Commercial silicon sits at 22 to 24%, not its ceiling
Commercial single-junction silicon modules run 22-24% today, well short of the 29.4% practical limit. Stacking a perovskite top cell on top of proven silicon captures the energy that gap leaves on the table, certified lab records already clear 35.5%.
Commercial single-junction silicon modules (dominant TOPCon technology) are closing in on a practical limit of 29.4%. The material is approaching its ceiling, but has not reached it yet.
Stacking a perovskite top cell on top of proven silicon captures the high-energy photons silicon wastes as heat. The current certified lab record was set by LONGi.
Moving from silicon's baseline to today's commercial tandem modules means more power from the same footprint, before efficiency climbs further.
