Silicon-Based Tandem Solar Cells and Modules

The aim of our work on Silicon-based Tandem Solar Cells and Modules is to achieve higher efficiency levels for solar cells and an even greater reduction in the cost of solar electricity . This technology is one of the fastest developing solar technologies and makes it possible to overcome the 29.4 %Auger limit of single junction silicon solar cells. With the expected higher efficiencies of tandem solar cells, a higher energy yield per surface area can be achieved. This creates potential savings in solar cell and module materials - an important aspect with regard to the sustainability of photovoltaics. 

We cover the entire value chain from technology development and analysis of cells and modules through to the integration of modules in a wide range of applications. We evaluate the latest technologies and processes for cell and module manufacturers as well as for system and material manufacturers. In addition, our expertise in the areas of simulation, cell-, material- and module- analysis as well as cost and life cycle analysis enables us to offer our customers a comprehensive range of options for evaluating and transferring the tandem technology to an industrial environment.
