Enel Green Power’s Sicilian subsidiary 3Sun has developed a 9cm squared silicon-perovskite tandem PV cell in partnership with the French national institute of solar energy (INES) and the CEA, a French government-funded research institution.
A consortium of Dutch and German organisations led by the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) has developed a tandem solar PV module that is aimed to be introduced in European markets.
Researchers in Singapore have found a less environmentally damaging way to produce perovskite solar cells in a laboratory, removing the need for lead which had previously been used.
Heterojunction cell and module manufacturer Meyer Burger has established a new series of partnerships to research and develop perovskite tandem solar technology, with a view to bringing the technology to industrial scale.
Europe will benefit from a new research and innovation (R&I) project intended to advance the continent’s tandem solar PV cell manufacturing and production capabilities, focusing on tandem silicon-perovskite cells.
Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have constructed a perovskite solar cell that they say is both highly efficient and stable.
