Researchers from Princeton University and the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have achieved a breakthrough in solar technology by combining traditional silicon solar cells with emerging perovskite cells in a tandem configuration. This innovative approach not only enhances overall efficiency but also addresses perovskite’s vulnerability to voltage-induced changes caused by shading.
The tandem cells not only matched the resilience of silicon cells but also surpassed previous efficiency records, offering a potential solution to stability challenges in perovskite technology. This development paves the way for more efficient and commercially viable solar solutions, with perovskites complementing existing silicon cell manufacturing processes.
