Palpable perovskite production It is now widely accepted that PV module efficiencies can be increased by combining silicon with perovskites. pv magazine visited module maker GCL Optoelectronics at its factory near Shanghai, where it is ramping up production of these tandem modules. Founder Fan Bin believes that cost parity with today’s module technologies could be achieved as early as 2028.

Scientists build PEDOT:PSS-free all-perovskite tandem solar cell with 29.1% efficiency PEDOT:PSS is commonly used as a hole transport layer in perovskite solar cells because it combines high transparency, good conductivity, and suitable energy-level alignment, but its moisture sensitivity and acidity can damage perovskite layers and limit long-term stability. In contrast, replacing it with a phenothiazine-based self-assembled monolayer allows better interfacial control during crystallization, lowers defect densities, and enables highly efficient all-perovskite tandem devices with a reported efficiency of 29.1%.

Polish scientists build 21.87% semi-transparent perovskite PV cell for tandem applications The device was fabricated using a p–i–n architecture with a solution-processed tin oxide buffer layer that shields the perovskite from damage during room-temperature indium tin oxide sputtering. The team optimized the transparent rear electrode and integrated the best-performing cell into a four-terminal perovskite/silicon tandem device.

Indian researchers build transparent perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell with 30.2% efficiency The transparent four-terminal perovskite solar cell employs an ion-modulated spiro-MeOTAD hole transport layer, which passivates interfacial defects, enhances carrier dynamics, and allows for a tunable work function in wide-bandgap perovskites. When integrated into mechanically stacked 4T tandems with an n-TOPCon cell, the device achieved an overall efficiency of 28.4–30.2%, along with improved open-circuit voltage and fill factor.

Modeling subcell degradation rates in perovskite-silicon tandem solar modules Researchers in the Netherlands developed a model to identify tolerable degradation rates of the top cell in perovskite-silicon tandem modules. Simulations showed that an increase in tandem module efficiency from 28.0% to 32.9% could raise the tolerable degradation rate by approximately 50%.
