Will Norman asks if mass-scale deployment of perovskite technology is now imminent and whether it could unseat crystalline silicon as the dominant solar technology.
Researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and Humboldt University Berlin have achieved an efficiency of 24.6% with a copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) and perovskite tandem solar cell.
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.
