  • Hanergy had MiaSolé Hi-Tech Corp and European Solliance Solar Research study insurance claim to have actually attained a power conversion performance of 26.5% on a tandem solar cell.
MiaSolé, European Solliance Case 26.5% Efficiency on Tandem Solar Cells

The brand-new record builds on their previous document in 2019. The design integrates 2 thin-film solar cell modern technologies: a leading inflexible semi-transparent perovskite solar cell with a lower flexible copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) cell.

Miasole declares that this outstanding efficiency was achieved by enhancing the bandgap and the effectiveness of both the inflexible semi-transparent perovskite leading cell and also the flexible CIGS lower cell. The CIGS was roll to roll generated on steel foil, with a remarkable power conversion efficiency of 20.0%.

"Rollable, extremely light, solar cells and also modules have actually significantly increased the applications of solar energy in facilities, electric automobiles, and also mobile energy markets. MiaSolé has supplied a rollable solar cell efficiency of 20.56% as well as a large location module effectiveness of 18.64% on production prepared tools, and we will certainly keep damaging more world documents along with Solliance to build perovskite/CIGS tandem innovation for the future." Included Dr. Jie Zhang, CEO of the US-based MiaSolé.

The steady and also scalable semi-transparent perovskite solar cell have been established on glass. This cell architecture is currently transferred to a flexible carrier making it possible for a fully flexible, very efficient solar aluminum foil. The tool was enhanced to optimize the noticeable light conversion and also at the same time to optimize the infrared light transparency in order to enable the majority of infrared light to reach the bottom CIGS cell. This method resulted in an efficiency of 17.5% for the top tool, gauged at the optimum powerpoint, tracked for 5 mins. At Solliance TNO, imec, as well as TU/e added to recognize this perovskite solar cell.

MiaSolé Hi-Tech Corp. has been a prominent firm in rollable thin-film solar innovation. Its proprietary turnkey tools lines, CIGS process modern technologies, CIG sputtering target modern technologies, progressed automation and also extra components solutions look for to supply consumers every little thing they require to create their very own ingenious high-efficiency solar items. Established in 2004, the company has actually evolved into the globe leader in thin-film solar module effectiveness and supplies the biggest readily available rollable unbreakable solar modules up to 540w/piece at weight 2.2 kg/m ².
