URE claims breakthrough in perovskite solar cell development

United Renewable Energy (URE), a U.S -based solar company, has announced that it has made a breakthrough in developing perovskite solar cells in collaboration with National Taiwan University, with energy conversion rates reaching as high as 26%, the company claims. It seems that these cells by URE are silicon/perovskite tandems.

URE said it has also developed N-type HJT and TOPCon solar cells. URE has reportedly begun shipments for HJT solar cells with a maximum energy conversion rate of 24.5% and will start small-volume production of TOPCon solar cells later in 2021.
