6 FAQs about [Photo of stacked solar cells]

How do two-terminal perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells work?

How are perovskite/Si tandem solar cells measured?

To measure the electrical characteristics of the perovskite/Si tandem solar cells, the ITO back electrode of the perovskite solar cell was simply pressed on the metal grid of the Si solar cell, as schematically shown in Figure 1 C of the main text of the manuscript and in Figure S3 B. The two cells are aligned by means of a rack.

Why are amorphous/crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cells a bottleneck?

However, the solution processing of perovskite solar cells directly onto the textured front surface of high-efficiency amorphous/crystalline silicon heterojunction cells is the main bottleneck. Our simple two-terminal mechanical stacking of the sub-cells helps achieve highly performant PV devices.

What are the different types of solar cells?

The first one is a commercial c-Si solar cell with the screen-printed aluminum back surface field (Al-BSF), while the second one is a Si HJT solar cell (see Supplemental Information for more details). Both types of silicon bottom cells have been provided or finished with screen-printed Ag grids.

What is a mechanical stacking approach for perovskite top cells?

Different from the typical two-terminal tandem configurations, 24,29, 30, 31, 32 our “mechanical stacking approach” does not require a polished front surface of the silicon bottom cell to enable the subsequent solution processing of the perovskite top cells since the sub-cells are independently fabricated.

How long do tandem solar cells stay at MPP?

Both cells were kept at MPP for the whole duration of the test. As shown in Figure S9, both devices exhibited a similar degradation trend, with the T 80 (defined as the time the cell reaches 80% of its starting efficiency) being approximately 100 h for both the tandem solar cells and the single perovskite sub-cell.
