Solar cell manufacturer Neo Solar Power has begun volume manufacturing of what it is calling the ‘Perfect Cell’ – a monocrystalline silicon cell that yields a conversion efficiency of 17.8%. A Digitimes story reported the start of the volume production, which will see 60 of these Perfect Cells formed into a module that is theoretically capable of producing more than 250W of power, compared to the current mono- and multicrystalline module yield of 220W.
The company also produces ‘Supercell’, a multicrystalline silicon cell that yields a 16.8% conversion efficiency, currently in mass production.
