Solar Perovskites in U.S. Army Microgrid Demonstration
Swift Solar, a U.S.-based manufacturer, supplied perovskite tandem solar cells for a U.S. Department of Defense cyber security demonstration.
The perovskite solar cells were integrated into the Rapid Deployment Hybrid MicroGrid (RDHM) by Resilient Energy & Infrastructure.
- Modular microgrids for quick setup and relocation
- Built in standard shipping containers (10 ft., 20 ft., and 40 ft.)
- Deployable in disaster response, military operations, or remote power generation
The deployable microgrid uses multiple energy inputs, including a diesel generator, battery energy storage system, and perovskite solar cells.
Marking one of the first operational deployments of perovskites.
