The aim of this work package is to develop perovskite tandems with either silicon or alternate material bottom cells that will achieve >30% efficiency, and to develop manufacturable approaches to deliver these high efficiency tandem technologies. Cell durability has improved to maintain 96% of peak efficiency after 530 hours in wetting conditions and 94% after 2,200 hours in the air. Cells also maintained 93% of peak efficiency after ~2000 hours under one sun open-circuit conditions and 90% after 1000 hours at the maximum power point, respectively. Moreover, >24% efficient single junction and >19% inverted perovskite solar cells were achieved, and 27% efficiency mechanically stacked perovskite/Si tandems. Ongoing work targets the fabrication of encapsulated perovskite cells that achieved efficiencies of over 25% and maintain 20% efficiency at 85% relative humidity, 85 °C, and continuous 1 sun illumination.
