The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Stanford University to design, develop, fabricate, and test packaged perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells.

The proposed project would involve data analysis, computer modeling, design, preliminary engineering, and laboratory scale research and development. Associated activities including the design, development, fabrication, and testing of solar cells would occur at Stanford University’s dedicated Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials (Stanford, CA). Other design, fabrication, and testing activities would take place in research laboratories at Arizona State University (Tempe, AZ). No change in the use, mission or operation of existing facilities would arise out of these efforts. The facilities have all applicable permits in place, and would not need additional permits for the proposed activities.
