Scientists have broken the efficiency record for tandem silicon-perovskite solar cells, surpassing the milestone of 30 percent for the first time. The new record takes the technology beyond the upper limits of silicon alone, using low-cost and scalable materials. Silicon has long dominated the solar cell industry, thanks to a solid combination of efficiency, durability, […]
KAUST team develops high-efficiency, industry-ready perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells
Novel solar device tested in real-world conditions sets new efficiency limits in Nature Energy publication. JEDDAH : Perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells hold the promise of power conversion efficiencies well above the theoretical limit of silicon alone. But their outdoor performance in a hot and sunny climate has not been fully investigated — until now. A […]
