Semitransparent perovskite solar cells (SCs) and their potential integration with silicon SCs in tandem configurations attract significantly increasing interest in the photovoltaics community. In addition to being highly spectrally complementary, these perovskite and silicon SCs have very different optimal‐performing sizes and consequently ideal measurement schemes for their integration in four‐terminal (4T) tandem configurations need to be investigated in detail. Herein, the effect of different active areas on both perovskite and silicon SCs on their photovoltaic performances is investigated. Furthermore, the commonly used filtering 4T tandem measurement scheme (named as filtered) is systematically compared with the size‐matching scheme (named as masked) demonstrating that when using the same top semitransparent perovskite and bottom silicon SCs in different measurements schemes, the total 4T tandem power conversion efficiency (PCE) can differ by more than 1%. The concepts presented here highlight the importance of optimal measurement schemes to assess 4T tandem PCE and rationalize the effect of compromise between the subcells size matching and the identification of the maximum PCE potential.

“…Such an optical coating has potential to reduce damage to the cell from laser ablation in high-throughput laser machining. Yan et al [9] also report a new optical coating technology. By applying a double-layer anti-reflection coating to monocrystalline silicon-based n-type front and back contact (nFAB) solar cells, they report improved collection in the ultraviolet portion of the solar spectrum.…”

“…The MLAR film can increase the transmission of the glass cover in a narrow spectral range due to its lower refractive index [8]. However, the solar cells need a lower reflectance over a wide spectral range from the ultraviolet to the near-infrared in applications [9,10]. Kang et al [11] prepared a TiO 2 MLAR film on an amorphous silicon/amorphous silicon-germanium tandem solar cell, increasing its PCE only by 0.25%.…”

The AlO X monolayer anti-reflection (MLAR) films and the AlO X /MgF2 bilayer anti-reflection (BLAR) films were deposited on high-purity glasses with magnetron sputtering. We investigated the influences of sputtering power on the O/Al molar ratio, microstructure, and optical properties of the AlO X MLAR films and AlO X /MgF2 BLAR films. The results showed that a too high or a too low sputtering power was detrimental to the preparation of the high-quality films, which could only be obtained when the sputtering power was 115 W. However, the sputtering power did not affect the crystallinity of the films, all of which were amorphous. When the sputtering power was 115 W, the high-purity AlO X MLAR film exhibited an O/Al molar ratio of 2.27:1, a refractive index of 1.426, and an average transmittance (T avg: average transmittance of the quartz glass deposited the film, hereinafter the same) of 94.03% within 300–1100 nm wavelength range. The T avg of AlO X /MgF2 BLAR film with a power of 115 W was 94.99%, which was 1.92% higher than that of the glass substrate. And it improved the cell’s photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) by 3.19%.
