Perovskite Solar Photovoltaic Module

Utility-scale photovoltaic developers are preparing for a generational shift in solar generation economics following certified field trials of 33.9% power conversion efficiency in tandem perovskite-silicon solar modules.

By stacking a high-bandgap perovskite top cell above a conventional silicon bottom cell, tandem modules absorb both blue and infrared light spectrums, significantly outperforming standard monofacial silicon panels.
