Researchers at the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics at the University of New South Wales have achieved a 12.1% efficiency rating for a 16 sq cm perovskite solar cell, the highest for a cell of that size. Team leader mini-module thinks she can reach 24% within a year or so. Sacrificing some efficiency for increased durability and working as a tandem layer with conventional cells could be the fastest route to commercialisation for the technology.
