In November 2023, a buzzy solar technology broke yet another world record for efficiency. The previous record had existed for only about five months—and it likely won’t be long before it too is obsolete. This astonishing acceleration in efficiency gains comes from a special breed of next-generation solar technology: perovskite tandem solar cells.
This astonishing acceleration in efficiency gains comes from a special breed of next-generation solar technology: perovskite tandem solar cells. These cells layer the traditional silicon with materials that share a unique crystal structure.
Technical efficiency levels for silicon-based cells top out below 30%, while perovskite-only cells have reached experimental efficiencies of around 26%. But perovskite tandem cells have already exceeded 33% efficiency in the lab.
On November 3, 2023, LONGi announced a world record of 33.9% efficiency of crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem solar cells at 19th CSPV. The new record efficiency of 33.9% has surpassed the Shockley-Queisser (S-Q) theoretical efficiency limit of 33.7% of single junction solar cells for the first time.
Moreover, perovskites can be a potential material for the electrolytes to improve the stability of batteries. Additionally, with an aim towards a sustainable future, lead-free perovskites have also emerged as an important material for battery applications as seen above.
One crucial factor for an efficient and promising integrated system is the voltage matching between the solar cells and the batteries. This is where perovskite solar cells play a vital role due to their ability to provide a suitable voltage output based on tunable bandgaps.
