Scientists from imec (partner in Solliance and EnergyVille), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), and Zentrum für Sonnenenergie- und Wasserstoff-Forschung Baden-Württemberg (Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research, ZSW), today announced that they have fabricated a thin-film solar module stack made up of perovskite and copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) with a conversion efficiency of 17.8%. For the first time, this tandem module surpasses the highest efficiencies of separate perovsk...
