Hanwha Solutions to supply tandem solar cells for lunar space‑solar test

South Korean firm Hanwha Solutions announced a contract to provide tandem solar cells for a lunar mission. The cells will be used in a space‑solar test aimed at evaluating performance on the Moon. The project marks Hanwha’s entry into the emerging lunar energy market. Tandem cells combine multiple semiconductor layers to boost efficiency over traditional panels. The test will assess durability under lunar temperature extremes and radiation. Successful results could open commercial opportunities for space‑based power generation. Hanwha plans to leverage the data for future satellite and lunar infrastructure projects. The initiative reflects growing interest in renewable energy solutions beyond Earth.
