Perovskite Innovation Featured in SANSAD TV

Prof. (Dr.) Somitra Satpati of IIT Roorkee is the Head of the Centre for Sustainable Energy in the Department of Physics. Dr. Satpati obtained his research degree from a university in the United States. He is working on perovskite solar modules, with the objective of developing perovskite solar panels. Silicon solar panels convert approximately 20–22 percent of sunlight into electrical energy. Perovskite solar cells, on the other hand, can achieve efficiencies of up to 34 percent. Therefore, perovskite solar cells have become a major focus of global commercial interest.
