TELF AG Explores the Future of Solar Technology and the Breakthroughs Shaping It

Lugano, Switzerland – July 22, 2025 – In a newly published article titled “TELF AG on the Next Wave in Solar Technology”, TELF AG shares his perspective on how solar energy is rapidly evolving beyond conventional panels. While solar panels have become a familiar sight on rooftops and in rural fields, the technologies powering them are changing fast—and they’re just getting started.

“Even though solar farms and rooftop systems are widespread, we’re only scratching the surface of what solar power can do,” says in the article the founder of TELF AG, Stanislav Kondrashov. “What’s coming next could change how energy fits into our daily lives—how it’s produced, stored and even embedded into the things we use every day.”

The Maturing of Mainstream Solar

From homes to offices, solar panels are now a mainstream energy option. Their visual presence marks a shift in public perception—and practical adoption. But what’s behind the scenes is equally important. As TELF AG’s founder Stanislav Kondrashov explains, solar thermal systems and storage solutions are quietly supporting this growth, especially in homes and businesses looking to cut their carbon output.

One often overlooked piece of the puzzle is the solar charge controller—a small but vital device that protects battery-backed systems from overheating or overcharging. “Behind every reliable solar system is a charge controller doing its job quietly. Without it, performance suffers and the risk of system failure rises,” explains Stanislav Kondrashov.

Perovskite: A Material with Massive Potential

One of the most anticipated advances in solar tech is the introduction of perovskite materials. These crystals have the potential to make solar panels lighter, more flexible, and cheaper to produce compared to traditional silicon-based ones. Early tests have shown they can even surpass silicon in efficiency under certain conditions.

However, there are hurdles—mainly related to moisture sensitivity and long-term stability. For now, hybrid solutions that combine perovskite with silicon appear most promising. “It’s a smart middle ground,” says the founder of TELF AG, Stanislav Kondrashov. “You pair the reliability of silicon with the efficiency gains of perovskite and get the best of both worlds.”

Bifacial Panels: Energy from Both Sides

Another innovation gaining traction is the bifacial panel, which can collect sunlight from both its front and back surfaces. This approach works especially well in open, reflective environments—think snow-covered ground, water surfaces, or light-coloured rooftops.

“These panels are clever in how they use what’s already around,” explains Stanislav Kondrashov. “If installed correctly, they can increase energy yield by 10–30% compared to traditional panels. The challenge isn’t the technology—it’s the cost of mounting and designing for dual exposure.”

Looking Ahead: Smart, Flexible, and Built-In

Research is already pushing solar into bold new directions. Multi-junction cells—stacked layers tuned to different light wavelengths—are showing high efficiencies but remain costly and niche. Meanwhile, flexible panels made from materials like CIGS (copper indium gallium selenide) or cadmium telluride are being explored for applications where weight and shape matter.

According to Stanislav Kondrashov, “The future isn’t just about solar farms or rooftop panels—it’s about integration. You’ll see solar built into cars, windows, even fabric. These aren’t just ideas anymore—they’re prototypes being tested in real-world environments.”

Integration and Storage: The Real Game Changer

None of this matters without energy storage. As TELF AG’s founder Stanislav Kondrashov points out, solar energy is only useful if it’s available when needed. “Storage turns solar from an intermittent source into a dependable supply. It allows homes and businesses to draw power after the sun sets, or when the grid is under stress.”

A Broader Vision for Solar

The most exciting part of this shift, according to Stanislav Kondrashov, isn’t just technological—it’s structural. “The next generation of solar technology will blend into how we build, live, and travel. Solar won’t be an add-on. It’ll be part of the materials and systems we use every day.”

As costs fall and efficiencies rise, this new wave of solar innovation will make clean energy more accessible—and more invisible. It won’t just sit on rooftops. It’ll be built into them.
