In May NREL set a new benchmark for solar panel efficiency. Solar power is one of the most readily available renewable resources out there, if you can harness it. These new cells aren’t just impressive for their efficiency but how little light intensity was required.
Details of the development are outlined in the paper “Triple-junction solar cells with 39.5% terrestrial and 34.2% space efficiency enabled by thick quantum well superlattices,” which appears in the May issue of the journal Joule.
The results come from Inverted Metamorphic Multi-junciton cells. Great recap of current solar panel tech from Undecided with Matt Ferrell:
Scientists have just had a major solar panels efficiency breakthrough, and it could mean a big change for the future of renewable energy.
