Solar Panel Breakthrough , Could Make Renewable Energy , More Commercially Viable.
'The Independent' reports that a new
'miracle material' is behind a mass produced
solar panel with significantly increased efficiency. .
Perovskite has the potential to revolutionize the renewable energy
industry, however, its transition to commercial applications
has been hampered by durability and reliability issues.
A team led by Germany's Karlsruhe Institute of
Technology believes the vacuum process could allow
next-gen solar panels to become viable in the commercial market.
Vacuum-based processes
have proven themselves in
industry for many decades, Ulrich W. Paetzold, Professor at the Institute of Microstructure Technology and Light Technology Institute at KIT, via 'The Independent'.
Although they can decisively
advance the commercialization
of solar cells, they are heavily
underrepresented, Ulrich W. Paetzold, Professor at the Institute of Microstructure Technology and Light Technology Institute at KIT, via 'The Independent'.
'The Independent' reports that solar cells made with a
combination of silicon and perovskite have been shown
to generate more energy than traditional silicon cells.

According to Chinese solar technology firm Longi,
their silicon-perovskite tandem solar cell is nearly
30% more efficient than the best silicon cells.
Another startup in China claimed to have reached a
silicon-perovskite tandem solar cell breakthrough that
would allow them to begin mass production in 2023.

At the same time, UK startup Oxford PV has also
announced plans to make the perovskite tandem cells
available commercially with a production facility in Germany. .
