Our CEO Joel Jean sat down with david roberts on his Volts podcast last week to chat through all things perovskites, solar, and how Swift Solar is creating the future of solar energy. For anyone looking to learn more about perovskites, consider this your 101 crash course! https://lnkd.in/gawCwsky

Solar is the future of energy. Perovskites are the future of solar. Swift Solar is ...

Thrilled with all the coverage the Swift Solar team got for our Series A round. Let’s get to work!? https://lnkd.in/gapJ-VDQ

I’m thrilled to announce Swift Solar’s Series A! ? We raised $27M led by Eni Next and Fontinalis Partners, with participation from a diverse group of investors including Stanford University, Good Growth Capital, BlueScopeX, HL Ventures, Toba Capital, Climate Capital, Adam Winkel, Jonathan Lin, and James Fickel, along with amazing founders like Sid Sijbrandij and Fred Ehrsam. 3 things to know: 1) Solar is the future of energy. Solar is growing faster than any other energy source, and it will provide over half of the world’s energy by 2050. Solar PV is one of the most important technologies for the future of humanity. 2) Perovskites are the future of solar. Perovskite tandem solar cells can outperform anything on the market today using less material and less energy. Tandems will make solar energy even more affordable and more widely accessible. 3) Swift Solar is pioneering perovskites. Our next-gen tandem technology will help bring solar manufacturing back to the US and stop climate change. We have hit major performance and stability targets and started making commercial-size tandem cells on our prototype manufacturing line. With this round, we are advancing from R&D toward manufacturing scale-up in the US. I'm excited to start the next chapter of Swift Solar’s journey with the support of our incredible investors and partners. If you want to help build the future of solar, please reach out! We’re hiring for key roles across R&D, Engineering, BD, and Marketing. Learn more about our Series A here: https://lnkd.in/g-93GUZ7

We are excited to have DOE’s continued support as we build next-generation tandem technology in the US!
