perovskite cells

CSIRO researchers have developed a roll-to-roll printed solar cell with a power conversion efficiency as high as 15.5%.

Perovskite solar cell researcher Oxford PV and German research organisation Fraunhofer ISE have developed a full-sized tandem PV module with a record efficiency of 25%.

Upstream US-based solar manufacturer CubicPV might feasibly be the place at which tandem perovskite PV products are successfully made durable enough for commercial use; two recent announcements have come out of the company that speak to the potential of its tandem development route.

A research team from the National University of Singapore has unveiled perovskite solar cells with a power conversion efficiency of 24.35%.

The National University of Singapore and REC Solar have launched a US$57.4 million (S$77 million) solar cell research initiative.

US solar manufacturer CubicPV has received US$103 million in equity financing to support its plans to develop a US silicon wafer production base.

Enel Green Power’s Sicilian subsidiary 3Sun has developed a 9cm squared silicon-perovskite tandem PV cell in partnership with the French national institute of solar energy (INES) and the CEA, a French government-funded research institution.

A consortium of Dutch and German organisations led by the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) has developed a tandem solar PV module that is aimed to be introduced in European markets.

Researchers in Singapore have found a less environmentally damaging way to produce perovskite solar cells in a laboratory, removing the need for lead which had previously been used.

German research centre Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) has claimed a silicon/perovskite tandem cell efficiency record of 32.5%.
