Semi-Transparent Perovskite Solar Cell

Caption

The semi-transparent perovskite solar cell absorbs UV, blue and yellow visible light. It allows red light and infrared radiation to pass through. Based on this principle, a double-layer "tandem solar cell" can be built with an efficiency that is much higher than single-layer solar cells.
