efficiency record

Researchers at Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy have claimed two new record efficiencies in tandem PV modules.

Chinese solar manufacturer Trinasolar has achieved a 30.6% large-area perovskite-silicon tandem module efficiency.

Researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and Humboldt University Berlin have achieved an efficiency of 24.6% with a copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) and perovskite tandem solar cell.

Chinese solar manufacturer Trinasolar has set a 25.44% module efficiency record with a solar total passivation (TOPAS) heterojunction (HJT) PV module.

Perovskite solar cell researcher Oxford PV has unveiled a new perovskite-silicon tandem module in conjunction with German module producer Sunmaxx, with a record conversion efficiency of 26.6%.

JinkoSolar has developed a new tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) perovskite tandem cell, with a power conversion efficiency of 33.24%.

New research into mixed tin-lead perovskite solar cells has demonstrated the effectiveness of using carboranes to regulate cell temperature.

Perovskite solar cell researcher Oxford PV and German research organisation Fraunhofer ISE have developed a full-sized tandem PV module with a record efficiency of 25%.

Chinese solar manufacturer Huasun has claimed a “record-breaking” power output and conversion efficiency for its heterojunction technology (HJT) modules.

LONGi has developed a crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem solar cell with a power conversion efficiency of 33.9%, the highest on record.
