DALLAS, Nov. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Hunt Perovskite
Technologies (HPT) today announced that it has been granted another
patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office
(USPTO). This latest patent (US10,741,779) relates to HPT's
ongoing work to improve metal halide perovskite material durability
through advanced ink chemistry technology and processing.
"We are building on our industry-leading patent portfolio, and
we continue to outpace our competitors, with a solid pipeline of
new patents on the way," said Scott
Burton, chief executive officer of HPT. "With over 65 global
patents, our platform is uniquely positioned to ensure our
technologies will play a dominant role over the next two decades in
developing the perovskite solar industry."
HPT currently owns the largest perovskite PV patent portfolio in
the United States and one of the
largest in the world. With this newest addition, HPT now has
22 patents granted by the USPTO and over 43 additional patents by
various foreign patent offices, along with dozens of pending
applications in four key areas, including: Materials-Level
Durability, Device-Level Durability, Ink Chemistry, and
Processing.
HPT is the only known ink-based perovskite solar technology
developer that has succeeded in demonstrating high durability under
accelerated lifetime testing for non-hermetically sealed devices
and unprotected perovskite materials, while maintaining respectable
light-to-power conversion efficiencies.
In addition, since HPT's ink-based technology is printable by
common techniques, it can not only produce a perovskite solar panel
at half the cost of traditional silicon with eighty percent less
CapEx, but it can also enable new applications, such as flexible
solar cells. Through this low CapEx and low-cost approach, HPT can
open up the manufacturing business model allowing partnering
companies to manufacture their solar products closer to areas of
demand.
"From the beginning, we have focused on developing metal halide
perovskite technologies that improve durability while maintaining
high efficiency under adverse conditions," said Michael D. Irwin, chief technology officer for
HPT. "Our growing international patent portfolio is a culmination
of those efforts and collectively represents the only perovskite
technology that fundamentally addresses the issues of stability and
performance while significantly reducing manufacturing costs."
