Singapore-based Cosmos Innovation has amassed a war chest to support its fundamentally different approach to developing perovskite silicon tandem solar cell technology.
Perovskite silicon tandem solar cell technology is a mouthful, but it’s basically perovskite crystals layered on top of silicon cells. The combination Perovskite silicon tandem solar cell technology sounds like a mouthful, but it’s basically perovskite crystals layered on top of solar cells. The combination captures more energy from the sun than traditional silicon cells, creating very powerful solar panels. That sounds simple enough, but designing an efficient perovskite silicon tandem solar cell isn’t easy because of its multi-layer architecture. A Singapore-based company called Cosmos Innovation is making the process more efficient by using AI to optimize the design of perovskite silicon tandem solar cells and is using its tech to build a self-operating fab.
