Monolithic Si/Perovskite Tandem Solar Cell: Towards High-Efficiency at Low-Cost
Started 2020
This project will develop innovative concepts and advanced designs towards commercially-viable silicon/perovskite tandem solar cells.ANU – New Materials – Perovskite modules that are stable under real world conditions
Published 2023
The project was to develop peroskite solar modules that are stable under partial shading conditions. Solar cells based on peroskite materials have the potential to further reduce the cost of solar electricity, due to their many attractive properties. The project provided a sound theoretical basis for understanding the behaviour and degradation of peroskite solar cells under reverse bias and led to the creation of a set of design guidelines for the fabrication of reverse bias-tolerant cells.Building integrated photovoltaic project wins another award
