New world record solar panel efficiency – 25% by BeefJerky_JerkyBeef Tags:Energy 2 comments What’s the expected life / warranty? Would the lifetime output over, say 20 years exceed that of a similarly sized ~23% efficient silicon panel? So this record breaking 25% is for a two-layer PV module, specifically a „421 W perovskite-silicon tandem glass-glass module“ Too bad that there already exist on the market single-layer silicon only PV cells exceeding 26%. https://solarmagazine.com/solar-panels/topcon-solar-cells/ So what does adding perovskite give us, except higher costs and much much worse degradation?
