‑crystal engineering of a two‑dimensional perovskite phase for perovskite solar modules with improved efficiency and stability.” The study documents that the modules maintained 95 % of their initial power output after 5,000 hours of continuous exposure, a benchmark that has historically been a barrier to commercial deployment of perovskite technology.
This milestone positions Homerun Energy to scale its perovskite modules for industrial applications, including building‑integrated photovoltaics and lightweight aerospace panels. By demonstrating long‑term stability, the company strengthens its case to investors and partners, reinforcing confidence in its broader clean‑energy strategy that spans silica resources, solar glass manufacturing, and energy storage.
CEO Luca Sorbello said the publication validates the company’s industrial roadmap: “The Nature Energy study confirms that our large‑area modules combine high efficiency with durability under real operating conditions, a critical step toward bankability and scaling our manufacturing line.” He added that the results support the company’s goal of expanding revenue streams in commercial and industrial solar markets.
Homerun Energy’s achievement builds on its acquisition of Halocell Europe in late 2024, which added advanced perovskite expertise, and on its participation in the EU‑funded SMARTLINE‑PV project that focuses on tin‑based, lead‑free perovskite cells. Together, these initiatives underscore the parent company’s vertically integrated strategy to deliver end‑to‑end clean‑energy solutions.
The 95 % efficiency retention after 5,000 hours represents a significant technical breakthrough that could accelerate the adoption of perovskite modules in markets that demand both high performance and long‑term reliability, potentially reshaping the competitive landscape of the solar industry.
