Perovskite-Silicon Tandem Solar Cell Efficiency Limits

Quick fact

A perovskite-silicon tandem cell has already achieved over 34% efficiency in the lab, while the best single-junction silicon cell stays around 27%, and the theoretical limit for a tandem can exceed 45%.

Why this is interesting

You know solar cells have a theoretical efficiency ceiling—so how could stacking two different materials break past it and double the power output per panel?
