The research group led by Professor Martin Green has published Version 66 of the solar cell efficiency tables. The new version reports 17 new results. The international research group led by Professor Martin Green of the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia has published Version 66 of the “ Solar Cell Efficiency Tables” in Progress in Photovoltaics . Scientists reported adding 21 new results to the new tables since December. The tables include the record efficiency of 27.81% achieved by Chinese manufacturer Longi for its hybrid interdigitated back contact (HIBC) crystalline silicon solar cell and a 26.1% efficient kesterite (CZTSSe) solar cell manufactured by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Two other interesting results are the 26.9% efficiency achieved by Soochow University and UNSW for a halide perovskite solar cell and the 23.7% efficient mini perovskite solar module developed by Chinese specialist Microquanta. Additionally, the tables include Longis recently achieved 27.3% efficiency for a back-contact (BC) heterojunction solar cell and a 24.1% efficient PERC cell manufactured by Trina Solar. JinkoSolar also appears on the list with a 26.7% efficient TOPCon cell and a 27.1% efficient TBC (all-TOPCon interdigitated back contact) photovoltaic device. Other results relate to kesterite cells, multi-junction devices, and tandem solar technologies, among others. In Version 65 of the tables, published in November , the researchers added 17 new results. The group has seen significant improvements in all cell categories since 1993, when the tables were first published. The research group includes scientists from the European Commissions Joint Research Centre, the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems and the Institute for Solar Energy Research (ISFH) in Germany, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Japan, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in the United States. |
