Let's assume there are solar systems on every roof. And what happens if the sun doesn't shine for a while? Follow the thought experiment of the Tagesschau Podcast. Our solar expert and architect Thorsten Kühn joins us.

At the Advice Centre for Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BAIP) at the HZB, Kühn advises on how solar power can come not only from the roof, but also from the façade. "Photovoltaics in façades are adapting well and will establish themselves as a normal building material in the future," Kühn says in the podcast. The aesthetics do not suffer either: in principle, all façade colours are feasible with photovoltaic panels, says the expert.

    A simpler way to inorganic perovskite solar cells
    Inorganic perovskite solar cells made of CsPbI3 are stable over the long term and achieve good efficiencies. A team led by Prof. Antonio Abate has now analysed surfaces and interfaces of CsPbI3 films, produced under different conditions, at BESSY II. The results show that annealing in ambient air does not have an adverse effect on the optoelectronic properties of the semiconductor film, but actually results in fewer defects. This could further simplify the mass production of inorganic perovskite solar cells.
