Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2018
Abstract Progress made in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) in tandem with silicon, thin films, and organic solar cells has been reviewed. Tandem configurations are comprised of two or more cells and are designed to absorb the entire range of the solar light by the successive cells.

Amorphous silicon (a-Si) is a promising material to serve as the top absorbing layers in tandem solar cells. However, due to its intrinsic high defect density, the thicknesses of a-Si layers are limited to a few hundred nanometers. This severely restricts the top cell current density, and therefore the total current density.

Solution‐Processed Organic Tandem Solar Cells
Advanced Functional Materials, 2006AbstractA solution‐processed polymer tandem cell fabricated by stacking two single cells in series is demonstrated. The two bulk‐heterojunction subcells have complementary absorption maxima at λmax ∼ 850 nm and λmax ∼ 550 nm, respectively. A composite middle electrode is applied that serves both as a charge‐recombination center and as a protecting ...

According to Shockley-Queisser theory, the efficiency of single junction Si solar cells is unequivocally limited to about 30%. This limit can be overcome by localized nanostructuring of the crystal lattice inside the silicon wafer. The nanocomponents of the device taking the form of electronic walls give the converter fascinating optoelectronic ...

Halide Perovskites for Tandem Solar Cells
The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2017Perovskite solar cells have become one of the strongest candidates for next-generation solar energy technologies. A myriad of beneficial optoelectronic properties of the perovskite materials have enabled superb power conversion efficiencies (PCE) exceeding 22% for a single-junction device. The high PCE achievable via low processing costs and relatively

Tandem solar cell cost relations
2016 IEEE 43rd Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC), 2016Tandem solar cells overcome conversion efficiency limitations of conventional single-junction solar cells by using multiple absorber materials with different band gap energies. The absorber materials are stacked in sequence with decreasing band gap energy, thus reducing thermalization losses in the conversion process. The improved conversion efficiency

Solar Energy, 1979
Abstract The performance of integrated tandem solar cell (ITSC) devices made from pn homojunctions has been investigated. The intrinsic electrical interconnection present in an ITSC device places important restrictions on the choice of the energy gaps of the semiconductors to be used. Total conversion efficiencies are calculated and they are compared

Tandem quantum well solar cells
2008 33rd IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference, 2008Quantum wells offer advantages in conventional bulk tandem solar cells since they allow the independent tailoring of the absorption edge of either cell with no lattice mismatch and subsequent relaxation. We describe progress in the band gap engineering of InGaP/GaAs solar cells using strain balanced quantum wells and present a tandem quantum well ...
