“Our objective is to enhance the current density for fabricating high-efficiency perovskite/CIGS tandem solar cells with the potential to achieve efficiencies exceeding 30%.” The research ...

This new development may lead to solar panels that are more cost-effective and energy-dense and would benefit homes, ...

A collaborative team from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and Humboldt University Berlin has set a new world record in solar energy conversion in CIGS-perovskite tandem cells. Their latest ...

Indian researchers have proposed to build tandem solar cells based on a CIGS top cell and a bottom cell relying on a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) absorber. SWCNTs were previously used in ...

and standalone perovskite cells are still breaking new ground. The impressive performance of the 4T perovskite-CIGS tandem solar cell proves that perovskite is no longer an ideal material but a ...

Second Generation: Thin-Film Solar Cells Second-generation solar cells include thin-film technologies such as cadmium telluride (CdTe) and copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS). These cells are more ...

Thin film solar panels are composed of solar cells that ... making them a rival for CdTe. CIGS panels are typically made from zinc oxides, which are easier to dispose of. The issue with CIGS ...
