Tandem PV on Inaugural List of 50 Climate Tech Companies Likely to Significantly Drive Carbon Reductions by 2050


Tandem PV, a pioneering force in American perovskite solar technology, has been included in an illustrious list of 50 private climate tech companies with strong potential to significantly drive carbon reduction over the next 25 years. The inaugural 50 by 2050 list, unveiled in a new report published by Congruent Ventures and Silicon Valley Bank, of which Tandem PV is a client, includes other such innovators as Commonwealth Fusion Systems, Impossible Foods, Redwood Materials, Sila and TerraPower.

"Tandem PV is honored to be recognized and selected for the 50 by 2025 list as a leading carbon-reduction player by Congruent Ventures and Silicon Valley Bank," said Tandem PV CEO Scott Wharton. "Our disruptive perovskite technology has the potential to produce solar panels that are up to 40% more powerful than average silicon modules. Our mission from the start has been to meet the urgent imperative for a swift global transition to net zero."

The report's authors surveyed over 50 experts in academia, finance and private-sector business to assemble the 50 by 2025 list, analyzing thousands of North American startup companies categorized into manufacturing, energy, building and mobility, food and agriculture sectors.

Tandem PV, founded in the Silicon Valley in 2016, has raised $33 million in venture capital and government funds to date. Nearing commercialization of its advanced perovskite-tandem solar panels, Tandem PV plans to launch its first factory by 2026. It has consistently received feedback from industry leaders that its technology already offers superior efficiency, affordability and durability compared to competitors.

"While climate change is daunting," the report's authors note, "we are encouraged by the entrepreneurial energy that is rising to meet the challenge. Climate companies are attracting tremendous talent and are developing breakthrough solutions backed by significant funding."
