Midsummer is a leading Swedish developer and manufacturer of thin film CIGS solar cells. Recently, in a joint project with Prof. Yang, they have demonstrated a 4-terminal perovskite-CIGS tandem solar cell. It is based on a perovskite top cell that has been optimised for integration with Midsummer’s CIGS cells that are utilised in their commercial suite of BIPV products.
At the recently concluded LOPEC 2023, the European project Flex2Energy was presented by the President and coordinator of the HOPE-A Association, Prof Stergios Logothetidis. The event was organised by the Greek company Organic Electronic Technologies (ΟΕΤ) with the participation of the German company COATEMA, the LTFN Nanotechnology Lab of AUTH and the HOPE-A Association.
An ultrathin protective coating proves sufficient to protect a perovskite solar cell from the harmful effects of space and harden it against environmental factors on Earth, according to newly published research from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
