IPVF demonstrates 16.8%-efficient mini bifacial perovskite solar module
The French research institute said the bifacial wide bandgap perovskite technology is to be scaled in size to 60 cm x 30 cm for use in four-terminal perovskite-silicon tandem panels.
IPVF testing new perovskite solar PV testing platform from Ecoprogetti
The French research institute has added to its perovskite solar cell and module pilot line an Ecoprogetti integrated testing platform that combines a solar simulator with advanced electroluminescence (EL) analysis.
Researchers identify main source of wide-bandgap solar perovskite degradation
Scientists in Belgium have investigated how perovskite absorbers used in solar cell degrade under three different stress test types and have found that the interface between the perovskite layer and the electron transport layer suffers from weak thermomechanical stability, which creates the conditions for performance losses.

Renshine Solar says it has achieved a record 27.5% efficiency for a flexible all-perovskite cell and 23.0% on a 20.26 cm² panel.
Huaneng switches on 5 MW perovskite solar test facility in China
Huaneng has commissioned a 5 MW perovskite PV demonstration plant in China’s Qinghai province to test performance, durability, and environmental adaptability under high-altitude, high-UV conditions.
First attempt to build tandem solar cells based on perovskite, transition metal dichalcogenide
Scientists in India have proposed to design new tandem solar cells using transition metal dichalcogenide as an absorber material for the bottom PV device. Their simulations showed these tandem cells may reach an efficiency of over 35%.
U.S. startup offers tin oxide, nickel oxide materials for flexible perovskite solar cells, modules
Sofab Inks, a spinoff of University of Louisville in the United States, says its transport layer materials enable perovskite solar cells with greater stability, efficiency, and scalability compared to incumbent materials.
Chinese scientists improve carbon perovskite solar cell performance via dual-solvent process
A team of researchers in China has demonstrated a novel dual-solvent process in 4-terminal carbon CsPbBr3 perovskite solar cells that achieve 10.18% power conversion efficiency.
