Applauds India’s First Completely Indigenous Perovskite PV Module and Tandem Solar Cell Innovation.
Bangalore, July 18, 2025
ABX3 PV Private Limited, a pioneering Indian deep-tech startup working on next-generation solar technology, proudly hosted Hon’ble Union Minister of New & Renewable Energy, Shri Pralhad Joshi, during his visit to the IISc and CeNSE department this week. The Minister’s visit marks a significant milestone for ABX3 PV and India’s fast-growing ecosystem of clean-tech innovation.
During the visit, ABX3 PV showcased its latest breakthrough – India’s first stable, A4-sized flexible perovskite solar cell module. Designed for lightweight, portable, and curved-surface applications, this flexible module combines cutting-edge materials science with scalable fabrication techniques. The Hon’ble Minister was visibly impressed with the progress and product maturity, acknowledging it as a crucial leap in India’s journey toward solar self-reliance.
In addition to the flexible solar technology, ABX3 PV also demonstrated a working prototype of its M12 tandem PV module, a next-gen multi-semiconductor solar cell device with promising preliminary efficiency figures surpassing current global state-of-the-art. The tandem architecture, which stacks multiple light-absorbing layers for enhanced performance, positions ABX3 PV at the forefront of high-efficiency solar energy research and development globally and furthering Government of India’s mission to Make in India for the World.
Addressing the team during his visit, Shri Pralhad Joshi remarked:
“Startups like ABX3 PV are the true torchbearers of India’s renewable energy revolution. The innovative work in flexible and tandem solar cell technologies demonstrates not only scientific excellence but also a strong national spirit. The Government will continue to stand with such initiatives and ensure every support possible.”
He further offered a personal note of encouragement and extended an invitation for future collaboration and institutional support, reinforcing his Ministry’s commitment to nurturing indigenous innovation and deep-tech startups.
ABX3 PV is now preparing to transition from lab to pilot scale, with the setup of an indigenous production line for perovskite PV modules, along with continuous advancement in tandem device development. With its proprietary materials, robust IP portfolio, and a talented team of globally acclaimed researchers and engineers, ABX3 PV is poised to contribute meaningfully to India’s clean energy goals.
The ABX3 PV team, expressed their gratitude: “It’s an honour to showcase our innovations to the Hon’ble Minister. His encouragement gives us confidence as we scale up toward pilot production and commercialization. ABX3 PV is committed to building world-class solar technologies from India for the global markets.”
The Minister’s visit not only validates the technological strides made by ABX3 PV but also reflects the Government of India’s increasing engagement with deep-tech startups solving critical challenges in the renewable energy space.
ABX3 PV extends its heartfelt thanks to Hon’ble Minister Shri Pralhad Joshi and the MNRE team for their visit, inspiration, and visionary support.
