This final report outlines how the project established new research capabilities including measurement protocols for assessing the stability of Si-perovskite solar cells. The report discusses key highlights and challenges in improving the durability of perovskites.
Report extract
This Project fulfilled its aim to improve the durability of perovskites for silicon (Si)-perovskite-tandem photovoltaics (PV) which is critical for this technology to be truly cost effective. Long lifetime is critical to guarantee the same or lower levelized-cost-of-energy to incentivise manufacturers to invest in tandem-cell technology, which may be seeking the additional power generated by Si-perovskite tandem PV with high efficiency. This project completed the tasks as set out in the 4 Work Packages as outlined in the Project Overview.
