Although tandems are now on the roadmaps of many PV manufacturers, much work remains before they are ready for mass deployment.
Adding more devices allows for each device to be optimized to a narrower spectrum giving a higher overall efficiency. Tandem solar cells can either be individual cells or connected in series. Series connected cells are simpler to fabricate but the current is the same though each cell so this contrains the band gaps that can be used.
The main benefit of tandems is that their increased efficiency, EHY, and lower footprints will lead to lower BOS costs per watt per area, racking, cheaper installation, and reduced embodied carbon. Better utilization of incident sunlight may also lead to less overall heating of the module and associated efficiency losses. 153
Tandem solar cells are the next step in the photovoltaic (PV) evolution due to their higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) potential than currently dominating, but inherently limited, single-junction solar cells.
Tandem solar cells, consisting of two or more junctions, 2 have therefore become increasingly attractive for their potential to reach much higher efficiencies (up to >40%) and lower their embodied carbon.
These could include perovskite and OPV thin-film technologies, or other emerging materials. Given the maturity of established single-junction solar cell technologies as well as recent breakthroughs in high band-gap PV technologies that will support tandem devices, there is growing momentum for tandem PV development.
