About Tandem PV
Tandem PV is a technology startup based in San Jose, California dedicated to producing 50% of global energy from solar by 2050. Tandem PV was founded by Colin Bailie and Chris Eberspacher in 2016 as part of the Department of Energy’s exclusive Cyclotron Road accelerator.
The company uses metal-halide perovskite/silicon tandems to upgrade silicon solar panels: sharply decreasing installed systems costs, significantly increasing module manufacturing profit margins, and opening up vast new solar markets in the US and worldwide. Tandem PV's mission to create more sustainable solar energy has been supported by the US Department of Energy ARPA-E, Advanced Manufacturing Office, Solar Energy Technologies Office, US National Science Foundation, the California Energy Commission, and others.
The next generation of solar
Mechanically-stacked perovskite+silicon tandem solar panels provide a unique opportunity for solar to reach new efficiency heights while reducing manufacturing cost.
Our product design enables a drop-in manufacturing replacement of conventional cover glass and compatibility with established field installation methods
