According to foreign media reports, Cosmos Innovation today announced a total of $19.7 million in financing . The funding will support the company's fundamentally different approach to developing perovskite silicon tandem solar cell technology . It is reported that Cosmos Innovation is an artificial intelligence company dedicated to building the next generation of perovskite silicon tandem (PST) solar cell technology.
The funding coincides with the launch of Mobius, Cosmos Innovation's industry-leading artificial intelligence formulation optimization platform. Mobius has been demonstrated in areas as diverse as solar , silicon carbide, advanced data center chips, and advanced packaging. The platform powers Cosmos Innovation's ambitious effort to build the world's first self-learning fab in solar and semiconductors .
Cosmos Innovation is reinventing the manual, trial-and-error development process of semiconductor history by using artificial intelligence to optimize and accelerate the experimental design, test, and iteration cycle. The company is at the forefront of using artificial intelligence to build more disruptive physics, science and technology. Cosmos Innovation plans to build the world's first self-learning fab in this area and hopes its approach will lead to best-in-class performance for perovskite silicon tandem solar cells.
Artificial Intelligence Brings Next Generation Solar to Market
Perovskite silicon tandem is gaining attention in the solar industry due to its potential to outperform today's industry standard pure silicon performance. However, there are fundamental challenges to overcome to bring this novel design to market. That is, the multi-layer architecture leads to a myriad of possible design variations, making the optimal "recipe" for achieving peak cell efficiency and stability time-consuming and expensive. Cosmos Innovation is applying Mobius to unlock the full potential of perovskite silicon tandem technology. With the help of advanced artificial intelligence, Cosmic Innovations aims to develop the world's most cost-effective, efficient solar cells .
Cosmos Innovation is already seeing significant results from the Mobius platform. The company has partnered with leading semiconductor companies to achieve 10x speedup and step function improvements in process recipe development time and targeted performance metrics. Mobius can discover a combination of materials, processes, and architectures to produce the most efficient solar cells in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. "Mainstream silicon solar technology is reaching its technological limits," said Vijay Chandrasekhar, CEO and co-founder
of Cosmos Innovation. "Our innovative AI process optimization platform allows us to accelerate the solar industry's once-in-a-lifetime platform transition to perovskite silicon tandem technology." "Our use of AI-driven experimental design will enable Cosmos Innovation to arrive at optimal solutions with fewer experiments.". This approach will allow us to manufacture efficient, cost-effective solar cells in a shorter time frame, which is key to achieving the ambitious net zero goals set around the world.
