Product description
EneCoat’s perovskite/silicon 4-terminal tandem solar cell is a cutting-edge solution that revolutionizes solar energy conversion. By combining semitransparent perovskite films with traditional silicon cells, this innovative technology achieves energy conversion efficiencies exceeding 30% in lab settings.
The ultrathin and flexible architecture of the tandem cell allows for high efficiency even in low-light conditions, such as cloudy skies or indoor light. It can be utilized across a wide range of applications, including automotive roofs, wearable devices, emergency shelters, and satellites.
The perovskite layer is manufactured using a low-temperature roll-to-roll coating process, providing scalability and cost advantages. The transparent film enables infrared light to pass through to the silicon cell underneath, optimizing energy capture across the solar spectrum.
Its lightweight and bendable nature make it suitable for integration into curved and portable structures, enabling 'power anywhere' and supporting mobility and distributed power generation. Collaborative projects with industry leaders like Toyota for automotive integration and the Tokyo Government for IoT-sensor-equipped urban infrastructure showcase the versatility of this modular and efficient solar solution.
EneCoat’s tandem solar cell plays a crucial role in advancing carbon-neutral objectives by unlocking new use cases where conventional panels fall short, making it a key player in the transition to sustainable energy solutions.
