Researchers develop perovskite-CIGS with 21.1% efficiency
Researchers from the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Study Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) have actually accomplished 21.1 percent efficiency with tandem perovskite - CIGS solar cells. These thin-film-based modules are very efficient, light and flexible as well as can open doors to lots of new usage cases for which standard rigid modules are not suitable.

New understandings right into energy loss open doors for up-and-coming solar tech
Organic solar cells are an emerging technology with a great deal of promise. Unlike the ubiquitous silicon solar panel, they have the possible to be lightweight, flexible, and present a variety of colors, making them particularly eye-catching for urban or façade applications. Nonetheless, continued innovations in device performance have been slow as researchers work to recognize the fundamental processes underlying exactly how organic solar cells operate.
