German-led consortium aims for 33% efficient perovskite-silicon solar cell
t is called ’27plus6?: A new research project bringing together the expertise of leading German and Swiss technology companies and research institutes, with the goal of developing a 33%-efficient perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell suitable for mass production.
The project includes Germany’s Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin (ISFH), the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the Institute for Materials and Components in Electronics at the University of Hannover, as well as PV equipment providers Centrotherm, Singulus, Meyer Burger and Von Ardenne.
The consortium said that it aims to achieve the promised conversion efficiency under standard test conditions, and that is also seeking to reach a higher power yield, intended to accelerate industrial implementation.
