Enhancing performance in two-terminal tandem solar cells
Solar photovoltaics (PV) is a significant stepping-stone in our shift towards a sustainable energy economic climate. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) roadmap suggests that by 2050, power generation from PV ought to reach 43 percent of the overall installed power capacity. This can be turned into reality by reducing the cost of PV systems as well as raising the efficiency of solar cells, which would allow massive setups of compacts PV.
