The research group of the Photovoltaic Cell Laboratory of the Technological and Renewable Energy Institute (ITER) develops a new method that allows improving the stability of photovoltaic devices based on perovskite structures. The results of the research, developed together with the departments of Industrial Engineering and Specific Didactics of the ULL, have been published by the scientific journal Applied Sciences.
The photovoltaic market has been dominated by silicon, the compound on which most solar panels are based, but in recent years the possibilities offered by perovskite, a more efficient, accessible and less expensive material, have been investigated.
The Island Councilor for Innovation, Enrique Arriaga, explains that “researchers have improved the efficiency and stability of perovskite, key to replacing silicon in solar panels.”
