The newly developed tandem solar cell showcased a power conversion efficiency of 33.2 percent, the highest tandem solar efficiency ever recorded in the world.
Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology have developed a novel solar cell with the potential to significantly improve the energy efficiency of renewable sources.
. At the moment, crystalline silicon is the most commonly used material in photovoltaic technology to produce solar cells. They provide module efficiency of around 20-22 percent.on top and textured silicon on the bottom. When these materials are integrated, they substantially improve the capture and conversion of sunlight into electricity.
“This new record is the highest PCE of any two-junction solar cell under non-concentrated light, attesting the tremendous promise of perovskite/silicon tandems to deliver ultra-high performance photovoltaic modules, which is critical to rapidly achieve renewable energy goals towards combatting climate change,” said Dr. Stefaan De Wolf, who led this development, in aAccording to the official statement, the European Solar Test Installation has certified the newly built device.
The device is expected to dominate the solar technology market in the coming years. According to the release, predictions estimate that tandem perovskite/silicon technologies will account for a whopping $10 billion of the photovoltaic market share on a global scale in the coming decade .
