This project aims to develop a new type of solar cell that is much more efficient than today’s commercial silicon solar cells. Increasing cell efficiency is one of the most effective ways to reduce the cost of solar electricity, but silicon cells are approaching practical and theoretical limits. This project expects to boost the efficiency of silicon solar cells by adding a low-cost solar cell on top to create a tandem device. The expected outcome is a solar cell that can convert more than 30 per cent of incident sunlight into electricity, compared to 20-25 per cent for current cells. Developing cheap, high efficiency solar cells should further reduce the cost of solar electricity, and accelerate the uptake of clean energy.

该项目旨在开发一种新型的太阳能电池，这种电池的效率比目前商用的硅太阳能电池要高得多。提高电池效率是降低太阳能发电成本的最有效方法之一，但硅电池正在接近实际和理论极限。该项目希望通过在顶部添加一个低成本的太阳能电池来创建串联器件，从而提高硅太阳能电池的效率。预计的结果是，一种太阳能电池可以将入射太阳光的30%以上转化为电能，而目前的太阳能电池只有20%到25%。发展廉价、高效的太阳能电池应进一步降低太阳能发电成本，加快清洁能源的吸收。
