At Intersolar Europe, the Chinese manufacturer also said the perovskite-silicon tandem module would cost 50% of a crystalline silicon module that costs $0.15 per W, meaning $0.075 per W.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The company said the deployment of their pure perovskite module at the China Three Gorges solar project represented the state-of-field testing stage of the product.

    The company hopes to deploy multiple 1 MW projects before the end of the year across different geographies with different environmental traits, to test the viability of the perovskite module.

    Starting at the end of next year, GCL will begin deploying their perovskite silicon tandem solar module.

    Wang also explained that combining two solar panels was a much simpler process than making a tandem solar cell, and that of the hand-crafted perovskite silicon tandem modules, the units work 95% of the time, and that once the manufacturing line is in place this value will reach near 100%.

    When asked by pv magazine about future efficiency gains, Wang said GCL – in this case – is a perovskite company first.

    The current silicon base module used is a TOPCon unit, however, GCL believes that heterojunction will be the best long-term solution due to the product’s higher voltage.
