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 performance. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL) study found, “Most photovoltaic (PV) modules manufactured presently are based on single-junction silicon solar cells. By pairing silicon with another solar cell material such as metal halide perovskites (MHPs), thus creating a tandem. Manufacturers can create a solar…

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 component loss in perovskites. Talking about the intervention of the researchers, the scientific paper published by the researchers in Nature Communications said, “Herein, we introduce an ultrathin (~7 nm) p-type polymeric interlayer (D18) with excellent ion-blocking ability between perovskite and HTL to address these issues.…
