Located at the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS), National University of Singapore (NUS), the REC@NUS Corp Lab is jointly set up by NUS-SERIS and REC Solar, to research, develop, and commercialise disruptive solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies based on perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells.
The Corp Lab will address the technological efficiency-cost dilemma of the PV industry by demonstrating a large-area perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell technology with an energy conversion efficiency of 30 percent. It will also develop one-of-its-kind capabilities to manufacture these advanced solar cells cost-effectively to facilitate industry adoption.
The REC@NUS Corp Lab will bring together complementary research expertise and talent from NUS and REC Solar, in partnership with the Nanyang Technological University, to facilitate Singapore’s manufacturing of cost-effective high-performance tandem solar cell technologies. The project will comprise about 40 researchers and aims to train up to 20 PhD students over the next five years.
