    Spectral correction in yield forecasts for 2T perovskite-silicon tandem modules

    Live recording of Dr. Malcolm Abbotts presentation from the 53rd IEEE PVSC 2025 in Montreal, covering spectral correction methods for yield forecasting of perovskite-silicon tandem solar modules. The talk explores how spectral effects are significantly stronger in tandems compared to conventional silicon cells, and demonstrates integration approaches for both advanced simulation software and industry-standard tools like PVSyst.
