1st International tandemPV Workshop
[WORKSHOP]
 |
Tandem solar cells have emerged as a promising option for surpassing the single-junction efficiency limit, with impressive power conversion efficiencies above 29% reported recently in metal halide perovskite/silicon tandems as well as highly efficient III-V/silicon and perovskite/CIGS devices
1st tandemPV workshop organized by HZB took place 13th - 16th April 2021 | Online
It is the first dedicated event to bring together researchers from around the world who are studying tandem solar cells, with an emphasis on perovskite/silicon-based devices. The scope of the workshop encompassed the whole range of related topics:
- The first day was dedicated to materials research, discussing the challenges in top and bottom cell materials including carrier selective contacts and interconnection layers for tandems.
- The second day, was focussed on the tandem devices, especially the most mature ones: perovskite-silicon solar cells. A look was offered at other technologies such as III-V tandems: What could be learnt from their long history, on topics such as device design or calibrated device characterization?
- Finally, the workshop was rounded off on the third day with an industry day, where topics such as upscaling, industrialization and module technology of tandem cells was covered, again focussing on perovskite/silicon tandems
With almost 600 participants from 44 countries, this workshop provided the platform for sharing inspiring and innovative approaches to one of the most exciting topics in today’s PV research and development: Tandem solar cells.
