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.

India’s decisive leap beyond gigawatts post-COP30
India’s renewable energy journey has long been narrated through the lens of capacity: gigawatts added, modules produced, plants commissioned. While these indicators are important, genuine leadership will arise from our ability to embed advanced materials, high-efficiency solar cell architectures like TOPCon, N-Type and rear-contact technologies, robotics-driven precision manufacturing, and AI-enabled predictive monitoring into our value chains.
