Stacked solar modules

How a prototype solar cell module has achieved high efficiency?

The prototype solar cell module has achieved high efficiency by efficiently converting light of various wavelengths into energy by a new structure which has compound two-junction solar cells on the top layer and silicon solar cells on the bottom layer.

Which solar cell module has the highest conversion efficiency?

Sharp Corporation, working under the Research and Development Project for Mobile Solar Cells *3 sponsored by NEDO *4, has achieved the world's highest conversion efficiency of 33.66% in a stacked solar cell module that combines a tandem double-junction solar cell module *5 and a silicon solar cell module.

What is a solar module based on?

Until now, the module’s base has been a compound triple-junction solar cell that stacks three light absorption layers with indium/gallium/arsenide as the bottom layer, but we changed to a new structure with a double-step junction of indium/gallium/phosphorous and gallium arsenide as the top layer and silicon on the bottom layer.

What are the dimensions of organic solar modules?

The organic solar modules have cell widths of a) 3.63 mm (12 cells) and b) 3.19 mm (13 cells). The first aspects to notice are the difference in the I sc of the semitransparent perovskite and filtered organic modules as well as the effect of the relative current mismatch on the tandem efficiency.
