The IIT Bombay spinout has built a tandem cell combining perovskite with silicon and CdTe, and is setting up a pilot manufacturing line on campus with government funding.
A silicon solar cell has a ceiling it cannot pass.
Silicon absorbs some wavelengths of sunlight well and wastes others, and the physics of that mismatch caps a single-junction silicon cell at around 29% conversion efficiency.
Commercial panels sit several points below it.
The industry has spent decades closing on a limit it cannot break.
The way past it is to stop using one material.
Manufacturers are eyeing the next generation of solar photovoltaic cells, which will give a further lift to efficiency and…
