The Perovskite Solar Cell Kraken Has Been Unleashed Upon The US

US perovskite specialist Caelux has partnered with silicon panel maker Heliene to launch a commercial‑scale hybrid‑tandem solar module built in Minnesota. The new Hybrid‑Tandem™ panel combines Caelux’s perovskite‑doped glass with Heliene’s N‑type silicon cells, delivering up to 27% conversion efficiency and a 20% boost over Heliene’s standard modules. Production began on November 10, and the first shipments are slated for 2027. The design uses roll‑to‑roll compatible glass, allowing integration into existing lines without new factories. Both companies emphasize a fully domestic supply chain, aligning with recent congressional moves to streamline energy project permitting. The partnership targets 29% efficiency for next‑generation modules, aiming to increase power density for rooftop and utility installations. These modules could reshape U.S. solar market dynamics significantly.

💡 By marrying cheap, roll‑to‑roll perovskite glass with proven silicon cells, the duo delivers record‑level efficiency without new factories, unlocking higher‑output roofs in space‑constrained sites.

Colorado Partners with IBM to Deploy AI-Driven Quantum Ecosystem Mapping and Workforce…

Colorado has joined the IBM Impact Accelerator in a two‑year program to advance quantum technology readiness, ecosystem analytics and workforce development in the Mountain West. Coordinated by the state Office of Economic Development and International Trade, IBM will partner with Elevate Quantum and the Colorado BOCES Association. Phase 1 will deliver a dashboard that maps supply chains, capital flows, equipment and fab dependencies in Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming. The initiative also creates a training track, using schools to teach cleanroom maintenance, wire bonding and vacuum‑system assembly. It targets jobs projected to account for half of the quantum cluster’s employment growth. Colorado is the sole U.S. quantum‑focused member of six‑member accelerator cohort, complementing funding to Elevate Quantum and state tax incentives.

💡 By linking real‑time supply‑chain insight with hands‑on technical training, the program gives the Mountain West a scalable model to turn quantum research into a regional employment engine.
