Description
The principal project goal is the demonstration of a high-performing 4-terminal FAPBI3-perovskite/CI(G)S tandem module of at least 27% efficiency, passing the outlined durability specifications based on the IEC 61215 module quality test (MQT) 10, 11, 13 and isos-L-2, demonstrating at least 26% power conversion efficiency (PCE) after 6 months of outdoor testing, and demonstrating perovskite top-modules at PCE = 20.5% with an aperture area exceeding 500 CM2 that pass MQT 21 and isos-L-2 testing. The project will be carried out among three internal first solar R & D sites as well as two leading academic partners in perovskite development and characterization. The goals and the timeline of the seto project align well with first solar's internal plan. With a combined emphasis on efficiency, reliability, and scaling up, this seto program poses tremendous technical challenges, but if successful, will provide a pathway for a commercially viable, beyond 25% PCE, thin-film only PV technology.
