This $5,400,000 Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) under the Renewable Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.087), aims to address key challenges in perovskite-silicon tandem solar module technology. The primary focus is on improving the durability, scalability, and efficiency of these advanced solar modules by enhancing perovskite ink purity, optimizing buried interfaces and surface engineering, and advancing light management and packaging design. The project is being conducted by Cubicpv Inc., a for-profit solar technology company based in Bedford, Massachusetts, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This award, which commenced in October 2024 and is expected to be completed by December 2025, builds upon Cubicpv's previous federal grant work on demonstrating high-efficiency, lead-safe perovskite solar modules with extended lifetimes.
