cell efficiency

A study from researchers at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia has shown that a synthetic molecule in the design of a perovskite solar cell can boost its energy efficiency and longevity.

Risen said the cell was certified by the Chinese National Photovoltaic Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center.

Brian Grenko of VDE Americas assesses the route to market for perovskite PV products as an alternative to silicon-based technologies.

Dubbed “MaNiTU”, the Fraunhofer project aimed to identify the most sustainable path for the market launch of tandem solar cells with perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells in the lead.
