Meeting the ambitious challenge of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and holding the average increase of global temperature below 1.5°C necessitates the upscaling of readily available renewable energy sources, the window of time to achieve this goal is closing fast, so it is key to accelerate the decarbonisation of the global energy system by increasing the power output of solar cells. In this presentation, I will show how the integration of perovskites into the well-established silicon production infrastructure can raise the rate of solar deployment. Perovskite/silicon tandems deliver a technological disruption in efficiency while maintaining compatibility with the present photovoltaics industry, making it the fastest route to enhance the silicon market and rapidly address climate change.
