Tandem Solar Modules Can Reduce Manufacturing Costs: NREL Updated On Wed, Jan 15th, 2025 by Saurenergy Increasing solar module efficiency and expanding manufacturing capacity play complementary roles in reducing the costs of metal halide perovskite/silicon tandem solar modules, according to researchers at the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Each cost lever can play a similar role depending on a manufacturer’s ability to scale up and improve module […] Read more
New Perovskite Solar Cell Technology Claims 26.39% Efficiency Updated On Thu, Jan 2nd, 2025 by Saurenergy Researchers from China’s Huaqiao Univerisity have now claimed 26.39% efficiency from perovskite solar cells with a special technology. The researchers said that highly efficient perovskite solar cells in the n-i-p structure demonstrated limited operational lifetimes earlier due to the layer-to-layer ion diffusion in perovskite/doped hole-transport layer (HTL) heterojunction, leading to conductivity drop in HTL and […] Read more
