A tandem solar cell based on a combination of an amorphous silicon (a‐Si) and polymer solar cell (PSC) is demonstrated. As these tandem devices can be readily fabricated by low‐cost methods, they require only a minor increase in the total manufacturing cost. Therefore, a combination of a‐Si and PSC provides a compelling solution to reduce the cost of electricity produced by photovoltaics.
