Shifting sunlight can cut next-gen solar output outdoors, study finds

Perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells are a leading candidate for the next leap in clean energy. But new research, published in eScience Energy, indicates that lab results alone do not determine how well these panels perform once they are operating outdoors.  The researchers found that fluctuations in sunlight outdoors can reduce the power these panels deliver. Still, they generated more electricity per unit of land than conventional silicon mod…
