Solar breakthrough alert: Fraunhofer ISE just hit 30.6% efficiency with a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell.
What makes this special? They used an industry-standard TOPCon bottom cell—meaning this tech could actually scale to mass production, not just stay in the lab.
This could be a game-changer for making solar panels significantly more powerful.

Fraunhofer ISE achieves 30.6% efficiency for perovskite-silicon tandem based on industry-standard bottom TOPCon cell
Researchers at Fraunhofer ISE have developed a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell using a TOPCon bottom cell with standard textured front surfaces. Their results show that TOPCon bottom cells can perform comparably to heterojunction cells in tandem devices in terms of shunt resistivity, supporting scalable, cost-effective industrial production.
