Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE

Revolutionary method re-manufactures perovskite solar cells with 88% efficiency. Reduce environmental impact by reusing and recycling components, cutting CO2 emissions by up to 53%.

Discover how Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE achieved a record open circuit voltage of >2.8 V in their perovskite-based triple-junction solar cell. Understand how optimizations in interlayers and gas quenching methods enabled this success and how this could lead to more efficient solar energy generation in the future.

To pave the way for the industrial application of reliable perovskite-silicon PV modules, a reliable measuring system for tandem solar cells and also modules have to be established. Just after that can objective comparisons in between various cells and modules occur. In comparison to conventional silicon PV modules, nevertheless, the calibration is considerably more challenging.

Operating in consortium with CSEM, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, Fraunhofer ISE, as well as the University of Stuttgart, Meyer Burger is looking into tandem solar cells and developing next-generation solar modules These activities center around the automation of the new technologies, or large scale production of solar cells with efficiencies of more than 30 percent

When producing silicon solar cells, it is essential to have a high throughput. This lowers production prices as well as relieves supply traffic jams as more photovoltaics installments are being released in Germany and also worldwide.

Along with the classic applications for solar cells on roofings and also open spaces, photovoltaic or pv tools can also be used with laser light for reliable power transmission. Researchers at Germany's Fraunhofer ISE case to have achieved a 68.9% conversion effectiveness rate for a III-V solar cell that can be used in laser power transmissions systems.
