German Researchers Fabricate Black Perovskite Cells with 15% Efficiency Updated On Mon, Jun 21st, 2021 by Saurenergy In a recent paper entitled “Efficient Thermally Evaporated γ-CsPbI3 Perovskite Solar Cells,” published this month in the journal Advanced Energy Materials, scientists report on the fabrication of a ‘black perovskite‘ PV device — a solar cell based on all-organic cesium-lead iodide (CsPbI3) — by thermal evaporation. Researchers at the Dresden University of Technology (TUD) note that […] Read more
Kesterite Offers A Pathway To Greener Solar Cells Updated On Thu, Jun 3rd, 2021 by Saurenergy Kesterite is a natural mineral with many important material properties, including a band gap that can be used as a light absorber material for next generation thin-film solar cells. Unlike their perovskite-based competitor technologies, Kesterite solar cells are natural and non-toxic, making them them a truly eco-friendly alternative to the fully or partially inorganic materials, silicon and […] Read more
UK Study shows storing Perovskite Materials at Low Temp extends lifespan Updated On Tue, Jun 1st, 2021 by Saurenergy In a paper published this year, researchers at the University of Sheffield, UK, describe a novel method to add three to four more months to the average lifespan of perovskite materials, thereby throwing light on new ways to cut down wastage in the manufacture of solar cell technologies. Entitled Perovskites on Ice: An Additive-Free Approach to […] Read more

MiaSolé, European Solliance Claim 26.5% Efficiency on Tandem Solar Cells Updated On Thu, Feb 18th, 2021 by Saurenergy Hanergy owned MiaSolé Hi-Tech Corp and European Solliance Solar Research claim to have achieved a power conversion efficiency of 26.5% on a tandem solar cell. The new record builds on their previous record in 2019. The architecture combines two thin-film solar cell technologies: a top rigid semi-transparent perovskite solar cell with a bottom flexible copper […] Read more
Perovskites Poised to Disrupt Solar Supply Chains Everywhere: Rethink Tech Updated On Wed, Feb 10th, 2021 by Saurenergy Perovskite seems to have been with us for a decade and so far it has not changed anyone’s life, changed the price of solar, or eaten into any company’s profit. And according to a new report, it’s about to. The report finds that Perovskite solar will invade conventional solar in 3 distinct ways, beginning in […] Read more
