Traditional silicon-based solar cells have reached efficiency limits, prompting researchers to explore innovative materials and architectures. Perovskite and tandem solar cells have emerged as promising next-generation solutions, poised to revolutionize the solar industry.

Perovskite Solar Cells: A New Frontier Perovskite solar cells have garnered immense attention due to their remarkable efficiency gains. These cells utilize a novel material, methylammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3PbI3), with a perovskite crystal structure. This unique configuration enables:

- Higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) rates: 23.6% (Oxford PV, 2022) vs. 22.3% for traditional silicon (Trina Solar, 2022)
