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.
Germany generated more power from renewable energy sources in the first half of 2024 than at any other time in its history, according to a report from the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE).
Installed solar PV capacity in Germany is expected to stabilise at 22GW per year from 2026 onwards, according to a report from the German Solar Association (BSW-Solar).
Perovskite solar cell researcher Oxford PV has unveiled a new perovskite-silicon tandem module in conjunction with German module producer Sunmaxx, with a record conversion efficiency of 26.6%.
