June 29 (Asia Today) -- Hanwha Qcells said Monday it will lead a government-backed research project to test commercial-size perovskite-silicon tandem solar modules as the South Korean company targets commercial production in 2029.
The project marks a shift in the global race to develop tandem solar technology from laboratory research toward testing its performance, reliability and economic viability under commercial conditions.
Hanwha Qcells recently signed an agreement to conduct a project titled "Development and Demonstration of Commercial-Size Perovskite-Crystalline Silicon Tandem Module Technology."
The Korea Institute of Energy Technology Evaluation and Planning will oversee the project as part of a government energy technology development program.
