High efficiency modules could be “the future of solar” as module manufacturers are making the move to such technologies to get the most out of solar as prices come down.

A triple-junction compound solar module with a conversion efficiency of 31.17% has been created by a project involving Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) and Sharp.

Panasonic claims to have set a new module efficiency record of 23.8%, a full percentage point higher than the previous record c-Si record.
