In this special guest feature, Santina Russo from CSCS writes that scientists are using the "Piz Daint" supercomputer at CSCS to investigate a perovskite material for use in solar cells. "Solar cells made out of certain perovskite materials already exceed 22% efficiency in converting solar light to electrical energy under lab conditions, which is more than commercial silicon cells. However, not all perovskite materials exhibit such favorable properties, and the physics behind their photovoltaic performance is not yet fully known. Understanding these processes is important, since this will facilitate the design of new materials with favorable properties in the future."
