Photovoltaic (PV) technology is ready to become one of the main energy sources of, and
contributers to, carbon neutrality by the mid‐21st century. In 2020, a total of 135 GW of PV …

This review focuses on monolithic 2‐terminal perovskite‐silicon tandem solar cells and
discusses key scientific and technological challenges to address in view of an industrial …

Multi-junction (tandem) solar cells (TSCs) consisting of multiple light absorbers with
considerably different band gaps show great potential in breaking the Shockley–Queisser (S …

The global photovoltaic (PV) market is dominated by crystalline silicon (c-Si) based
technologies with heavily doped, directly metallized contacts. Recombination of photo …

Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells promise power conversion efficiencies beyond the
Shockley–Queisser limit of single-junction devices; however, their actual outdoor …

Since reaching 20% efficiency, research in perovskite photovoltaics has shifted from a race
for efficiency to a race for stability. For efficiency, the standard test conditions set the rules for …

We review the recent progress of silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells. Recently, a new
efficiency world record for silicon solar cells of 26.7% has been set by Kaneka Corp. using …

Perovskite solar cells (PSC) have shown that under laboratory conditions they can compete
with established photovoltaic technologies. However, controlled laboratory measurements …

The performance of a solar-assisted DX-PVT heat pump (direct expansion photovoltaic-
thermal) is intimately relevant to the system configuration. Inappropriate system …

Cost-effective photovoltaics (PVs) require a high energy yield with a long system lifetime.
However, both are adversely affected by temperature. Here, we assess the economic impact …
