“Researchers from the Australian National University (ANU) have broken new ground in solar cell energy efficiency and in the process provided a glimpse of the technology’s future.
The researchers have a set a new record of 21.6 percent efficiency, the highest ever achieved for perovskite cells above a certain size.
This means 21.6 percent of sunlight hitting the cells is converted into energy.
Associate Professor Thomas White says as a comparison, typical solar panels being installed on rooftops right now have efficiencies of 17-18 percent…”
